I receive emails to enter several different sweepstakes from PCH SEARCH & WIN AND PCH LOTTO ETC.

All they ask is thatone scroll thru pages and pages of offers with sometimes free shipping and handling. They also claim that one can win prizes everyday if you search via their site.They clearly state that ordering does not increase your chances to win. What actually happens after you submit your information to enter a sweepstake without ordering is that they take you in circles if you are not ordering and the system does not allow you to enter the sweepsteak. The system then asks you to update your information and after several attemps to update your name and address, the system does not recognize the edited information and continues to take you in circles.

Then is pulls up an error message that states if you exit the site, you have forfeited your chances to submit your entry into the sweepstake. However they have your information and send this information to other affiliated sites and they inturn solicite your services with a teaser supposed Sweepsteak as well.It's all a rip off. Try contacting the site and you get a recording that directs you to their online registration form which does exactly the same thing.....Don't bother... It's all a scam to get your information only...

#1 Consumer Suggestion

Publishers Clearing House

AUTHOR: Raquel - ()

I've have in the past placed orders with PCH and mailed in requests for a chance to win.  They made promises that I was the next one to win, because I had been such a long-time customer I would be next in line to win big. I made puchases, and played their stupid games, that PCH made it look like I was supposed to win something, but it never happened.  I was a customer for over a decade, and not once did I ever see, not even a penny, in winnings. The last staw was when I had made a purchase of three items, which I didn't remember ordering, because their orders would always arrive so late, and then the bill came so late that I was charged a very big late fee.  That was so shamful and that is my rubuttal.

Right-on! Tell the story of my own experiance with PCH

AUTHOR: Dennis45764 - (United States of America)

     I totally agree that PCH runs their quarry in circles before they kill them, I'd also like to ad that every time you fill out any personal information in their blanks you simply load their database with information that they sell to whom ever has the money to buy your info. Nearly every time you do this you will notice the volume of your email will increase as well because your info was just sold. on two occasions, I won $100.00 on PCH's "scratch and win and have yet to receive my winnings! Yes, I did notify PCH but never got a response from them. I personally believe that PCH is perpetrating a bigger SCAM than the infamous Nigerian 419 scam.

PCH Scam, I think not

AUTHOR: Lord - (United States of America)

I object to this article because this is a legitimate company that I respond to everyday, and yes they will direct you to areas to buy things, but they never ask me for my information about myself.  The way they are able to give away all this money is because they collect monies from advertisers that sell their products through Publishers Clearing House.  PCH is kind of a large marketing organization that represents these companies. 

I wish people would not always think that everyone big business is bad.  I don't think you would see a big TV network like NBC putting their neck on the line for a scam.
