On Wed, 8/27/08 Publisher Clearing House wrote that I own the money for Order103325233838 - DRIVING CAP. Sinc I not received it, I believe that some mistake occured with delivery.
order
I did not order anything from PCH. I tried e-mailing you and telling you that. I refused shipment of the item and mailed it back. I was very disappointed in PCH.

i search daily but never win anything big scam it seems
you cant register for cash prize
PCH says you do not have to order anything, went through the questions and said skip when they asked if I wanted accept any of their offers, got to eversave and still continued to say no, the website said that there was an error and then directed me to another window for eversave and there was no way to skip this, pch is a scam and someone needs to call them on this. They tell you that a purchase will not help you win, yet they expect you to participate even though you just want to win the money. Thats how this company gets your money. What a joke.
I agree with all of your texts.
I don' get my card number or PIN number to use my 25 00000 dollar on wonrewards.com
PCH with their crooked contest and garbage products that can be bought elsewhere
cheaper. The Feds should fine PCH millions of dollars for the tactics they use and unfair business practices
PCH products are crap anyway, you can buy the same products elsewhere much cheaper. PCH should be fined by the federal government for fraud and deception with their
contest and products!
why cant u refuse a feature partner offer if there is no skip button? then wen u go to previous page its what your have played. then the offers are the same ones over and over again
i have been doing this for about 10 years and now i think this is it i think it is a bunch of bs after all paid up no more so pch can got to he doulbel hocky stix
IF YOU HAVE EVER NOTICED - ONLY THOSE AROUND THE NY AND MICHIGAN AREA WIN THE SWEEPS.
Well I am not doing pch any more i entered every day for 6 months bought stuff off them and nothing I realize it is like the lottery but I am tired of wasting my money on something immpossiable.I am a single mom with 3 kids and only pplwho win are old women PCH IS A JOKE!
For MRSNUTTY: The time to think of your baby's sake is BEFORE you get pregnant!
I HAVE to win for my cat's sake!

