I keep getting friend requests & private messages from scammers on Facebook.

A scam is a situation where you were contacted by someone claiming to represent Publishers Clearing House, or claiming to be a PCH employee and maybe were asked to send or wire money, send a pre-paid gift card or a Green Dot MoneyPak card, or cash a check and send a portion back to them as payment for any reason to claim a Sweepstakes prize.

Remember PCH never calls customers nor winners to tell them they have won.
