I was contacted and asked to pay a fee to claim my prize. Was this PCH Digital?

No, this was not PCH Digital who contacted you.

It's important to stress that you did not hear from the real PCH Digital. PCH Digital or any legitimate sweepstakes would NEVER ask for money or personal financial information to claim a prize. You were contacted by an impostor fraudulently using our name.

We urge you to make sure you fully understand the identity of the contest sponsors as well as all the details and requirements before participating in any of these programs. If you believe you are a victim of a scam, please visit our Fraud Protection website.
