I'm sick and tired of filling out Surveys and not being compensated for my time. These unethical bastards work as follows. I spend 30 to 55 minutes filling out the survey, then being informed that the "survey is closed. We are no longer accepting surveys." So, what this boils down to is that I'm getting screwed. The bastard survey company is receiving free labor and absolutely wasting my time. And contacting Publishers Clearing House is another exercise in futility. They won't answer to any complaints, further proof that they are not an honest, forthright company, but a den of cheating, disreputable, lying, bastards.
I downloaded the app today and played a couple of games. Said I won seven dollars and then my Apple app pops up in the seven dollars said deposit seven dollars. Well I checked my bank app to see if it actually deposited seven dollars and instead it withdrew seven dollars Calling my bank right now to report this as soon as it clears. People do not use this it is a scam. I don't care what anybody else says. It is a complete scam.
I have been playing for 5+ years in hopes of winning something. In fact have spent over 3 billion tokens in trying to win a stupid 50 dollar amazon gift card, but nothing. Complaining does not good to customer service, the overseas people could care less, their other part time job is doing fraud virus calls. I hope they go out of business. I am not playing anymore as of today...goodbye scammers!
I been with pch for a while and claiming my stuff until i had a question i called customer service got hung up on. Then called again the lady side step my question im dislike customer service not very friendly i m trying to figure out about the lotto i hit all the numbers but they wont tell me nothing there there starting be scandlist
Its either racist, or search engine scam, started when I was 19 years old I am now 59 years old. I truly believe this is some kind of scam, magazine, search or the company is racist
My mom is elderly and has been playing for 5 years now, she has a spare bedroom with all the stuff she has bought covering the whole bed. She keeps saying they'll be here any day now and she's on her phone constantly playing all the games. She just lost her house because she was expecting pch to come any day, she was behind on her property tax and had such faith in pch... it was ridiculous! Well they never came and her house I grew up in is gone.
It should be against the law to do this to people.
I use to have fun playing pch but not anymore. No one ever wins anything anymore and tokens are to hard to get. Bummer bye PCH
Right now I only rate pch a one star rating because of there propaganda BS. To try to get you to purchase somthing before you can get to the part of the site to submit entry to munch product advertising online for those only wanting to play the online sweepstakes and sumitt a entry my guess is there clue of where there heading is Idaho because the clue said the state bird is the color of there uniform wich is Blue unless there misleading and there are other states that have a bird that's the color Blue
Not a very good Buisness in overall always trying to sell you something and I get to many emails from them I have called them recently no to long ago and in the past to not to send me all these emails I could play by calling in my entry over the phone
I have been presented with many great bargains on the PCH Plus app. They are too good to be true. The latest one was shown to me at least a dozen times and said I could get a deluxe box set of karl Lagerfeld colored pencils for $39.99 plus tax. A dozen times, I thought this is a rip off. There is no way the price is this low but, they finally wore me down. I figured if it was a rip off I could just contact PCH and they would fix it because these people were advertising on their app. NOPE. I waited 2 months for my pencils to arrive and then checked the URL they gave me during checkout which went to a no longer existing site. I contacted PCH through their laborious and deliberately complicated help site. 2 days later, the response was that there are many different types of advertisers on the app and the particular advertiser I responded to was the kind that they don't monitor or endorse. WHAT? This means that if you donate to a charity on their side, or subscribe to something or buy a product on their app, it may or may not be legit. You will know if it is legit when you do or don't receive something for what you paid. If you don't receive something for what you paid, it's not legit, so please don't bother PCH. Yes, they let them rip you off, but tough luck. Maybe next time you pay for something on the PCH app you will be lucky enough to get what you paid for. The lesson is that buying something on the PCH app is similar to entering a PCH contest, you may or you may not win.
I revive emails saying instant wins, all it does direct me to real state to buy homes I wish for & I can't afford, to change auto insurance I am not interested in. Not true, no one wins. Of course this is a negative review I bet won't get posted
Fake...I feel so bad for dad. He has been playing for 23 years and only one 5 bucks. He keeps I'll keep trying, I'll probably be in my grave playing, he says. Lol...I'll try to convince to leave it alone and to stop wasting his time...
