sweepstakes winnings
I have recieved a letter stating that i have won 250, 000 dollars in the microsoft / pch sweepstakes lottery. I was sent a check for 3, 950 dollars but told not to attempt to use check until i call and speak with one of their tax agents. The check is drawn out of the members choice of central texas federal credit union. Called the number listed above and was told it is an unavaiable cell number.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
entry deadline reg.
I have recieved numerous invites from PCH about the upcoming sweepstakes. Now that it's drawing to a close the entry deadline form the company has e-mailed me will not let me hit the click to continue button for some strange reason. The deadline is June 7, 2009 and the date this problem has occured falls on today June 3, 2009. I'm not saying this is a scam or anything because hopefully I can try tommorrow to see if the company will let me click on. Either by e-mailing me a new deadline entry claim or processing the current informaton I have submitted I hope this situation will be handled professionally.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
How come I keep receiving different deadline dates to enter. And the winner announcement date were first Dec now I hear Jan or Feb. When is the winner going to be announced?
They keep changing the dates.

Let me tell you what I think about PCH. I play their stupid Slot Games, BJ Games and Bingo Games. I have 3 months worth of pictures showing the Bull that they throw. The lot Games, you never get the full amount of "Bonus" Marks., on the 3 frame slots you get 2 spins, on the 4 frame slots you get 3 spins, and on the 6 frame slots you get 4 spins. The casino part of that game is an even bigger joke. No of the games gives you anything, Oh I'm sorry I won 1 scratch off card $5.00 amazon card. Imagine that I've been dealing with this PCH crap for 39 years and won $5.00 whole dollars. Gee do you thing I need a crew of body guards. It might be too heavy, I may need a forklift to carry it. I've had the $10, 000.00 scratch card so many times on the High Roller game and can you guess what the card said when I scratched it off, You guessed it, "Sorry but this Card is not a winner. The bingo game, I had the winning pattern just 2 weeks a go. It say on the recording; "If your card matches the winning pattern, you win. It doesn't say win an entry in the drawing, I'm DONE WITH PCH AND THEIR SCAM BULL S.
I think Publishers Clearing House just picks a person out of hundreds of million addresses and makes one person a winner, but they really are not giving anyone anything because they put a million dollars in the bank and all they are giving away is the interest on their money.
They fool people into believing they have a chance to win big, but they hoodwink people into buyer their products either by email or snail mail; they disappoint too many people with all their gorilla marketing tactics.
If everyone would just tell them to remove them from their mailing lists, then they would have nobody to sell their magazines and products to...this would put an end to all the disappointments they create.

What a scam this is this is bull-sh, someone needs to stop these this scamming within the world
To whom it may concern
This is a scam and this is BULL, I have gotten mail saying that I was a winner as of Aug 31, 2010, I have not heard from anyone or seen anyone of this winnings. I have playing this for a long time from 2009 till 2010 you pick whom you won’t to win. So take me off the mailing list, I am tired of being lie to from you people as long as I buy the product from you there’s no winnings or owe you money there’s no winnings your nothing but liars and scam artist. Lord knows I need the money but this is Bull-SH.

sigh...
I do not agree with the original complaint written above concerning having won x amount of money, hope you didn't fall for that 'cause that is one of those scam mails like from Nigeria, it wasn't from PCH.
IT is so true on what this person is saying because they been sending me lots of e-mail as well telling me that i could be a winner, but i think it's all a scam because they just want people to continue to buy things and search but never win... sincerly susann nieves
multiple billing scams
I ordered a number of items from Publishers Clearing House and in the beginning the products shipped were the ones I ordered and paid for. Then I began receiving items I did not order and returned them immediately. I began to receive bills for the returned items and tried to reach PCH many times and returned their bills with letters. Finally, I paid the bill simply to avoid a problem with my credit as they threatened me with a collection agency. They cashed the check, but now they are billing me again for more money and will not inform me why only the threatening remarks.
Now, they are calling a phone number belonging to the people who live in another house on my street and leaving threatening messages for me. I don't know how they got that phone number since it is not even listed under my name. I don't even know them and they are being harassed by PCH and it is so embarrassing. This neighbor is threatening to file a complaint against me with our police department.
Someone needs to advocate for people like since there are thousands of us. If you look at this website you will see what I mean: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/misc/publishers_clearinghouse.html
Please help people like me who have no where else to turn.
Thank you.

