The "PCH LOTTO 2019" Publishers Clearing House Lottery Scam
The PCH LOTTO 2019 Publishers Clearing House Lottery Scam

There is no "PCH LOTTO 2019." Therefore, recipients of emails like the one below, which claim they are winners in such a lottery are asked to delete them because they are being sent by lottery scammers. The aim of the scammers is to deceive their potential victims into thinking they are the real Publishers Clearing House, but they are NOT! The real Publishers Clearing House would NEVER ask their winners for money or personal information for any reason to claim sweepstakes prize awards.

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is a direct marketing company that markets merchandise and magazine subscriptions with sweepstakes, prize-based game, search, and lottery websites.

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) does not ask for bank account or other financial information. There is no processing fee, tax or special handling charge required to win. The Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes prizes are delivered free of charge to the winners.

How to Determine if you are being Scammed

If you are contacted by someone claiming to represent Publishers Clearing House, or claiming to be a PCH employee and asked to send or wire money, send a pre-paid gift card or a Green Dot MoneyPak card, or cash a check and send a portion back to him/her as payment for any reason to claim a Sweepstakes prize, it is a scam.

The scammers’ preferred method of sending money is through Western Union, MoneyGram, Green Dot MoneyPak card. This is because those methods of sending money make it virtually impossible for the victims to get back their money.

Just recently registered with Instagram. There are people on there telling me I won but I know you don’t mention the winners until the end of June. They also called me over the phone. Could barely speak English and heard children and wife in background. This all happened today. This seems like a scam. The people who called said they were from PCH and also have the PCH logo next to their name. Just thought you should be aware of this. Thank you.

I received a letter in the mail, was not from PCH, but had poorly copied or made emblems on the letter stating it was...same check amount dated 4/20/20 wanting me to call 1-845-445-4342....check did look real. The real clue was they asked me to keep it confidential until I contacted a personal representative.

Does pch ever call a person that they have won the sweepstake?

Delete



by info

1. PCH Doesn't Email or Call Its Big Winners
If you receive an email, a telephone call, or a bulk mail letter saying that you've won a big prize from PCH, it's a scam. According to the PCH website:

"All PCH prizes of $500 or greater are awarded by either certified or express letter or in person by our famous Prize Patrol at our option."
So if you receive a prize notification by any other method than certified mail or an in-person award, you know you are being scammed.

2. You Never Have to Pay to Receive a Legitimate PCH Win
Scammers extort money from you in exchange for a promise of a prize that never materializes. The truth is you never, ever have to pay to receive a sweepstakes prize from Publishers Clearing House or any other company.

The check was from Colonial Life the envelope had a stamp from Canada on it but no other return address. Is this the lottery scam you were talking about. They said Walmart Jcpenny a g insurance mega millions and readers digest were all involved in it. These are the phone numbers to call 1-403-471-9116 and 1-204-216-1027.

If you're already a registered Publishers Clearinghouse Participant, there shouldn't be any reason for you to send them any personal information, because they already have it on file. So for them to ask you to send any info should be considered a RED FLAG from the start.

I just got a letter saying I had won some money from publishers Clearing House. There was a check from Swanleap Freight for $8697.50. Claim # CAW-72083 Batch # AR/1019/UC REF # WIX/RE/90100/ILC. They also said, keep this strictly confidential until your cash prize winnings has been processed & remitted to your designated account. I was to call a Mr Glen Smith at 1-516-858-6893. I'm sure this is a scam. But it looks so real-someone may try to cash the check. I have no idea what cookies are!

How does pch contact winners?

Delete


by info

PCH winners of major prize awards are notified live and in person by our famous Prize Patrol. Since PCH awards a steady range of prizes throughout the year, at our option we may notify winners of lesser prize amounts via an overnight express carrier such as UPS, FedEx or USPS Express Mail and occasionally via email. Major prize award and SuperPrize winners are not notified via email. Prizes are awarded within eight weeks of final winner selection.

Only PCH is authorized to notify you of a win from a PCH giveaway. There are never any strings attached to winning a Publishers Clearing House prize. We do not ask for bank account information. There is no processing fee, tax or special handling charge required to win and our prizes are delivered free of charge to the winners. If you were contacted by someone claiming to represent Publishers Clearing House, or claiming to be a PCH employee and were asked to send or wire money, send a pre-paid gift card or a Green Dot MoneyPak card , or cash a check and send a portion back to them as payment for any reason to claim a Sweepstakes prize - STOP - You have not heard from the real Publishers Clearing House.

I find it strange that PCH sends the lotto games through email. Everyday saying chance to win 4,438,000, what ever, drawing tonight but you never see who won big amount.

My 95 year old mother got a call on Tuesday telling her that she won $5 million plus $5000 a week for life. They want her to send them $2500 for taxes. She just returned from my sister's cabin this morning and told me about it. She was going to send them a cashier's check. I told her it was a scam and she didn't believe me until I read this article to her. Makes me angry!

Today (6-20-19) at 12:38PM a man called me and said he was Gerry Walter with PCH and asked if I was familiar with PCH and what that means. I said yes aren't you the ones that show up with the giant checks. He told me I had won 8 point something million dollars and asked how I feel.

I told him happy but a little apprehensive because of all the fraud and scams that are going on. He told me that PCH was hacked and that the contact information of their contestants was taken. He told me that he was glad I understood what is happening around me. He asked if I was home and then how soon I could get home. I told him around 6:30 - 6:45PM he asked me to call him when I was home. I asked for his number and his name again. The number he gave me to call was New York (347)-769-1679. The number that he called from came up as Jamaica (876)-363-1960.

I did try calling it at 6:56PM and got recording that the text now subscriber something something please leave a msg. I really could use some money lately and for a couple minutes after the call thought how awesome that would be and how sh**tty this person is.

I was gonna play like I believed it and ack like I would do whatever to get my prize then tell him a few choice ideas about what I think he should do with himself. I wish someone could find a way to stop this kind of BS ………… ;( maybe someday

I received this same message in my emails yesterday, and after reading this and other things that I have researched, it's very convincing that this may very well be a scam. However; it's also relevant to point out that skynet Express is an actual courier service that operates both here in the U.S. and in certain areas overseas... I still have my skepticism although there is some slight truth as for the courier service is concerned.

I find it hard to believe that people in this day and age of Internet enlightenment, and mass media information are still sending their hard earned money to Nigeria, good luck and Goodbye

Our family was scammed yesterday via a letter from PCH stating that we were grand prize winners in the amount of $2.5 mil and included a check for approx. $6900 to cover insurance and attorney fees. The dummies have deposited this check and sent them $3800 for the insurance.

They said they would receive this the next day and the would call with further instructions. To make this story short, their check bounced and we found out we were scammed out of $7,000. This guy called every minute yesterday saying if we send the rest of the money they would be right over with our winnings including the prepaid money.

Is there some way we can have his 2 phone numbers traced? He also filled up my answering machine with messages.