For years now Publishers Clearing House emails me and through self entry I try to enter the 10,000,000 sweepstakes. They know that's what everybody justs wants to do. They email me endlessly about 5000 a week for life. But the thing is is that when you go to enter they have a progress meter on the top of the page, but it's goes to 7/8 of the way they pull up there endless ads and you click skip and it just loops with endless ads to no end. Your whole purpose investing that much time is for the sweeps that you never get into but their deceitful and down right lying ### state that no purchase necessary. How are they getting away with this for years. I'm not interested in buying anything from them.
false orders / unauthorized collections attempts!
This company sends material to the home, the invoice is worded to appear you owe the money, " please mail in this payment so we can send out your gift, the thing is the gift wasn't ordered." The payment is needed to send out the items most of the con is just that payment and many of the elderly just mail in the payments in order to keep the credit rating...
Read full review of Publishers Clearing House / PCH.com and 5 commentsharassing calls
Morning and evening calls from this company every 2 minutes for an hour for the last few weeks. It's always the same, if I answer the call it's dead air, if I return the call I get a voice recorded message "box is full". There is another website, whocalledus.com that has a list of complaints solely from this company. I registered them at donotcall.gov and will file a complaint after the grace period if the calls don't stop. I will also follow the lead on this page regarding the Florida listing and report them to the Attorney Generals office.
I completely agree that this is a SCAM. I have no idea how they got my cell phone number a few months ago. They fed me beautifully coated lies that I'd be charged $59.80 the 25th of each month until the full amount was paid off and I'd have 5 years worth of magazines. I fell for it, thinking 'Okay, I'll get five years worth of reading for less than a grand and to top it off I'll get a nice Geneva watch (which they told me I would also get).'
The company didn't charge me on the 25th but about a week after. I thought 'That's fine since it's the first payment.' Then about two weeks later I was charged $59.80. I thought something's wrong here, but I decided to let it run for a few more weeks. As I thought i got charged $59.80 the following week along with an amount of thirty something dollars. I called them up right away and disputed the thirty-odd dollars. They said that they couldn't return that amount because it was through a different company. I understood, but the next day I had $59.80 returned to me, but just to have it taken back out along with another $59.80 the next week. I said that's enough and called my bank and told then the situation. I got only about $120 back from the company, not as much as they took out, but something. I cancelled my card, and attempted to contact the company on the number they provided me with. To my astonishment when I called, I got a message that said "No one can answer your call at the moment, please call again later." I tried calling back for TWO AND A HALF HOURS when I gave up and said screw it. I'm getting mail from them now saying that I have a balance due of so and so. I'm trying to get this settled out, if someone could inform me of whom to contact to resolve this, it would be much appreciated.
I also fell victim to this scam, they said they would take 59.80 out of my account on or around the 25th of the month, its 2 months they have taken 5 payments already, I cancel my account so they can't get anymore, after they took the 2nd payment I called them and the woman who I tried to talk to was very rude, when I tried to talk she would talk over me till I finally screamed at her then she hung up on me. I'm sure I'll be hearing from them when they realize they can't steal anymore money from me! can't wait for the call, I will do everything I can to bust them
My boyfriend actually did fall for this scam, and signed up with these people. IT IS COMPLETELY FALSE! He received 3 magazines total and they have taken almost $100 out of his account.
Thankfully he switched accounts to where he has no more money in the account that they know about, but every month they attempt to take out $71 dollars. They call and harass him for not paying, and when he told them he did not have the money to continue to pay them, they were actually MEAN to him, telling him how now that he has an attitude with them, they are not going to give him a break. He put me down as a reference and they are calling me now, harassing me! I called back to complain and then woman helping me told me to hold while she figured out the problem and then hung up on me! Unbelievable!
Take this as a warning PLEASE, if "Publisher's sweepstakes" calls you, IT IS A SCAM, please do not fall for it the way we did. You type in the name of this supposed magazine company on the internet, they are no where to be found, their number is not listed, and the BBB has never heard of them.
Sweepstakes fraud
I have been sending complaints to Publisher's Clearing House for many days now and have also filed a complaint with the better business bureau. PCH continues to send me e-mails for Sweepstakes submission that state 'no purchase necessary' and every day I receive e-mails that require that I submit before a deadline to be eligible and then deny my ability to submit without making a purchase selection. Any way you look at this, that is FRAUD. You don't tell a consumer that they can participate without purchase and then take away their eligibility every day by denying the ability to submit without making a purchase. I will continue to purse this matter as you have robbed me of my 'opportunity' to participate in your sweepstakes by sending me e-mail that must be submitted to quality and then denying me the option to submit without making a purchase. You can never give me the opportunities back that you have taken away daily. PCH has never replied to my complaints!
Yea I am a member, and you always see on tv that they show up at people's houses, but they really are probably just actors. I am unsubscribing with them because I think it is just a stupid game, and oh it just so happened that the month I joined, the winner was going to be from maryland, yet there website says we have no idea who or where the winner will come from because it is totally random? ha they are fake.
I have been playing the Publishers Sweepstakes contest for about 7 years now in which they always make it appear I'm on the verge of winning.At times it even sounded like I won a substantial amount of money only to realize I was mislead or misunderstood because the wording was tricky. I am now officially tired of playing their games and will no longer do business with them or play their contests. And I wonder, has anyone actually ever won anything from them? I somehow doubt it.
I have been receiving phone calls from several phone numbers [protected] and1-[protected] saying Congratulations! you've3 won 5.5 MILLION DOLLARS, from Publishers Clearing House! Please call the above number and ask for Mark Johnson to confirm your address so we can send the courier over and you can claim your prize! However you'll have to pay a fee before we can process your prize!They are very insistent I call the number, right now, and I mean ASAP!
I contacted the local Police department Fraud unit and they informed me there are so many scams out there they cannot prosecute them as these people are very slippery and there is not enough hours in the day to take them all out.There is no defense except to hang up when these IDIOTS CALL! Just do it, save yourself a lot of aggravation and certainly a lot of your money from getting ripped off by these scammers! Remember there is NO FREE LUNCH!v HAD< NEVER WAS! I hope this he tget ripped off! Thanks!
received a package I never ordered!
I want to complain about the package I received from Publishers Clearing House - # [protected] - I did not order this. I do not want this and I do not want to pay postage to send this back. I will never order from Publishers Clearing House again if I am going to be sent packages that I did not order. Beware people!

This concerns order # [protected] 2 05468. This happened to me also. In June, I was told I ordered greeting cards WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. When I made payment for jelly beans that I DID order, they applied part of the payment to payment of the cards. I called, and also sent a letter telling them that I never received the cards and that I wasn't going to pay for them. Lo and behold, today (Nov. 14th) I received a pkg of greeting cards in the mail. I DON'T WANT THEM, I REFUSE TO BE CHARGED FOR THEM AND I WANT INSTRUCTIONS ON THEIR RETURN AND CANCELLING THE CHARGE FROM MY ACCOUNT. i also want my name and account closed and removed from your mailing list.
