conectivity

Hi, for two days now I have been trying to access your last two emails concerning my last day to search so I can win the $10,000,000. prize or the 3148 drawing for $5,000 a week for life, or the $25,000. It will not let me sign on as when I do and hit the continue button as I have been doing for years, it simply states error 500. I have cleaned all my catches and have even tried to download the smart pc fixer to no avail.. I tried the strait download and the mirror but it will not download. I would like a phone number I can talk to a real person so as to resolve this problem before my time runs out. It states that today is my last day to enter for the chances to win the above prizes. My name is Larry Brumett and I have been a member for years.....I us the address [email protected]. Please respond asap as I don't seem to be able to fix the problem. Respectfully, Larry

It stated on November 12,2014 I won $25,000.00 have not received it.

On November 12,2014 going towards evening I was searching in the PCH search engine to win the $25,000.00.
$25,000.00 PCH GWY.NO.3816
While I was searching on different websites I got a pop up stating CONGRATULATIONS LINDA YOU WON! "something like that" all completely red in the background stating also PCH team will at my door to deliver my check on November 17,2014. I waited for that day and it never happened. Waited not too long after that, left a message on Debra Holland PCH BLOG, TELLING HER WHAT I JUST STATED TO THIS COMPLAINT A DAY LATER, ON MY FACEBOOK THE PCH TEAM APOLOGIZING STATING THEY MAKE mistakes too in a indirect way. so I figured to wait. still no winnings and also I received a emailed about a month ago from PCH stating the person that won $25,000.00 would win the $10,000.00 A WEEK FOR LIFE PCH GWY.NO.4900.

Reality Check

For all you people above who claim you never ordered a product from PCH (and yet a product mysteriously appeared on your doorstep) the fact of the matter is you did order this product. You clicked where you should not have. Stop clicking on those products if you do not want to order them you stupid ignorant people!

You are never going to win at this PCH lottery "game". Just click the X in the upper right hand corner of your browser window.

Now, was that so hard?

Same happen to me.

It funny that I got a statement with the bill on the e-mail,saying that I order this stuff which I wasn't aware,so I try to call customer service on Saturday night.There was a answering system,saying ,"Please call on Wednesday,because there will be a HIGH VOLUME of calls on Monday and Tuesday" Can you believe that ? Next thing you will know,the package wil be at my door ! I want to stop the shipment before it too late. I call Monday,the nice man from PCH on the call said to me,if the package is already there,KEEP IT! I recorded on tape! I check the tracking system from FEDEX and the LOCAL postal service,it will be DELIVER on FRIDAY 1:06 PM ,well it 1:06 with my live close circuit camera"ON" wth a monitor in front of me with the computer next to me playing the PCH games,there the person came down from the postal service and way back of my yard there a man putting up the camping tent After finishing playing the games,I went to the back door, package was MISSING,STOLEN! WHAT GOiNG ON???
I callled ,he said keep it. I called MY CITY LOCAL POST OFFICE,HE SAID,WELL IT STOLEN. After all the packages that I got from PCH,it did not happen ,but when there package that i didn't order,it STOLEN! This don't make sense! Did they read my e-mails at the postal service?Is this part of the NSA listen to my calls? I think it a SETUP! Even at the ATM,they locked me out on the same week! SOUND CRAZY? I hope they won't bill me or it a scam between the post office and PCH.

Publishers Clearing House

The time has come to destroy PCH. They lie. They cheat. They waste our time.
How can we get together?
What can we do to either get PCH to pay out some prizes or get them to close?

product and scam

PCH is a double scam. The products are junk and over priced once you get hit with a ridiculous shipping cost.They say they are in Port Washington ,NY. I went looking for an office and could not find it. Now that is a scam. No winner except for some homeless looking people. those are payoffs.

pch 'superfan'

the new suck -u-in token game (to win what? -oh a 'chance' to buy a win to win nothing)something() is the "superfan) scratch offs. for the first week a minimum on 1,000 tokens, as of today an amount back to their crappy win of 100 token. The whole site is a joke, just a means of wasting time. I once knew a woman who would dress up, do her hair and wait, ALL DAY because she got a letter in the mail saying she won. Good thing she didnt use the new she would have driven all the residents mad waiting to get on the net because, she was going to win, the COMPUTER told her so.

These people really suck, real people dont win, just people they pay off to act on tv! must be I've never known anyone who won even 5 lousy bucks!!

PCH Lies

I have been entering PCH sweepstakes and playing their stupid crooked games for years. Nothing is really random. But recently I “won" a total of $640.00 on one of the match games. Did they pay? No they claimed an error in their system. Never an error when nothing is won. They pay out when they feel like it. It's a scam like any other scam. If anyone has had a similar experience and would like to join me in a class action suit please reply here. I have already contacted my attorney.

constant web site problems & no wins

I have been playing pch for three years and I think it is a rip off and only a comercial tool for advertisement.
I have played all kinds of games from lotto,slots,blackjack & bingo plus entered all kinds of sweepstakes online and I have not so much as won a $ 10.00 gift certificate.
Most of the time I cant even play due to pch website problems.
PCH needs to correct their website problems and have better odds for people who play everyday.

commercial and promises

My maiden name is Kathy Taylor and I see that on every commercial, I should be able to sue just over that. Also when I was on PCH Search my name popped up on the side and my city and state. It said I won movie tickets which I never recieved and when I sent a payment in the instant win card said I won $500.00 which I never saw. I read the fine print and it said it was legitimate. I have a lawyer, Morgan & Morgan. I hope I don't have to use him to sue you guys. You suck. The poor people never win.

Cookbooks

A month ago I found a box on my doorstep inside was cookbooks, but I never order any cookbooks but it said PCH on the letter, I thought it was free for the stuff I order online from Christmas as a gift to be their loyal consmer, so I think, inside the letter is an order sheet saying to order these books send a check ect to the PCH. I was every confused " send the money" but I already got the books why do I have to send the money that I already got the books, something isn't right, so I didn't send any money to the pay the books, and just the other day I got and overdue bill saying that I owe the books......now there a rumor there's a scam going on to get people to buy there crap to enter the cash reward,, if u receive a box with cookbooks inside.....keep it and tell those SOBs to stick where the sun don't shine.....

Having to search for a product to buy before I can enter

Actually, look at it this way how many are offering money free. Just your time. If you feel that your time is more valuable then use it in the matter that most satisfy you. Make yourself happy and be in control of that and if that doesn't work you won't have to search for the person to complain to. But if you have the time, do it, and move on make your pray to God and put it in his hand. NOW IT'S DONE . What's next. waltboli

Having to search for a product to buy before I can enter

pch is missleading, and if you buy something like i did, dooh. and send it back, (when your lucky enough to get an address to return a product to) they never admit to reciving it back, and damn if they dont ding your credit, with a negitive report.
DONT BE A FOOL LIKE ME AND BUY ANY PRODUCT THEY OFFER!!! NOT AN EASY RETURN, NO DISPUTE RESOLUTION!!! NOTTA!! NOT TO MENTION THE PRODUCT I RECIVED WAS WORSE THAN USELESS (IT RUINED MY CLOTHING). NOT COOL!! SCAM SCAM SCAM I SAY!! THEN THERES THE PHONY SWEEPSTAKE PRIZE. WHO WINS??? I HAVE YET TO HERE OR SEE ON T`V OR ANY MEDIA FOR THAT MATTER OF ANY HUMAM OR ANIMAL WINNING ANY ACTUAL PRIZE FROM PCH. EVER!!
TRERE SHOULD BE A LAW BANNING THESE TYPES OF SCAMS AND BOGUS OFFERS!!!