PCH is absolutely the WORST company to deal with. All I did was order a Berber rug. I paid the first part of the three part payments with a money order, and paid the rest out online with a VISA. They sent SIX payments dues after the darn thing was PAID OUT! On top of which, I ordered a mailsorter for my husband's office, and it never came, and they never even checked on it, or gave us a reason why. Do they hire drug addicts or what? I don't know. WORST people I've ever dealt with, won't deal with them again.
PCH SUCKS! AS DOES IAA, WHICH ARE NOTHING BUT SCAMS. IF THEY BILL ME AND KEEP WANTING MONEY FOR THINGS I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR, THEY ARE NOT GETTING IT!
same thing is happening to me
letter of congratulations
Dear Sir I recieved a letter of congratulations about winning a lotto
of $5.ooo.ooo.00 USD the postage stamp is from canada.
I guess this is a scam would fax the letter is you would like.Can you let me know what to do.
There is also a check for $4450 for processing and legal fees.And that I should not show the letter to anyone

unsolicited call on cell phone
I received a phone call today on my cell from a man claiming to be calling from "Publisher's Clearing House"...a Mr. Allenson. The phone number was [protected]. I looked up the area code and it was listed as "Jamaica"...a split from another area code. He stated that I needed to call him back immediately. That a package from the clearing house was "on it's way!". I haven't filled anything out from them. I am guessing that this is another "scam" to have people call and then they are billed unreal $ amounts on their phones. BEWARE!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
milldewed goods
I ordered Potholders Value Pack. When received, the potholders are smelly, milldewed. After putting them through wash and dry cycles, the smell still remains. I have a bill for $21.95 for shoddy, smelly articles. I will probably have to pay for these unusuable items, but will not order anything from this company again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I never have ordered the potholders, I can get things like that cheaper at the Family Dollar down the street - but I did order the Diabetic Socks (buy two pairs and get two pairs free) got them quick and they're in fine shape, feel great too! Ronald Hartwig
terrible experience
Publishers Clearing House insists that I still owe them money for a dvd in spite of the fact that I have submitted hard-copy documentation that the alleged debt has already been paid in full. Their response indicated that my payment 'was applied to another order... .'
To date PCH has failed to produce a detailed statement indicating to me HOW and WHEN/WHERE my payment(s) have been APPLIED and to which purchase(s)! PCH has clearly demonstrated to me their indifference to fairly addressing customer concerns. Now, my alleged debt has been turned over to a collection agency.
I have filed a formal dispute with the collection agency in which I enclosed a copy of my supporting documentation indicating to them that their debt collection notice is invalid.
I have assembled and maintained, over time, an extensive file documenting every transaction with PCH in anticipation of possibly having to confront an issue such as this. I can assure you that there will be no future transactions with PCH!

I have been playing games all morning and the game just cut off in the middle of my game when trying to log back in it refuses to let me in !1when updating information it refused to do so. ive earned alot of tokens playing games and refuse to start all over .pch games should update information and the tokens you have earned should also be there. my computer has been infected, with all kinds of viruses glitches etc. customer service status is at 0! why would pch.com not correct the problems? stop freezing peoples computers etc. it takes the fun out of pch totally! being plying for years and tired of their mishaps that causes headaches!
received item not ordered
I was sent and charged with an item I did not order, sent a letter referring to this problem, reply was that I did order the item and to send the payment. I want to see a copy of the information I gave this company varifyig that I ordered this item # 5448A4-Pet Nail Trimmer. I offered to send this back but expect the shipping cost to be paid by company Publisher's Clearing House.

It is never give to anyone that really need it.
Never see anyone from the southern states!
I could sure use it as much as those rich people that win. Come see what I live in and the real life.
The only way you will receive something is if your order it through the mail, phone, or internet. You just dont randomly receive an item. People are stupid. Folks that dont remember stuff needs to write crap down they order.
Fraud and cheating
On Friday, February 27th 2009 I got a fraudulent check in the mail for $5, 935.00 from Canada. It said that I had won the 2nd Grand Prize in the Reader's Digest Drawing. The prize was supposedly 1 million dollars.
The check had the name Sharon Mills at [protected] on it. When i called her I was told that an IRS agent had my million. I was supposed to put the $5, 935 in my account and send back $3, 800. The $3, 800 was for fees to come deliver the 1 million.
It sounded immensely real to me and I was planning on going through with it until i read all of the complaints on this website. I've seen others with the same check, who thought they won the same prize, and the same fake information was given to them. It's a scam! I got scammed!
It's depressing, really, that they get people's hopes up and then try to scam you out of all the money you own!