No one ever win black and young someone who could really make a difference with the founding like build safe havens for homeless in my home town or make a way for battered woman if I had a chance at pch I'd make it actually worth given the prize to a young driven to change our world and less fortunate world sum our system yet failing to accomplish after all their rules and restrictions to resources no homeless want to even get the help of the broken system if it ain't rules it's limits and hold backs
I once loved PCH. I got great deals on things. Now all that has changed. I got charged for things I didn't order. I received things I didn't order. I offered to return them if they would pay the postage. No response. Now they have collectors pestering me. I have concluded that PCH is not very honest.

I really enjoy the new PCH app, very good graphics and easy to use, they have better games this time around.
Ok my PCH story short version that girl that says you don't pay anything well she ask for me to spend money 300 dollars on a gift card so she can activated my prize
So spend money on something they say doesn't go to them but you send it to them
Ok now when you getting closer to getting your prize they want your information that's do one but i had a problem with that for one she wanted me to send a picture of my ssn card
Ya over the phone so i had a problem with that so you no what she did she sent me a picture of someone ssn card and i told her now that why i don't want to do that that is all they need to take e from you
So she got upset that wouldn't do that
I asked her to send me proof of who she is so maybe i would do that for her
So she sends me a picture of her she says i just did this in my office so i was ok then i got to thinking wait i seen that be so i looked back at pictures she. Sent me days ago geuss what there it was sane picture so she lied to me and when i called her out on that she got up
Then she said if i won't give that card to her she giving my prize to someone else and she quit me and block me from her
So watch out don't believe
They just got sued for doing this to people
So this is simply a narrative about something that occurred to me. I got a strange call from some unknown person claiming to be from PCH and asking why I hadn't responded to the PCH notification that had been mailed to me. "What was the address to which the notification was sent?" I inquired. He began to mention some numbers but asked me to wait as he looked up my phone number to identify the address linked with it. He returns after a minute or two and says he has no idea. "Then you're simply a horrible scammer," I said. How are you going to contact me if you don't even know what my name is or my address? He hung up, unsure of how to answer.
My name is Joanna Mita. I was told by Danielle Lam threw Facebook, followed me on Instagram claim I won money, and prize. Danielle Lam told me she is with holding my money and prize that I won. Danielle Lam said I have to pay a fee, and go get a Walmart gift card. Danielle Lam told me until I pay her the fee, Walmart gift card. She will come to my door step with my winnings. This is illegal and Fraud. I'm going to Sue Danielle Lam, and report PCH to the Better Business Bureau. For PCH to go out of Business. It's false advertising that we don't have to pay for our money, prizes.
PCH main objective is getting you to buy cheap merchandise under the disguise of making you a millionaire they even say they Love their customers. I am 70 years old - have ordered from them since my 20's 50 years now. The merchandise is super cheap. I have never won any money and I I don't understand don't know anyone who has ever won a cent. I don't understand how they are legally allowed to take advantage of people especially elderly.
I would like to see more often PCH giving a million dollar prize to someone in their 40s living in a $30,000 home. Instead of only upper middle class people. That makes me think the game is rigged much like the state lotteries. Always filtering the money to the upper class. Some people who only live on $12,000 a year should be winners at sometime.
Answer: Probably but we keep playing as the games do give us something to do. Wouldn't bet on a big win however.
Answer: Am I still in the running for PCH's $7,000.00 a week win Thanks hoping for good news. My computer was down for two days. Does this disqualify me
Answer: I know they keep changing the dates for winning and they say no purchase needed until the end with a notice to buy something and you will be on their list they should be accounted for to better business bureau and all the items are made in china this company must be owned by china I'm done with them
Answer: Oh this is big time scam. Like I said in my review we put to much time into this wack company that when see anything about money we think it's them. Nobody ever wins there special early look prizes unless it's a guaranteed giveaway.
Answer: Well, and just as I expected, the October 23 "special early look" did NOT result in the "mega prize" being awarded. Surprise, surprise! I saw that they immediately started advertising on TV their next "mega prize" (what is it now? $5000 a week for life? Bet they don't award that one, either!) Just a scam to drum up sales to weak-minded people who actually think they have a snowball's chance in you-know-where to win anything at odds of almost 2 billion to one. A total fraud!
Answer: I didn't know this but it makes sense as there is nothing to it but the same thing day after day. PCH has gone downhill with games, lately, as even the daily puzzles, now, just drag and are hard to move the pieces. Too many puzzles and probably too many people playing, Also same thing, every day and are only for fun to kill time with. Maybe, now, they are just not monitoring the sites to see their problems. Bingo, no great loss.
