Publisher's Clearing House each year offers products to purchase when you enter their Grand Prize drawing and I'm here to WARN everyone of thier PRODUCTS SCAM.

I ordered two advertised products oniine - 1) Sewing Needle Kit advertised as easy to thread needles 2) a stain remover that comes in a spray bottle gauranteed to spray with the bottle upside down and gauranteed to remove the toughest stains that other agants won't remove.

Fistly, this was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on anything! You place your order online and they say they will send an invoice in the mail for payment later. The products took a very long time to arrive. The sewing kit was a tiny travel size kit, the needles were dark and tarnished. The needle "wheel" that rotates would not move so I had to break open the plastic wheel to remove the needles, thus I no longer had a wheel to store the needles. I was unable to thread any of the needles. End result - PIECE OF WORTHLESS JUNK!

The Spray Stain Remover was advertised as being able to hold it in any direction, even upside-down and it would spray. I turned it upside-down and it leaked from the nozzle everywhere. I tested the stain remover on a variety of easy and tough stains. It worked no better than using plain water and did not remove ANY stains, not even dirt that my washing machine could easily have taken out. End result - PIECE OF WORTHLESS JUNK!

And it gets even better! The products had been opened and I waited weeks later to receive my first and only invoice. Not only did they change the advertised price of the products which they doubled but they added excessive shipping charges and one would think the shipping would have been expedited with those prices! But, get this, I got just the one invoice that said my account was delinquent and I must pay immediately to avoid collections (and further charges) and they added a LATE FEE to my invoice. I've never been so mad in my life and ripped-off! Of course there is no phone number to contact PCH or email to resolve any issues. 

Please, DO NOT fall for their scam! They overcharged me on the advetised product price and shipping charges, added a late fee and sent me products that were completely worthless! 

Please, please, just avoid Publishers Clearing House at all costs. Don't sign up for their prize drawing either. You will get bombarded by endless emails every day to reel you in to thier other scams. Everything they do and stand for is a rip-off.