that all they try sell cheap produce making them pay check what a cheat
Not providing statistics
This website's (www.pch.com) contractor does not provide statistics
as to winners who win through snail mail campaign and those
winners who win from online submissions.
It is believed by many of my colleagues and friends that these statistics
are primary to validate the sweepstakes and gives the participants a
clear understanding of their chances.
The website appears to be an advertising SCAM, which translate into
that the online participant names ARE NOT submitted into the pool
of possible winners. Not providing statistics, which are unbiased and
clean only mitigates a fraud. I want an answer, if not, I will submit this
message to online blogs, consumer report agencies, etc.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I received an "Official Entry Validation & Order Form" from Publishers Clearing House in the mail (U.S. Post). How can I verify that this is not a scam and that I have an actual chance to win?
Who needs stats. It doesnt matter. Everyone has the exact same chance as everyone else .
I can verify that Publishers' Clearing House does indeed dole out prizes to winners two or three times a month - my company has videotaped their giveaways since the 1980s, the most recent being last week when a lady won $5000/week for life. We have a great relationship with this company, and can promise that the prizes are real and are often won by people who enter online!
As for the stats etc, that I can't verify or explain. But I do know that PCH is definitely on the up-and-up when it comes to giving away prizes.
spam
I have notified them before about all the Spam i have been getting on my computer but they refuse to take my name and e mail off their list I am getting 40 to 60 a day and I want it to stop and be removed from PCH.com list . THANK YOU

i have been a customer since 2004, and i have entered many many contests, but contest always runs into the next contest, so on and so on.. never ending story... i have purchased several items, some i have returned, but NEVER have i ever won a single thing.. always! oooh sally you are in the running, make sure you play your all your cards to inter the sweepstakes youre a VIP customer... your on the top of our list... yeah right... for what the dummy list probably... get all our hopes up in winning the 7, 000.00 a week prize, but never happens... so Sun City will be wiped off their list this go around... sorry sun city i tried to make us all famous, but looks like i failed... sally
It said I had won a 1, 000 Wal-Mart gift car and I did what it said and even spent an our on the phone with a liberty mutual insurance representative. I have not received any emails confirming my winning of the card.
It's listed above. I want my 1000 dollar walmart gift card I was supposed to get. The scratch off games always freeze up and do not let you complete them every other scratch off.
The PCH game pages don't work properly and freeze up almost every time I play the scratch off games. It is very hard to get a hold of PCH their web search page also never takes you directly to what you are searching for. I hav e received numerous phone calls from magazine sales people and other scam types of businesses.
I have never heard of anyone actually winning. They said it would be announced on WRTV 6 news witch is a Indianapolis station. I never seen on there or heard about any winners except the videos they make them selves. I was told I won a 1, 000 Wal-Mart gift card yesterday and took an hour long survey on PCH trying to sell me magazines and insurance. I supposed to receive an email which I never received. I think they should be held responsible.
How do I delete something that you ordered by mistake and don't want from PCH.
Probably call customer service.
Came to deliver my sweepstakes check but was not there and the neighbors said I moved and I never received my sweepstakes check for $7, 000 dollars a week. Since, they only send notices to activate my account. Since 2012 I have not received my winning from Publishers Clearing House.
I truly believe what they say about pch its just a marketing scam to get people to pay for product in order to win prizes and sweepstakes. If you do not continue to buy they eliminate you from their mailing list. In 30 years I have been dealing with them I have not been notified personally by them except for a bill I owe them.
On the site of publisher clearing house. There are tokens that when you have a certain amount you can redeem them. For prizes and or gifted cards.well i won and i went to redeem them and i want to know when i'm going to get them
I have spent hundred's of dollars on items in hopes of winning the contest. I would say 90% of what I have purchased is junk. Example...squirrel repellent, mole scanners in ground, ice cream scoopers, dog net for car, kitchen utensils (whisk's) and the flowers. On the other hand 3 items were good...bed pillows, bowl set and the dog toys. Look at my record and see everything that purchased. Other than these 3 things all the rest were junk.
merchandise not ordered & a return
I to have purchased items from them & then twice they sent me items I did not order. I called the first time & they said if I sent it back I would have to pay the shipping so instead of paying the shipping I kept the order. The second time I argued with the customer service rep & told her I have ordered many a times from them & if I said I did not order...
Read full review of Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com and 16 commentsSent me a refurbashed computer that did not have what was promised in add.
Publisher Clearing House sent me checks stating that I won these checks to purchase certain Items. I chose the computer. Sent them a check for $350.00. The computer came in two different shipments. First the monitor then the drive, keyboard and mouse. The on/off button for the speakers was broke. Took the speakers apart and fix button. Cannot turn the monitor off using the button. If the on/off switch is used on monitor can't turn back on. Short in the button. Can only turn monitor off by turning the power off. Did not get Micorsoft word, Excell and other software. Picture showed software in CD's. No back up CD.
Talked to a local shop in town that sells refurbeshed computers. Could have purchased one for $250.00 with a flat screen and keyboard that does not lock up everytime you try to type anything.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
they (pch) indicate that no purchase is necessary yet when you try to close that page you get a pop-up stating if you do you will lose your chance to enter. Which is it ? no purchase necessary or lose your chance by not puchasing. I find this action extortion!Please explain
I ordered Maxium magazine from Publishers Clearing House on 2/18/2009 for the price of $9.00. I was sent a bill and paid it with a Money Gram with receipt #[protected] but still have not received the magazines or my money back. If you can help I sure would appriciate it. thank you Vernon Van Collie

