Publishers Clearinghouse

Maureen of Bristol, CT November 6, 2009

I was informed that I had won the 2nd prize in the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstake and my check would be sent via Fed XPress on friday 11/6/09. She did not ask for any money to claim the prize but did not have my zip code or date of birth. I called the number back and after one ring it says to leave a message. I am not sure where they will go with this but I was not asked for money or a credit card number but they do have my personal info.

I too received card others referred to. Many sound like my mother did which is not reading the "fine" print. The card says "additional 1,000,000 prize OPPORTUNITY" - not that they have won that amount - or any amount. My mother died before PCH was ordered before a senate committee and ordered not to continue type of mailings they used to do - with much fine print and insinuating that there was a better chance of winning with a purchase of a certain amount - usually at least 25, and promise of free gifts. The fine print gave the possibilities of receiving each "prize" and there was always a 1 in 1,000,000 (some huge number) and 1 in 1 chance of getting something valued at 10 or less.

Received a post card re attempts to contact me and stating that failure to respond would result in forfeiture of eligibility for a 1,000,000 prize opportunity. It also provided a Prize Access Code to use but no such website could be found to respond to with this code. Do they ever really award any of these prizes they advertise? The card was signed by Todd Sloane - Sr.VP

I received a post card stating that I needed to respond or I would have to forfeit my eligiblility. I went to the website & there was no such website to get on. I'm very disappointed because I was hoping that this was my chance to make a better life for us.

I received a post card Special Online bonus opportunity. Respond or forfeit eligibility. to this E-Mail address: pch.com/bonus. However there is no such web address.It would be interesting to know if the printed US postage paid stamp is even REAL.

TD of Oakland, CA October 31, 2009

Received postcard indicating ttempts to contact me and to go to website pch.com/bonus. No such website; was redirected to Consumer Affairs.com. There should be a law that protects ANY consumer that responds. Reporting this as a "SCAM" and perpetratos MUST be prosccuted to the full extent of the laws of this country! In the event I am charged with ANY amount by person or persons unknown, I acknowledge that I MUST be held "harmless" and "NOT responsible" for ANY a ALL charges effective immediately!
