Games that pch sends us to play

I received several e mails to day to play lotto, and various other games. I have spent a lot of time trying to play them.

but there is always techinal difficulties or they are stuck and will not let me finish. The e mails you send are very positive that we are the elite group and will win a prize that night or soon. But the games will not let you finish. THis is always happening.

Even for the prizes to be given on 12 22 2017. How can someone that really wants to win and finish to show you we want to win, but your system does not let us finish.

I received several messages to day for games and lotto. I could not finish them because there was always a problem with technical difficulties or they got stuck and would not finish.

The e mails said that if we finished we would be eligible to win a prize for 75,000.00. Is this true. How can anyone win if we can't finish the game. I have been a loyal player for several years and it is time I won something.

I finish all the searches and games. This is not fair for players.

Typical example of work u did done for pch & they don't pay u for your service playing .free games is your reward according to them.i wonder what they do with our lotto numbers to increase their chances for winning for them

Played over 40 years never one a dime

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have played the Clearing house contests for over 40 years. Ended up with magazines, cheap over priced products,lots of wasted postage stamps and many bills with more added postage costs over the years. Yes I am a Publishers clearing house VIP SUCKER. Some of the token games are rigged for last place showing I play the on line token games and win worthless tokens by the millions. Never won any prizes there also/. The horse and car games are a rigged. They cheat you out of the worthless tokens , What are the odds of picking last place winner time after time? Once I got 5 place playing over a year.

all the time the agents are stealing peoples id s and getting credit make them pay us back and shut the scammers down

ANDREW GOLDBERG Andrew Goldberg is still at it. On 2/7/20 he notified me by phone that I had won the PCH sweepstakes - 8 million and 7,000 weekly for life.

All I needed to do was "instantly" get an Amazon gift car in the amount of $385 to pay the bar code fee. He talked to me for nearly 40 minutes. Before going any further, I checked out PCH and notified the fraud division. PCH is aware of scams.

I was told if he called back, to hang up immediately.

I was lucky to have time to check him out before spending any money! Sincerely, a retired librarian who was fooled once, but will not be fooled again!

Quit supporting these thieves

As long as people keep playing these stupid games and order their *** stuff they are going to continue to scam people. NO ONE EVER WINS THESE BIG PAY OFFS. More then likely those ones they show on TV are paid actors. They keep hooking you in saying you are a winner and then you open it up and they say do this and this and this...etc.... but you never win

Dropped by PCH because I ended up in a wrong category

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had been playing the PCH games and entering their giveaways for over 20+ years. Then one day I was told to watch for an envelope with a blue star on it to come in the mail.

When it came I filled it out right away, made an order and mailed it back. "SHOW US YOU WANT TO WIN" it said so I followed the directions to the letter and did everything that I was told to do (like I always did). Then I sent it back and waited and waited for my order to come but it NEVER came. So I called their customer service line to report a missing order and waited for another week or so when I got a text message from them informing me that I had been dropped from their mailings and I couldn't play or win their sweepstakes and that they had some agreement with the Attorney General of my State and that I had fallen into some category that gave them the right to deny me any further contact whatsoever.

I had entered their sweepstakes for years and bought their products and then they just dumped me even though they told me that I was one of their best customers. I was totally shocked and extremely disappointed with PCH and now I want nothing to do with their lies and their false and misleading agendas telling me that I could realize my dreams and Win !!!

They cheated me and ruined my dreams. I want other people to know that they shouldn't believe that they could win this sweepstakes so that their dreams aren't crushed by this bunch of scam artists...

Thanks for trying to warn the rest of us

This is very strange. What state is this?

I don't understand how they can tell you that you just flat out can't enter their sweepstakes. Weird weird weird.

Pay for Nothing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I just had to pay $91.81 for a supposedly delinquent amount for two orders. I do order some items from this company to use as little gifts BUT i never received them. To be honest i had forgotten about them. Now Publishers Clearinghouse has put a negative mark on my credit. I have no problem paying for purchases as long as i receive them. I am a frequent Amazon shopper and have Prime. Twice i did not receive the items i ordered from Amazon and both times, i called and they sent replacement items. I called Publishers Clearinghouse but since i wasn't ordering i was put on terminal hold and hung up on several times. I finally spoke to a customer service representative who verified my address and said it showed shipped to the correct address so it was not their problem. Wow really??? I went to several neighbors to see if my order may have shown up at their house, but who knows if they were honest i then tried to check with post office since i had the approximate delivery date. My postman told me that several people in our area have had the exact same complaint. Now i just paid almost $100 for NOTHING! I am unsubscribing from Publishers Clearinghouse and filing as many negative reviews as possible.

*** People who have jobs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Today I received two notices from PCH. One stated I owe them money for short bread cookies.

This bill was paid in full on 6/26/2017. They say it wasn't. I printed out the payment history from my bank showing it cleared. The second one showed a partial payment for a CD.

That was correct and told me what the remaining balance is. Then, after my third phone call and speaking to someone in Harlan Utah where they employ people who don't seem to grasp any accounting knowledge, he told me the original payment for the cookies was applied to the CD and I don't owe anything on the CD. They have two different account numbers listed on these invoices and I only have one account.

I'm not paying any more til they fix their error and appropriately use only one account number. Plus they spell my name 3 different way.

Yikes. If you have to make partial payments on cookies and a CD, I'd reevaluate your life decisions.

And, yeah, maybe you want those things, but neither are essential at all.

No one is asking you to give up water or oxygen. I think you can survive without your cookies or Justin Bieber CD!

SHOW ME THE MONEY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I played pch for years i was playing the scratch off game and won 3 times a thousand dollars I took pics and notified pch. They said it was a malfunction and that winners are notified by email and phone. A month later I was playing the slot game where u have just 1 spin . I won 5000 and then it was just gone. I took a pic of the game the next time it came up. Hoping maybe they could use it in court somehow. I have never won anything from them. How can such a big company like this get away with their unethical, dishonest ways.

The chances of being hit by a meteorite are are more likely than winning anything from PCH. I have seventy million tokens and not aloud to redeem. I don't buy Chinese junk. Why not sell American products. PCH always says an order is appreciated. I'll order when you let me win.
