Don Dare , Publishers Clearing House, scammers are running rapid on Facebook...

[@user-kx1iu3bh6x]

I have dealt with these scams twice and called my local BBB and reported them.

[@user-fh7ly6ik6u]

I have been dealing with scammer for about 4weeks some body called me the morning and said his name was Tood S PCH and I got a phone number

[@marynjoroge9028]

Even I was conned 3 times I left PCH although I had been with it for 5 years

[@dongray2579]

Hello where are you from please provide a contact information

[@marynjoroge9028]

Am still okay only that my phone had lots of picking calls even sending not even any thing so am with you always commenting your good job.

[@judinecoyle3508]

I do not pick up for numbers unless I I know the people

[@user-ep7sq7zb5e]

3 different persons called. First one I hung up. 2nd one gave me a number to call. I didn't. They called back and asked why I didn't call. I hung up. 3rd and latest call came to me at 10:00pm saying I didn't sign my entry. Wanted me to go to Walmart buy $250.00 gift card for American Express. Called me 18 times next day which I never answered. This is so aggravating. 😮

[@pearliebullock2842]

I got a call this month, and this was my third call. The first call was in August if this year. I got so excited. I was supposed to meet someone the next day. So I up got dressed and ready to meet this person. He did no show up. A few months later, Another person called and told me that my contact person died in a very bad car accident 😐 🙃. And he was my new contact person. This time I called the BBB. They informed me it was a scam. I told the person when he called again. And he said that the BBB don't know everything. I would just have to miss out on my money. I recently got another call, from someone saying that they were a lawyer, for the PCH. I said huh. I ask him for his credentials. OMG 😲 his attitude went down south on me. He called me a means black woman. I told him unless you can see through the phone I was not a black woman. I said you sounded like a Chinese man are you Chinese? He said I will not say. I also told him if he asked me for my business credentials I could easily give it to him. He stated that I was upset and angry that someone has stolen my money. I said sir no one has stolen anything from me. But I still want you law credentials. Then he said I am not going to deal with you.I will have another member of my team to call you later. In the meal time I call PCH. Customer service. She informed me that I was scammed. And I gave her his information. And we laughed 😅 The so called lawyer did call back and I did not answer. Ty all so much for what you do Pearl

[@peggydunlap5376]

What is that outfit that newswoman is wearing? TgT green skirt and shirt.

[@LisaDye-nb6ic]

So what your saying is I've been playing this whole time on publishers clearing house site and for the last ten years I've been lied to that's why I have not won because I'm the last two days to play I get blocked every time for the last ten years of constant consecutively every single day for ten years I'm beginning to believe none of it is real I have had ten years to prove it oh and by the way I'm blocked at this very moment to continue playing for no reason so people if you do not know who people are personally it's most likely to be a scam and popular people and companies are no longer real to me
