    I remember couple of years ago, I came close to falling for this scam. Someone sent me a 3k paycheck from so-called publishers clearing house on the mail then told me to call the when I receive the check. Well, I called them but the person who answered the phone sound very suspicious to me. He sounded like Jamaican or African to me me and gave me some shady instructions on what to do with this check. After I hung up, I had literally a gut feeling that something just didn't sound right to me and rubbed me the very wrong way about this. And after coming to a conclusion, I ended up using this phoney check to use it for my bird's cages to do their business on and just called it a day. Thank God I didn't fall for this.😄😄😄

      My name's Andrew Lee Jennings. They say I have one of those and clear nails. Maybe a what time is it? Currently has laundry in 2018. But I think I won in 2023. I'm not for sure some kind of sweepstakes. It's got to say with a Facebook experience and a Samsung experience. But I've never seen no money from it. It says that I've got a Google company since 1999 the ver. The veteran versions goes back to 99 a Gavin Google products. I don't understand I've never profited anything from it. I say I've got Bitcoin. But I don't know how to use it someone please help me

    This scam is worse than you think! My dad got caught up in it last year. The scammers will change the phone number so no one can get through. There were 8 different phone numbers in a matter of 15 days. I was there to help change the number to a local company, and make sure there were checks in place so it couldn't be changed by any other party.
    We actually called the Walmart and Walgreens in town to tell them to not sell gift cards to my dad and stepmom. It worked. To this day, there have been several attempts to change their address for receiving their SSI. That's the scammers still trying! Trying to tell my dad he didn't win, or it was a scam, didn't bother him. He was promised the same car. They always wanted more money. The phone rang non stop all day. He'd pick the phone up to make a call, and someone would be there, listening. It's bad!

    If only you could pinpoint the exact Vile Asshat that preys upon our senior citizens. ... and then give the victim's Grandson about 5 minutes alone with the POS, maybe these scams would slow down?
    Problem is, it's almost impossible to trace these scams to a single person. And if you were lucky enough to break thru all the channels of protection they hide behind, you'd likely learn that culprit isn't even in the same Continent, nevermind Country.
    It's so scary how they can manipulate the innocent so easily.

She kept going for the scams and hiding it all - because she KNEW it was all fake, but wanted it to be true. Her recently deceased husband had kept her from these scams her whole life, but after that....well, she WON'T be stopped.

That address belongs to a previous victim of this same scam who is acting as a mule to recover the money they had lost knowing they are helping the scammer steal more from other victims. I have called the police, the FBI and anyone else I can and the USA will do NOTHTING to stop this. I call up scammers to waste their time (scambaiting) and I'll tell you this: if I play around with such a scammer and send magazine clipping instead of cash to the address the Scammer has Jamaican people living in the country who who go to the mule and bash their brains out for lying. It's very sad: but the authorities cannot do a thing about it. Turning victims into partner / mules.

    Publishers clearing house is at your door. Keep back 6 feet though. That won't work 🤔

    That's the reason I've stop playing because you have to stay ordering and keep getting the same package over and over but why do they choose the winner in the other states but my question is where is all the money coming from

    Scammers always comes to Elderly. Why PCH didn't do anything to avoid Scammers.?? I only understand that if you won the price, pCH will stand in front at your door. If you wasn't at hone, they will come back. Thanks
