You wanna talk about a scam than talk about health insurance

be careful everyone, watch out for the scammers.

Long as people except something for nothing this will only get worse. Casinos would be bankrupt if giving away millions to strangers. GREED and easy money do not mix well.

its simple. if I dont recognize the number I dont pick up. they never leave a message and they never call back.

I just got an email from a friend telling me my name is listed as a big winner on PCH and have I got the money yet. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. But apparently, it is SOP. They may have tried to phone me but I don't answer phone calls from numbers I don't recognize. I may be a senior but I am NOT stupid. I feel sorry for people who fall for this.

If you don't answer the phone, no worries!

[jamesmcginn]

who the heck falls for this garbage ???

The love of money is the root of all evil

I just got a call from "Dave Sayer" from PCH saying I had won $7, 000 a week for life. He asked for an account number to deposit the payments . I asked why they didn't do the notification in person and he said due to covid restrictions they do it by phone! 🤣 😂

The FBI needs to step in and hunt these jokers down and make sure they are out in jail for a long time.
It's not right for these people to be scammed.

Remember everyone, PCH doesn’t contact big winners on social media and would never ask for money nor personal information. If a scammer contacts you contact PCH scam division or contact the Federal Trade Commission directly. Remember you are playing sweepstakes and they are free . Look up your sweepstakes laws and always KEEP THE FAITH and BELIEVE In THE POWER OF PCH!

I just received a text telling me my cell number had won $50, 000. All I had to do was call a certain number and give them my full name. Sounds like a scam to me.

[jerrybrazille]

I just now received that very same phone call, boy was I tempted, then came the money up front requirement. I ended the call.

[masterzombie]

I’ve read that they send a letter with a check and when you try to deposit it, it’ll bounce and you have to pay them back. Anyone have any info on that?

[vernacopeland]

And i was going to Walmart or Walgreens to get a money card to claim my winner
