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!

Guest

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.

I have searched your site to find where I should enter my activation code for the Forever prize to no avail. The final notice I received has a deadline of 2/24/21. Where do I enter it?

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?

Guest

My Activation Code is FC178. My account Number is 0134709****.

I have been a customer of PCH for over 35 years and have been waiting to win. So when can I expect you. I am getting tired of being disappointed. Please make me a winner.

All my debt worries would be solved. Please hurry and make me a winner.

Guest

My activation code is FC178. Won't allow me to enter it. Looks like it is time for me to ignore any future correspondence or entry blanks and all the products from PCH!!!

WOW, IT'S PRETTY BAD WHEN PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE HAS TO GET A RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST YOU TO KEEP YOU AWAY! YOU MUST HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS!

MOST PEOPLE SIMPLY THROW AWAY THEIR SWEEPSTAKES MAILINGS IN THE TRASH WITHOUT EVEN OPENING THEM UP, AND YOU'RE SHOWING UP AT THEIR COMPANY TRYING TO GET THEM TO GIVE YOU A JOB WORKING THERE. THEY CAIN'T HIRE YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT YOU WOULD EXPOSE THE WHOLE OPERATION AS BEING A SCAM!

Bill # 3074 14** **78

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

Recently, I receive an order that was made BEFORE Christmas. The particular items I ordered sold out and I was notified.

I figured that was that end of things. Then this box appears!

I do not want the items. I called to make arrangements to return the box. I was told since I did not receive what I ordered, to keep the items (1 was a "surprise" gift") and he (Mike-rep that I talked to) will send me an email canceling the amount due.

Mike said the email would come in a few minutes. That was 2 hours ago. I want to want to MAKE SURE that the bill has been

cancelled.

Let me know either way. Thank you.

I’m pissed off

After playing Publishers Clearing House for several years and earning a billion and a half tokens (whatever good those mysterious things are), they reduced my lotto games from 12-14 to 7, no Power Ball and recently threw up a block (sending me to the worthless App Store, which doesnt have any games that I like on there) and leaves me no way to exit out of it. So its all fun and games till someone puts an eye out.

Wish I could find some of those bastards and put an eye out.

Ive heard a lot of bad stuff about PCH, I just wanted to play the games and they screwed me. So after a billion and a half tokens see ya later, Im out Angry
