Pch I'd like to activate final step notice for $5,000.00

I've played for years received even delivery dates for several sweepstakes as of yet. I've returned paperwork as requested.

When you contact the number listed its a recording for a printshop in Kansas city ks. The recording has you leave your name and number and you never receive a call back. I'm sure this is nothing more then a scam. I've saved every correspondance received from vendors sent to my house regardless of who's name it happens to arrive in.

I'm the only online pch player in the household. There are many vendors involved in the online Version of Publishers Clearinghouse game apps. By playing the apps you receive great offers from company's worldwide. But I've hit a number of large prize amounts that lock your devise that your playing on.

Now i know for a fact. That they know when you hit something because a couple years ago i was playing the sweepstakes game and i played the 3 million dollor dream house sweepstake and i received a popup from one of their employees telling me i forced the winning ticket. Well that caught my attention after a long career in the gaming industry. Exspeically sence i was just told i cheated.

Well i decided this deserved some attention so I've been playing for a couple years know. And the sweepstakes that i played for the 3 million dream home was expired but the offer still remained available for play. Well this happens when the promotion is setup in the system with no experation date it will remain visibale to customers until a expiration date is put in. It's not the consumers fault when these types of errors happen we are all human and make mistakes.

But never is it ok to blame the customer for data entry errors. Because its clearly not a system error. As far as is Publishers Clearinghouse a scam no. It's compiled of a lot of hard working people and donations from big company's that care about people you and me.

I've spent two and a half years playing. As any video games on the market there mindboggling with lots of steps to reach the goal intended very intense mind puzzles. But there is an end that results in someone winning. The games monitary worth is prizes most with no actual cash value sort of speak.

But the sweepstakes are designed to have a top cash prize winner but only when you've completed all the steps. And there's so many scammers to confuse you. If you lose site of your goals or where your at in the game you can't win. with out completely the game it's impossible.

So my advise is to figure out who's intemidated by your progress and wants to distract you because there in it to win. So pch can you please activate my final step to win $5,000.00 a week forever prize turn back time 8800/8802/8035/10074/10078/8055/ see know i can't remember all the corresponding numbers and i have all the scammers on my fanny.

Patricia Poling trishpoling13@***.com or trishpoling10@***.com no scammers are going to steal my accounts. By the way i have two accounts because of scammer.

YOU ALREADY BE A WINNER!

I have only been playing PCH since Dec.2021. I did win a $10.00 check, of which I did receive.

Now, I won $400.00 in Jan. 2022, but I have yet to see this money. I have contacted PCH, customer service and sent 5 emails and no one has responded. The customer service rep.

did say that I won this money. I now have doubts that I will ever see this money. Yes, they say that you do not have to purchase anything to win, but they certainly intimidate you on the web site. I have noticed that on certain games there seems to be something wrong with my browser.

I fear that there is malware somehow coming in and infecting my computer. I no longer have a good feeling about winning anything and disappointed in PCH.

You probably just dialed the wrong number.

I I have been ordering though mail, I don't order online I have paid online but, it does not seem to be enough. The last two or three months I have brought more than I ever have.

So, don't keep asking me, after all this contest is not based on how much money that I spend. Are is that a lie?

Richard V Jlq

If you have a billion or so tokens, how best to apply them when redeeming for prizes? Use one very large chunk or do a whole lot of small amounts?

I am being told that I have won the money

Contains 3 confidential files for company representatives

Pch lottery got intouch with me through email and WhatsApp to tell about a price I won. I never entered such a thing to start and I questioned them they said I was chosen out of 10 ppl, I live in Ireland and they said they would send delivery driver over from the USA , So I contacted to say they had arrived with my money but before they could deliver they need me to buy them Apple cads unfortunately I did but apparently it was a bad card!

And asked to buy another one for 100 , they have been hassling me for months now!

They showed me of a photo with certificate with my winnings of $1million, and flight tickets for proof they flew in yesterday 14/9/2024 but when looked up fake tickets on line , I noticed the name Davidlovesjessica written on the ticket so I asked the driver through Zangi her name and she said Jessica and David a bit of a coincidence I thought, Unfortunately I've sent Apple cards totaling 2,000 since this all started. I have now blocked them !

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Still don't know yet if the scammers were caught or not.

They need to at least repay us poor individuals that help them out. Please do something.

Original review Jan 11, 2025

I believe your company has everything in place. I understand fully now that PCH never calls a winner but do it by surprise visits to your doorstep.

Very nice customer service explain everything I needed to know. Thanks for all your help.

I’m continuing to get scammer calls tell me I’m winning all kind of money

I received a phone call from Howie Guja telling me I had won the sweepstakes for Publishers Clearing House. I gave a total of $2050 just to find out a week later he's a scammer.

Later, I received a phone call from James Cooper, but I knew better than to give him any money.

Today, I received another phone call from a person called Thomas White, telling me I had won the sweepstakes yet again. I gave him no information.

Techicak issues with PCH+ spp

Publishers Clearing House - Techicak issues with PCH+ spp

The PCH+ app is not working. It claims networking issues.

I followed ALL of the posted suggestions, none of which worked. Then I called and had to go through them all again with the robo voice. I finally talked to a human.

He tried hard but was unable to find a solution and I have successfully done all he suggested. There is no way for me to access the app.

I ordered the leather tape on 7/28/24. The order number is 307456****52.

I sent it back about a month ago and dropped it off at the post office. Now, I am still being charged for the tape that was sent back.

Please make corrections to it, I don't owe anything on my PCH account. Thank you, Linda.

Original review updated Nov 28, 2024

Someone is telling me that I won 1.5 million and 980,000. Cash plus a 2024 bmw they say they are in Austin and they are about to deliver the stuff to me but before they will leave Austin to come to me, I have to go to the store and get a green dot card with $500 on it when they get here, I am supposed to show them my drivers license and the green dot card with the money on it Im a little skeptical.

When he called he asked if I got the card.

I told him that cvs was right down the road and when he brought the stuff and proved to me that it was mine, like my name on the title to the car he got pissed and called me a liar and a few other nasty names. He called a total it 47 times that day and called me every name in the book.

I've been offered $7.8 million plus a Mercedes Benz as a PCH winner. The caller said his name is Albert Waters.

Phone: (708) 312-****. He was prepared to deliver them today once I obtained a Visa Debit card for $450.

It would be refunded to me later. A partner is Diane Cramer, 15930 Elmira Street, Lansing, Michigan 48906.
