Received a photocopied letter from Publishers Clearing House announcing that I am a second place winner in the 100 Million Dollar Cash Giveaway Promotion sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions and Multi-State Lottery Association. Prize is $2,500,000. Other logos at the bottom were Walmart, JC Penny, and AG Insurance. Enclosed is a check of $9,700.25 to cover insurance and attorney fees. Told to contact Claims Manager without any delay BEFORE depositing check and to keep this strictly confidential 'as required by law'. Signed by Richie Jenkins CFO PCH SECURITY CODE - CODE - PCH- V0523-WIN This is the second time I have gotten such a letter within the past year or so. I almost fell for this scam before. Fortunately I realized it before I lost any money. I have been a loyal customer of PCH for many years but I will never order anything from them again unless they stop scammers from using their name.
