You wanna talk about a scam than talk about health insurance

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

as I understand it if you're American you pretty much have to have it.

[@marylisamartin5144]

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!

[@zacharylee1995]

Yes I Agree with everything that you Just said

[@anthonylowder6687]

I just went through this on Facebook and personal information such as your email address, name, and living address, and phone number is pretty much pubic knowledge nowadays so I had no problem with that however when they ( meaning the CEO I talked to on the phone a guy by the name of David Sayer who sounds like someone who works at the local 7 Eleven or is a telemarketer) told me that in order to active my $5,000,000.00 winnings which includes a brand new truck I would have to send them a gift card of $200 I immediately blocked him and his associate Daniella Lams from my Facebook account and reported them so this proves that when something sounds too good to be true it definitely is!!!!

[@ernestgamez9794]

be careful everyone, watch out for the scammers.

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

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

[@maryprovencio763]

Well I do believe that people really do Win the PCH Sweepstakes it just take time and Patience and alot of prayers and faith so I really need to see it and now I've been waiting for a dream to come true and I truly have done all that I can do to Win and now it's up to you from the PCH Prize patrol to let me please see the winners list now right now I've been Trying so hard to Win for so long please let my name be on your list

[@susanbrissey2101]

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! 🤣 😂

[@ericmuhammed2859]

ThAnk You I got A call Yesterday saying that I won and that I had to pay the 1% fee which they said comes to 336 dollars I'm glad I talked with A old Army buddy who told Me upfront that it was A Scam and he told me to look up this documentary on KZbin I'm So Glad I did .

[@apostlerayharless5792]

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.

[@tsdz2008]

NO WAY, the land of freedom🤣

[@ktkat1949]

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.

Does pch ask u to get a apple card to be able to pay the delivery fee

[@masterzombie161]

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?

[@hervolinepearson6914]

Yes I received one of those letters. The check looks real.

[@jonathon5624]

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.

[@christiansgrandma6812]

I received an Instagram message the day of our last entry date in April 2022. Dianerlle face was on the profile. They stated I won the sweepstakes for thousands a week. They ask for your email address your mailing address and your driver's license. They stated they wanted me to pick up my money in person in California or they will send it by mail costing me a fee. I told them to come to my house or I can wait to catch a plan since I have family out there. They would not have it. Please be careful. I almost feel for it. I have reported this to PCH. They are very tricky and they know all about PCH, so watch yourself. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.

[@marylisamartin5144]

Get fired up! If the Blue check mark is not By the name please do not respond! PCH Is Free to play and does not charge and they will SURPRIZE YOU! PCH does good work for people... THESE SCAMMERS NEED TO BE STOPPED SO GET FIRED UP!!!!!

Yes, those scammer are still out there on facebook. When I say a few words they unfriend me and disappear.

[@hayrickfreeman1179]

I've gotten a couple calls, late night hours. Saying I'm a winner. I laughed and told them if I won, deliver it. Now I get a letter in mail that has mobile service advertising. I'm sadden to say I don't want to even enter to win.

[@terenataff1880]

I was also contacted about a government loan that if you don't have the money to pay it back that's OK and everyone in need is okayed Noone is turned down when you call back you are told you don't qualify for that but they can combine all your debt and reduce what you own then you can make smaller payments to pay them off faster but after they take the first payment they contact you and say sorry none of your bills are ones we work with but they keep taking your money because you signed up for thier help

[@Werewolf1982]
