Recently we've been hearing reports that scammers are accessing and using the names of our real PCH Digital employees in their criminal attempts to deceive you. Names you've come to know and recognize such as real members of our famous PCH Prize Patrol.
If you are ever contacted by someone claiming to represent PCH, or PCH Digital, or claiming to be one of our employees, and asked to send or wire money (for any reason whatsoever, including taxes); or send a pre-paid gift card or Green Dot Moneypak card in order to claim a sweepstakes prize — DON'T! It's a SCAM.
If you are sent a check, told it's a partial prize award, and asked to cash it and send a portion back to claim the full prize award, DON'T. The check is fake, but the SCAM is real! PCH Digital does not operate this way and would NEVER ask for money to claim a prize. PCH Digital employees would never contact you personally or in advance to notify you of a prize award. Our Prize is presented just the way you see it in our popular TV commercials, "live and in person" by our Prize Patrol, with balloons, bouquet of roses and check in hand — — and with no advance notification!
