Description

We received the exact same letter in the mail that is listed before as a PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE scam in your file The letter had 3 phone numbers to call, one of which was the same as listed before. There also was a security code listed -PCH-77817-win l. I looked up the address on the check first to see if it was legit.. I saw the BBB scam alert for this company so we didn't call the number. There was no date on this letter. However, we did have a couple of phone calls (a couple of weeks ago) with messages left that were kinda of garbled but mentioned something about you winning a million dollars, and please call back. (So back to the letter) the date on the check is 2/10/2025. Check No: 60084. Top of the check BRIDGECREST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION ATTN: ACCOUNTS PAYABLE. And then their address. It has Wells Fargo Bank N.A. printed at the top. The amount on the check is $9950.25.. The signature looks like an abbreviated first letter and then a last name which is hard to make out.. The letter has Walmart, JCPenney, AG Insurance, ) Mega Millions and Readers Digest logo's printed on it. The letter also has a picture of a check with the check amount being $2,500,000.00. with publishers clearinhouse in the upper left corner. The letter states I won this amount. The actual check for $9950.25, the letter states, is to be used to cover insurance and attorney fees. Please contact your Claim Manager without any delay BEFORE depositing this check at your Financial Institution and for further information on this prize. The letter says the team at Publishers Clearing House is pleased to officially announce you as a second Place winner in the 100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion sponsored by Readers Digest, Mega Millions and Multi-State Lottery Association. We read the letter carefully and noticed some errors in their grammer. they also mentioned that as required by Federal and State laws, your security code and prize information must be kept strictly confidential which means you are precluded from discussing your win with third parties! This is to reduce risks of unauthorized access to your claims information. . These scammers are getting better at the letters their sending out trying to make them look legit. BE CAREFUL! IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!!!
