Publishers Clearinghouse

JoAnn of Spring Hill, FL October 30, 2009

I received a postcard in the mail a couple days ago, decided to go online n' see what its all about. on the front it specifically said PCH.COM IS TRYING TO CONTACT YOU! It said CLAIM prize access enter today. (with my name &address below). ALSO ON FRONT UNDER MY ADDRESS LOOKED LIKE A BARCODE & UNDER IT SAID I.D. NUMBER:00000000000 on the back of the postcard it read WARNING in red, then my name, & failure to respond will forfeit your eligibility from this notice! it said I was eligible for an additional 1,000,000.00 prize opportunity, plus an exciting BONUS.

they urged me immediately to go online to pch.com/bonus & please use the special prize access code below, which read-DB275 w/publisher clearing houses' name below it! ALSO signed Todd S.- Senior Vice President! Nothing, i mean nothing could I find even slightly pertaining to this ad. whats going on?

i never received any such mail like this and pch was always on the up & up as far as i knew. Ive ordered in the past, but not in the last couple years, only entering sweeps. What will come of this? I read others' stories similar to mine so I know what ive got has to be a scam as well. I never received anything like this before and its not making pch look too good either. Im glad I took time to go online & I ended up here. I am dissapointed that someone could actually get away with doing something like this to people. Its wrong! just wrong,

Recieved a post card Oct. 28th. Stated gert on line right a way to claim bonus prise. No such sight as pch.com/bonus. Scam?

Laurel of Ellenville, NY October 28, 2009

I recieved still another scam from Publishers Clearing House Stating that they were trying to contact me to claim a prize. The instructions said got to pch.com/bonus and enter prize access code W6168. There is no such site and they do this kind of thing at least 1 a month claiming now there is a bigger and better prize at the end of each month.

I am tired of their constant solisitation to buy or order things to win big prizes. It's got to stop. We are barely making ends met and have hired credit counselers to help out with the credit card bills. Publishers is one of the many reasons that we have over extended outselves.
