"2018 PCH Lottery" Publishers Clearing House Lottery Scam

Yes, I have been contacted by a Dave Sawyer saying I have won 3.5 million dollars, a 2018 Lincoln car and 10000 a month for the rest of my life. I was told to ups a check for $999 to Tansy Yates at Indianapolis IN.

Now, they want additional money. Even had me call 887-827-3969 which was Bank of America. At this number I was told 3.5 million was deposited in my name. I kept questioning and he made it sound legit. Until he ask for more money. He is suppose to call me back. The number reach him is 917-900-946 . Please let me immediately if this is a fraud.

Yes, it is fraudulent, it is a scam.

They are using this email address: pchteam2019-eclipso.email

Thank you for advising me about this scam.

I have been sent e-mails by PCH, sky-net delivery service and city connect delivery service in dec. 2018 and jan. 2019 stating I have won $850,000.00 U.S. and to send money-$400.00 U.S. to claim my winnings.

When I googled them I saw your warning about the PCH scam. It sounded legit because they used the name Deborra Holland who is a high ranking officer of PCH. Thanks to your site I saved about $500.00 U.S.

I keep getting interrupted by National resource center that I have won. Something from Mediacom choose a box and you will get 1000 dollar Wal-Mart gift card. Then abunch of adds so I unsubscribe then they can’t be.

Then when I play the games the name is not mine it’s Hubert Bunch .I go back and finally get my name.I am about to-quit PCH. My husband has Waldenstroms Lymphoma

so I can’t keep getting this harassment!

Thank you, SaraMiner.

I was called Tuesday and they said it was Publishing Clearing house. I had won 500,000 dollars as a second place winner in the sweepstakes.

I also received a n email saying I won $850,000.00 and the phone numbers to call were 478-285-4180 and 352-389-9584 and they said to email my personal information to epost_service -yahoo.com and this is fake

Yes, it a fake and scam.

Received via email:

"I had received a message on Messenger from a Mary Paddock stating she received a $500,000 grant from PCH. She sent me a number: (765)294-1125 and said it was her “agent”.

For giggles, I texted a message to that number inquiring about the grants. I received a message back requesting my full name for verification. I’ve been around for awhile, so of course I researched the topic suspecting “SCAM”, so I’m sending you the number and the name of the person that messeged me. I hope this can be of some use."

I received an email showing that my email address was chosen and I was the chosen winner of $850,000 US dollars and to email them and to give them my name,address ,phone number and gender. my claim no:E/PCH/US/369308753US and they will require a light shipping fee.

I was unable to email them because it was an invalid email. please reply.

It is a scam.