is this real or is this some dream
My grandmother played publishers Clearing House when I was a child.And I told her I would make sure I, or some one in the family would play if she died.My grandmother is Dead now.So I played with my mother for many years, and now even my mother is dead.I am 52 years old and I still play publishing house.And no one has won big yet!.And now I guess I may die before any one will win big.Now I am asked to register for the 7, 000, 000. sweepstakes, to be given out thanksgiving.But for some reason the web site is down.I am 52 years old now.And I have watched my grandmother, my mother, and so many friend die.And yet no winners yet.PCH please let me know what is wrong.Every one in my family will be dead soon.That is a lot of years of playing, but on has ever been a winner.
Searched all 6 buttons...but PCH does NOT RECORD/CREDIT my searches...PITTYFUL !
No puedo creer que el vudú haya crecido hasta el límite cuando puedas usarlo para ganar la lotería. Vi un comentario en línea de un lanzador de hechizos llamado PRIEST AZIBA que me ayudó con un vudú que me hizo ganar la lotería powerball de $ 85.000 que también me dijo que si tuviera que ir por los millones que tendría que ganar también. Pero el problema era que sólo se puede usar el hechizo una vez, lo que significa que no hay segunda oportunidad para jugar dos veces, porque contra el vudú dijo por el hombre espiritual. Estaba tan agradecido por esto era algo que nunca creo que alguna vez va a trabajar, pero hoy pude pagar mis deudas. Es una obra asombrosa que este hombre está haciendo allá afuera y yo le aconsejo que mantenga el buen trabajo porque él es Dios enviado a la tierra para los pobres.

I HAVE EXCELLENT CREDIT AND NOW THEY HAVE TURNED ME INTO CREDIT COLLECTIONS.
i AM 84 AND WILL SPEND THE TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HOURS DAILY SOMETIMES 10 A DAY DEERVE BETTER THAN RUINING ONES CREDIT.
29 YEARS OF DOING THE SAME THING WITHOUT RESOLTS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Just got an email from pch - sending me an item I looked at but never ordered - they said - just send a check when you get it - ah no - I will refuse to take it - and I am not paying any return postage either - I returned their email and told them I did not order - waiting to get a response -
I receive much PCH sweepstakes letters always mentioning that I have NOT ordered before so try ordering now. I never had nor ever will place an order. Now I have received a bill for $36.69 for something I NEVER ordered NOR received. This outfit business is to SCAM.
I just got a call from Penn Credit trying to collect a $40 debt for unpaid magazine subscrition to Oprah Magazine. They claim I received the magazines from Publisher's Clearing House back in FEb 2009 at my previous house in Troy, MI which I sold in May 2005. They also called me under my previous name (since remarried for 5 yrs) and I am not sure how they got my new phone number.
I never ordered the magazines, and why would I have them delivered to my previous address anyways? How can I get them off my back? I am going to write them a letter to explain this, but what else can I do? Please help asap if you can.

