My 69 y/o mother was targeted by a group claiming to be PCH. She believed it because it's a reputable company. They got thousands of dollars from her, under the guise that she had to spend money to get her "winnings". Do not fall for this. PCH has a legitimate website & way to see if you are actually a winner, or a potential victim.

A man, identified himself as Peter Washington, called me on my cell phone. He said he was from Publishers Clearinghouse. He asked if I'd ever entered the company's sweestakes. I replied "Years ago." He said those data bases are still being used to select winners. He said I had won $2.5 million, $5,000 a week for the rest of my life and a Mercedes car. I told him I thought the company had filed for bankruptcy which he vehemently denied. He asked me a few questions, which required Yes or No answers. I became suspicious, asked him name again and said I was reporting this phone call. NO email or other mode of communication was used.

On May 8th I received a phone call from someone whose name was John Davis, claiming to be with the International Lottery Corporation, to advise me that I had won a prize with Readers Digest a long time ago and it had not been claimed. When I would not engage in further conversation he said I could call 1-876-3166947 and speak to Kevin. I of course did not, instead I called BC Lottery Corporation, spoke to Matthew who said he would file my report to the fraud department. He advised me to contact antifraudcentre.ca. I went to the site and Norton advised me that it was a dangerous site and that I could continue if I accepted the risk. So - to the BBB!

These people are posing as a legitimate online social casino. Telling people they make a deposit they play games and will be able to win real money and cash out a maximum amount of $300 daily. Which this is a lie you deposit money with them you play you win then you learn that you are only given an option to cash out $30 dollars they keep the remainder of your money and go about their days. They did this to me about 2-3 times my girlfriend 2-3 times and my gf brother 1-2. It's sickening how they lie make it sound like they are not scamming you tell you good luck next time and they're off to scam the next person they kept about $500.00 of my winnings about $900.00 of my girlfriends winnings and $350.00 of her brothers winnings
