Description

Mary Sides, (662-340-5543) badge #129775MS was calling from PCH and said I won 5.5 million dollars, a bonus of $5,000 a month for 2 years and a 2025 Mercedes-Benz. She gave me claim and package code numbers. I then spoke wih Dave Sayer, he emailed. me a copy of his NYS driver license and PCH ID card. He then gave me a confirmation code; asked if I wanted public, e.g. televised display or private. The reps would be at my house within 2 hours. After I refused to give banking and credit card info; Mary set me up with a company bank account at Auburn Bank. The account would be in my name and I should pay off my credit card. I called Auburn Bank to verify the account. Scam - too many numbers for the account and wrong routing number. I called Mary Sides back and relayed this info; she said I called the wrong branch and she would get back to me with the local number. Needless to say, I don't expect to receive a call from her or Dave Sayer (570 390-2740). I have made purchases from PCH for years and know or thought I knew about sweepstakes where people win big. This is a scam where you have to be vigilant.
