wayne of bellflower, CA November 2, 2009

recieved postcard about prize. said go to pch.com/bonus on net. could not locate this website. found only complaits from others recieving the same postcard. is this a scam?

Albert of West Melbourne, FL October 31, 2009

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!

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,

Heather of OLNEY, MD October 30, 2009