I received a bill for magazines supposedly orderd and received at my address. I never ordered or received magazine from PCH or anyone else for that matter. I contact them using the 800# on the bill to let them know that I never order from PCH nor would I like to. They advised me that it was a website order from a 3rd party. I let them know that it was not me and have not received the magazines. 2 weeks later I start getting the magazines I told them I did not order and did not want. I call them again and let them know I do not want their magazines and that I already called to tell them the bill is not mine. The lady tells me that I can cancel at anytime just pay the bill and send back notification I want to cancel. I tell her again I am not paying the bill and to stop sending the magazines as they will not be paid for and I am not paying to ship them back. Needless to say I called 1 more time to no avail same pay the bill and cancel anytime for something I did not order. So I tossed the magazines. They were some dog magazine. I received a letter from a Penn Credit collections. I called them and let them know its a scam I will not be paying. They tell me that they will put it on my credit. I let them know that it was a web order from a 3rd party site that I did not place and good luck in trying to add it to my social since that would be missing information. Now I throw the collection letters away also. Avoid PCH at all costs and if someone orders it for you good luck.

pch claims that I placed order when submitting daily entry prizewinner confirmation
I logged onto the daily pch entry prizewinners competition. I confirmed my entry, as I have done many times. I then received a confirmation that I had placed an order with them for an electrical item. I wrote to pch and stated that I did not place an order with them. I was referred to this website by pch and have again e-mailed pch to reiterate the fact that I did not agree to place an order for any item.

I have been dealing with pch for months now. I entered the contest online and sometimes ordered items. then, I started getting items that I hd not ordered, although I was billed for them. I e-mailed that I had not ordered these and if they would send me a pre postage label, they would be returned. I was told that it is not their practice to pay return postage. I had already been charged postage when it was mailed. I then received another unordered item-same thing all over again. me writting and them saying I ordered upon entering contest. I had ordered an item and paid for it upon ordering, using a credit card. after all this other happened, I got a bill for the item I had paid for! now, they tell me (three times) that they did not receive the money and would I please send them my credit card statement. I told them no way and to leave me alone. I had already asked to be removed from all their mailings 4 times. today, I got another one, asking for my credit card statement. I checked twice and my credit card was paid to them on 7/07/08.
This company is the pits to deal with. sstill not settled.
I get three different mailings for the same drawing ocurring on the same date. Should I fill one of the mailings for one entry or should I send all three mailings for three entries. I was wondering if I was wasting my time mailing all three for one entry.
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH PCH FOR MONTHS NOW. I ENTERED THE CONTEST ONLINE AND SOMETIMES ORDERED ITEMS. THEN, I STARTED GETTING ITEMS THAT I HD NOT ORDERED, ALTHOUGH I WAS BILLED FOR THEM. I E-MAILED THAT I HAD NOT ORDERED THESE AND IF THEY WOULD SEND ME A PRE POSTAGE LABEL, THEY WOULD BE RETURNED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT THEIR PRACTICE TO PAY RETURN POSTAGE. I HAD ALREADY BEEN CHARGED POSTAGE WHEN IT WAS MAILED. I THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER UNORDERED ITEM-SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN.ME WRITTING AND THEM SAYING I ORDERED UPON ENTERING CONTEST. I HAD ORDERED AN ITEM AND PAID FOR IT UPON ORDERING, USING A CREDIT CARD. AFTER ALL THIS OTHER HAPPENED, I GOT A BILL FOR THE ITEM I HAD PAID FOR! NOW, THEY TELL ME (THREE TIMES) THAT THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE MONEY AND WOULD I PLEASE SEND THEM MY CREDIT CARD STATEMENT. I TOLD THEM NO WAY AND TO LEAVE ME ALONE. I HAD ALREADY ASKED TO BE REMOVED FROM ALL THEIR MAILINGS 4 TIMES. TODAY, I GOT ANOTHER ONE, ASKING FOR MY CREDIT CARD STATEMENT. I CHECKED TWICE AND MY CREDIT CARD WAS PAID TO THEM ON 7/07/08.
THIS COMPANY IS THE PITS TO DEAL WITH. SSTILL NOT SETTLED.

I am pissed off, about your 5, 000 a week contest. I get almost finished and they shove a bunch of printing up, and they won't let,
me finish it. This happens on the 2nd part. They won't accept my entry. Why are they doing this?
"Your not supposed to have to buy every time to enter." fern51566@hotmail.com
I like to enter your sweepstakes but i am not into all the surveys i don't have the funds to pay for the gifts i eith
er enter without all that survey and wanting all the time or don't email me if i have to pay money
I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY - i ORDERED AND FILLED OUT AND DID EVERYSINGLE STEP ANSWERED EVERY MAIL - I WAS TOLD THEY WERE COMING TO MY AREA AND CONVINCED. TO FIND OUT A LADY IN NJ FINALLY WON - YOU TALK ABOUT BEING PISSED OFF.
ANYTHING ELSE I GET FROM THEM IS GOING IN THE GARBAGE!
