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.

The "PCH LOTTO 2019" Publishers Clearing House Lottery Scam
an anonymous user from: Buffalo, New York, United States

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.

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.

I received a letter from Publisher Clearing house yesterday with a check for 5540.00 that said I was a winner in the 100 Million dollar supper cash giveaway sponsored by readers digest Mega Millions and Multi-State Lottery Association. 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. Please let me know what it really is. Thank you

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.
