Received a call from a person claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau today. He told me that he was inquiring why I hadn't responded to PCH cause I had won the grand prize. The caller sounded like he was from India. When I told him I do not subscribe to PCH contests he insisted that I had won a prize.l I firmly told him thanks but no thanks. I am glad i checked this site out becuase it obviously is a scam.

This caller from Jamaica claimed to be Stewart Bradley,who said he was calling about the $3.4 million dollar PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE prize I won.Didn't I get the paperwork? (uh,NO) He went on to give me another phone number he said was the PCH corporate office,to call & verify my win.I looked up the number,& it's another cellphone,area code was 702-a Nevada #. PCH's corporate HQ is in New York,though there are branches in Florida.NOTHING in Nevada.I didn't call.This is the 3rd time in as many weeks claiming I won over 3 mill,all from different sweeps I never entered (except PHC) The first call said I won the British Lottery,the 2nd was American Cash Awards-both required I pay to collect,from $750 to $2500,but the $2500 was to pay for the shipping of the Mercedes I won! THIS call said it wouldn't cost me anything.Sure.
None of the calls had a business title or a person's name show up on Caller ID.ALL mispronounced my name exactly the same way,adding my middle initial to my last name which starts with a vowel.
Rule # 1-If you have to pay,you didn't win.No legit sweeps require a fee.
I hope this saves other folks from scams...
