PCH SCAM ?

Received a phone message saying that I had won $2.5M and a Lincoln Navigator and gave a number to call in Colorado to receive my prizes. Was told that since the amount was over $250,000, I would have to pay a $499 registration fee and sent me to several businesses to buy a $500 money order before releasing my prizes. Did receive an email from something called Manufacturers Global Promotion and the guy on the phone told me PCH reps were on their way here with the goodies but they are stuck in some terrible weather we're having today. My inner voice thinks it's a scam to get my $500 but part of me is hoping it's not. Any ideas, experience, or knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

Basically, a person on fb representing this company reached out to me wanting to “send” me a “free” wig to review. Upon further conversation she said I’d have to purchase the wig off of Amazon then she’d refund me through PayPal. This is a common scam used to entice people into giving brands 5 star Amazon reviews without alerting Amazon’s review vetting system by only allowing “verified purchasers” to review. She might’ve actually given me the refund but it would be an inauthentic review and thus breaking Amazon’s review system and possibly encouraging people to purchase a bad quality product. I was interested thinking it was a brand ambassador position until I realized what sort of scam it was.

I ordered 3 items from this site back in January and paid $25.44. I have sent numerous emails to them and have not received any response at all.

The only thing the initial email says is that "It will be shipped ASAP"

They posted a link on YouTube to watch a baseball game. The trial was $1 dollar but it didn't work. They charge you money after a 1 day trial period. The link doesn't work so we can't cancel subscription and you get charged whatever amount of money they want.

Received a phone call asking if I got a card in the mail saying I won something. I said no and they told me I won 1 million dollars. They claimed they needed more info and would get back to me. I know they're going to call back and ask for money but I wanted to report it.

All of a sudden, out of the blue so-to-speak, I began getting dozens of popup advertisements. And then, right after, a large ad appeared from Total Adblock promising to block all ads for only $29.00 per year. I thought that that sounded reasonable and subscribed using my United credit card. Shortly United (called/sent an email?) and asked if I had, Indeed, ordered the service. And since the popup ads had ceased right away, I said yes, not suspicioning anything. But the next day I was billed by Total Adblock for a $39.00 upgrade, for which I did not apply. Then another $29.00 and a couple of days later two (2) more upgrades for $39.00 each. Meanwhile we called United and they caught the last $39.00 and stoped it. So we called Total Adblock and demanded all our money back. The young girl who could barely speak English said they would do as we requested. However, she sid it would take a few weeks!? We, then, contacted United and told them what the little girl said. United said they would give Total Adblock 10 days to make good on their promise. After that!? Thank you! ****** ******* *** * *** *** ******** ** *****

I got online to play games for cash money. I saw ads that said I could make money by playing their games. I down loading about 8 games. Every game has ads to take you to another game to play to make money. The game I played the most was Lucky Devil Slots. I built up about $13000 of winnings in a matter of 2 weeks. When I went to cash out I was told that I had to spin 80 more times. After I spun the 80 times I was told I had to watch 20 ads. After I watched the ads I was told that the money would be deposited into my PayPal account in 3 days. After the 3 days was up the money was put in a queue that started around 3000 to 5000 stating that there were that many people waiting to be paid that were ahead of me. I watched the queue count down for several days. The closer the countdown got to zero it got slower. I was never paid but they pulled approximately $50 off my debit card. I was not aware they would do that without my approval.

This is a very easy trap in which one can find oneself as I did. I decided to enroll (complete application and set appointment for tsa pre check service. I went to the Web site but after filling out my name, dob, address, tel number and trying to make appointment, I noticed that it was odd that the site wanted me to pay $185 instead of the $78 I know it costs and that they wanted me to pay online when I recalled that TSA waited until you were seen and verified in person before taking the payment. I quickly got out of the site before doing any more harm. I looked around and found that these look alike TSA fake sites are all over the place. The TSA needs to do a better job of protecting the public.

I received an Amazon package with 2 bottles of Nature’s Bounty Zinc supplements that I didn’t order. It was addressed to me in my name. The package appears to legitimately be from Amazon. I reported it to Amazon as I found out this is a “brushing scam.” I had no idea this was even a thing.

Luxe + ACV Gummies- dietary supplement- they have online scam where you think it costs one-time $35/ purchase x 1 and all of a sudden its a $198 charge and a recurring one every month without any emailed receipt or company information. They say you can get a money back but there is no way of contacting the company. The product itself has zero manufacturer information, distribution or expiration date. There is not even a return address on the mailed package. This is an invisible company but they sure can charge your account every month!

They called and left a vm about a promotion and you can save 50% off. I decided to call and see what they say, they sounded a little legit but I doubt it. It was half off for two years and they would credit my account while my bill is $230. And I saw there was a credit on my account for $251. He said Target sponsoring the deal and I need $600 worth of Target gift cards and it will pay for the promotion and once I got the gift cards I need to call the billing dept. And also gave me a confirmation number. 8336738676 for further info about the promotion.

A phone call came in claiming to be student advisors for federal student debt relief. The said if I gave my information they would forgive my student debt. All I had to do was make 4 initial payments of $210 a month to start up the process of consolidation. Following those first four months I would pay $10 a month until my loan is forgiven. This happens Jan 2022 and I haven’t gotten any information, emails or phone calls and I have lost the phone number they called from.
