Mr. of Seattle, WA October 22, 2009

received notice from pch to respond at pch.com/bonus which I did, then there were no instructions on how to use the prize access code which they say that I should use. what is that all about? I am puzzled by the lack of continuity of pch.

I received a postcard stating I should go to the Internet so that I would not forfeit my eligiblity to participate in a Prize Contest. There is not such Website as www.pch.com/bonus. I went to the internet and found several pages of complaints regarding this so-called "scam" and I am reporting it to you.

Publishers clearing house, got the same post card today that everyone is talking about. No pch.com/bonus web site exists, they are lairs, and deceiving people, their own customers. Jerks, I am done w/ them! There ought to be a way to sue them for false advertisement. Are there any honest companies left in this world? I am beginning to think, NOT! What a sad world we do live in now. Stress, anxiety, complete loss of trust in this whole world, nausea, plain disgusted, and [upset]!

All of you stop complaining. It's all a big joke. Your chances of winning the BIG ONE are one in one billion, seven hundred and fifty million, and you will have to wait until February 29, 2012. Good luck!

I received a post card informing me to respond immediately. The card stated it was from Todd S. A e-mail address was given to contact, but when I tryed to contact this site It wasn't existing. At this time I fear this could have been a scam and maybe this could have given my computer problems

Deborah of Modesto, CA October 22, 2009

I received a bill from PCH for Barber Dimes Mint Mark, I have tried to call but every time I am asked to call back, which I did, to no avail. My problem is this: I did not receive this order. I was turned down for a previous order so I didn't actually believe this one would go through either. Then I received this bill, saying I am late in making a payment. I live in a mobile home and have had problems with my mail before. Possibly it was delivered to a neighbor's mail box (they are all together) and they just didn't give it to me or they put it in the outgoing mail and it got lost.

I really don't know, however, now I am in arrears with company and I am very upset about this. I show that I am late on account and I do not know what to do about it.

Gerri of Edison, NJ October 22, 2009

Received a postcard from PCH stating stating that "We urge you to immediately go online to: pch.com/bonus and please use the special Prize Access Code below." No such website exists. I am so done with them.

Rica of Imperial Beach, CA October 21, 2009

Simply a duplication of what the other complainants have said. They have covered the whole area in their letters leaving not much for any body else to add to. Have received exactly the same postcard and instructions as they have.

I challenge the U.S. government/U.S. Atty. Generals' office to AUDIT the PCH to force verification that these prizes are legitimately awarded and the taxes are verified by the I.R.S. as being a match for the stated winners - then to CLOSE DOWN the PCH! For many years, Publishers' Clearinghouse (PCH) has offered different prize amounts to entice the ppublic to order their magazines, and other "as seen on TV" type items. Some I have bought.

The odds at winning the "Super prize" or any amount close to a "windfall" are as astrologically impossible! Greed is the motivating factor in enter their games with PCH as it is with the Lottery, and both PCH and the Lottery continue to entice people to spend money in order to position themselves to "get rich quick", even with the PCH's disclaimer that "ordering items does not increase the odds of winning".

I, too, got the same postcard as have those others stating that "PCH.com is trying to locate them...". Beyond raising FALSE HOPES for a fortune in Cash, no economic or physical damage has resulted to myself. I cannot say that others have not suffered financially and emotionally for their hopes to get out of great debt with a huge amount of money.
