Publishers Clearing House Scam - PCH

Bill c Stevenson owe me money: 800.00

I got a phone call Wed. and Thurs. of this week from a woman who claimed to be Deborah Holland of PCH stating I had won $2.5 million dollars, a Mercedes Benz, and $7,000 a week for life. She sounds like a Black woman with a heavy accent, talks fairly fast and kept telling me not to tell anyone that I'd won so I wouldn't be in jeopardy of any harm. She said to access the e-m she that was sent to me by PCH and I did, but it was not well-written so it made me suspicious. Is this a real offer from PCH or is someone trying to scam me? She didn't ask for any money but I can't help but wonder

I have gotten letters, even gifts from PCH that are real that say that there have already been payouts to me in my name. The man I live with has taken over almost every Facebook account, Gmail, and Google accounts I have made in the last year. I have caught him stealing my bank cards, birth certificates, and even my ID. He changes my passwords and pin numbers to everything and does nothing but lie constantly. I have had several letters that are signed by three PCH workers that tell me I won. What should I do?

If someone contacts you claiming to be from PCH, and tells you that you've won a prize award – then asks you to send a payment or money card in order to claim the prize – STOP! You have not heard from the real PCH. IT'S A SCAM!

And, PCH does not notify its winners through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or any other social media website.

Also, if you receive a phone call from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House and are asked to send money, pay a fee or pre-pay taxes to enter, collect or claim a sweepstakes prize, DON’T BE FOOLED: IT’S A SCAM! You have not heard from the “real” Publishers Clearing House. The call you received was most likely from a fraudulent sweepstakes scam operation. Publishers Clearing House the winning is always free.

I was contacted on Feb 19,2019 by phone by someone from Discovery Bay by the name of John Roger claiming I had won 2.5 million dollars and a 2019 Mercedes Benz. He did not have a foreign accent, but spoke like he had a speech disorder. He asked for my color choice between red, white and black and if I preferred to publish my winning or keep it confidential.

He gave me a verification number www890721US and asked for the name of my bank where I live.

I told him I will not divulge that. He said, ok, but I need to insure the prizes which will cost $300 and it must be wired to him.

I knew all along it must be a scam and was sure of it when he asked for money, since Publishers Clearing House does not ask for money to award a prize.

I told him not to call me again and I hung up. He tried to call me back at least 7 times (shown by my caller ID, but I did not answer it.

I also received several "unknown number calls" which were probably the same person.

I intend to report this to the FBI and National Consumer Protection website. I am 70 years old and I get unsolicited scam and sales calls several times daily.

BEWARE!

They especially love to choose people over 65 as their targets.

I had a scam last week.

The man was Ray Brown and said he was a general manager at PCH.

He had the PCH logo on his message.

He told me that I was going to win $1.5 million dollars, plus $10,000 per week.I reported him to PCH, but I am not sure what they did with the information I supplied.

Please be cautious everyone!

The scammers are using this email address: infopch-pchcsc.net

I too received the same type letter from ms. Deborah holland, accredited fiduciary agent in july 2018. But before i got her email.

I received one from goodman, matthew
then she emailed me to sent info to evergreen courier-outlook.In
(i smelled a rat) especially the evergreen address -outlook.In (india)plus i never entered the pch contest.

I have gotten phone calls before from india wanting to sell me a travel package for only $99, when i asked if he was in mumbi(bombay) he replied bandaglore (it's noted as a call center for a lot of businesses and fraud schemes) and he couldn't understand why i wasn't interested he said it's only $99 and he'd charge it to my credit card and proceeded to tell me the last 4 numbers of my card.

I immediatley called my credit card co and reported it and put a watch on my card.

Why can't pch stop these thieves and robbers, especially when they pray on the elderly? what u s government agency can we report these scammers too to have legal action tak3n against them?

Can the indian govt do anything about them, or does the indian govt care?

