Description
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.
