Evelyn Casey thought she’d hit the jackpot, but then she kept reading.
Casey provided VERIFY with a letter she received purporting to be from Publishers Clearing House. The letter, with a big check attached, promised an even bigger prize payout.
The letter said the $9,450 check was to “assist” with “taxes and processing fees” and was to be deposited only after calling a number provided to verify her bank information. Then she’d get the rest of her $800,000 prize.

I'm so glad senior citizens are becoming more skeptical about these prizes! Good 👍 for her! 😊

Publishing clearing house has always been a scam. My grandmother has been playing since 97. I am her 26-year-old granddaughter. She has never won anything but measly gifts like small purses books or coins. They don’t look to help anything because America is broke..

I have been playing PCH for 30 years and won $5 Amazon gift card one time. It's probably just to lure me into continuing to use their website.

Just got a phone call from someone claiming to be a delivery driver with Publishers Clearing house, and saying I needed to sign for a package. I hung up when he started telling me to take down a car model and license-plate, etc. Had I though better of it I might have written down the car's information to report to the police in my area in case they were actually driving my way. I imagine it was just a ploy to get me to prep a "tax payment" to receive money or something.

Got a call today before seeing this video or even hearing about this scam. The guy said I had won 2.5 million from PCH. I replied, what? He repeated himself. I laughed at him and hung up.

I received a test from messenger stating that I won 10million dollars, but I had to pay $250 for a delivery fee. This sounds like a scam to me.

😊 yes definitely a scam when they want you to pay them money before they give you your prize

@@user-ld6wn2ze5uDon't believe them! Scammers target vulnerable, trusting people, especially the elderly, many of whom are struggling right now just to make ends meet. I just turned 62 myself, and the scam calls are pouring in.

Taxes are ALWAYS deducted from cash prizes BEFORE you get your money. The gov't gets their cut FIRST. The value of non-cash prises is reported to the IRS and you should get a 1099-MISC from the sponsor. The IRS will be looking for that value on your 1040. Legitimate sponsors never charge any fee to winners. You can't win anything if you don't enter the contest. Cold notificatons about prize winning are always a scam. The goal is to get personal financial information from the "winner" without awarding any prize..