According to the Official Rules, if there's no claim on a prize by the selected winner, an alternate winner will be selected to receive the prize instead. We would hate to find out that the winner of a prize didn't get their prize all because they failed to follow proceedings of claiming their prize. We're also sure someone who has been selected a winner like yourself would hate to see their prize money go to an alternate winner.

We urge you to keep your claims code safe from others so as to avoid a double claim on a particular prize. In a case of a double claim, the prize will be canceled and an alternate winner will be selected for that particular prize

Best Wishes,
PCH Email Lotto Team"

Received via email:

"Please evaluate this phone number: (314)354-9110. Claims to be pch grant winnings. Random names pulled from Facebook."

Received the following via email, which a scammer attempts to scam the sender:

"Hi I am writing to you as I recently received a message i felt I needed to raise with you to confirm if it's a scam or suspicious.

I received a message from a FB friend Gary McDonnell via fb messenger asking if I heard of Publishers Clearing House PCH? I said no and mentioned it's a program of the international monetary fund to help pay off old bills, mortgages and college fees and also improves economic growth, financial stability etc.

I asked how did he get involved and he was talking to a lawyer who encouraged him to apply for this program and he did and qualified to receive $680,000. He said it was delivered to his door step by PCH prize patrol and he asked if I got the money too.

I said nope and said it seems too good to be true. He said it's for real and maybe he should give the contact information of the agent in charge of PCH so that I can apply for it also. I said there has to be a catch. Does it come in a cheque form and how is it cleared?

He then sent the link which was http://web.facebook.com/PCHactiveagent. Name is Lawrie Gillies. He said her account is private, just send her a message.

So I did. I was still been extremely sceptical over it all.

Lawrie finally sent me message asking how did I get her page and how may she be if assistance. I mentioned Gary's name and he asked me to apply.

I asked her to please explain it all again to me what it's about.

She said pretty much what Gary said. I said so how do I apply. She said give me your full name dodge could run a check in their database to see if I was eligible for PCH.

She congratulated me saying I am eligible for the PCH as their verification team alerts that my data verification process was successful. These are my identification numbers:
Winning numbers ........
Reference numbers.......
Batch numbers.......
(I didn't write full details here just in case)

Still been sceptical, I asked what these for and I was successful for what, what do these numbers mean?

Next message was as follows :
Claim requirements:
To claim your money you will need to fill this form to avoid double claiming, so that we can locate your destination when bringing your grant money. You are to fill your delivery information and get back to us asap.
Full name
Address
Male/Female
Age
Married/Single
Phone number
Email
Hearing or deaf
Do you own a house or rent appt
Do you want cash or check? (I laughed then as they spelt cheque wrong)
How much is your monthly income
A valid copy of your I'd

You will have to fill out this information right here.

Lawrie then said I must keep those numbers safe or write it down somewhere because that's my winning code.

At this point I was very reluctant to give her any details. I said to myself this has to be a marketing tool. Scammers.

I asked her how safe are my details just to enlighten me.

She said 100% safe with us Mrs Sylvester.

She further mentioned how much I won and it will be delivered in cash or check whatever i would like. She then said she wants to know what day it would be convenient for me to let the delivery team know. She then said if I can let her know how I want the money and several documents will be sent to me and no one will ever disturb me.

I was hoping you might of heard of this place and if it's legit or a scam etc.

If it's legit I will go ahead but I feel it's highly doubtful and is a scam or marketing tool.

Please check this out and write back asap. I am wondering how many others receive these messages and either fell victim or did receive the money.

Kind regards
Donna"

not be done by a third party so beware of it. The instructions given is in

We have gotten two telephone calls, the caller sounds like the same person. The first I deleted, the 2nd I wrote down the phone number we are to call. He was very hard to understand, I couldn't get his name, he 'might' be Indian, but I suspect more probably from an African nation.

The call was about $7,000,000, but as I said, I couldn't understand anything but Publisher's Clearing House and numbers...the phone number to call 337-245-2945, which we did NOT call.

We got another call this morning, the same person. He says his name is 'Wayne Watson'.
