I was given a call this morning by them and I was told that I won a sweepstakes and that I would win a vacation for 2-3 days and that I would also get 3 magazene subscriptions in the mail and a fourth one to rolling stone. But I would have to pay for the fourth. They told me it would only cost me 3.95 but they charged me 35.00 on my card. I was so upset and I wanted to cancel so I call the number they gave me if I had any questions so I did and guess what? the number was to a small hair care place, that sold bows and other hair care products to little girls.

I had to cancel my card and now I have to wait for a new one, and hopefully the bank will send me my 35 after they investigate.

I ordered a 12 month subscription of Muscle & Fitness Magazine through PCH while entering a sweepstakes with them. I was sent one magazine and the bill for 12 issues. I paid the bill in full and have not received anymore magazines.

I was made to actually believe that I won the sweepstakes, and that the prize patrol would show up at my above address. I had chest pains and heart palpitations I was so excited. They had me believing that if I placed more orders I could win even more money. I never won anything from them, and there ought to be a California Class Action lawsuit against Publishers clearingHouse. I am so angry at their fraudulent tactics.

I am out plenty of money from all the junk I have ordered from them as they made me believe I must order to even enter, and have a chance at winning.

My grandpa got a letter recently from what appeared to be a Readers Digest Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes, stating he had won 60,000 dollars cash. He was contacted by a female, who stated all he needed to do was cash a cashiers check for 2900.00, and then Western Union 2850.00 to a p.o. box she provided to him.  Upon looking a little closer, the p.o. box was in the Bahamas. She tried to call the number listed, and that turned out to be a voicemail box that was full. He received  another call from the lady he wired the money to, stating that there had been a mistake, and he had actually won 120,000 and she wanted him to cash another 2900.00 cashiers check and wire her the money.

I bought PCH's Panisonic Laptop for 280 but when they sent it to me the battery was exhausted, granted this computer was a remanufactured one..but this battery cost well over 120 to purchase new. You cant tell me they did'nt know this old battery was'nt used up well before I acquired it.

Over 100 to buy a new battery.!
