      I ordered a Civil War colorized coin set for $34.90 and got a FREE gift with it.My total bill was $57.29.Coins $34.90, $10.99 shipping, $4.71 tax for a total of $50.69 FREE gift $5.99 shipping and $.61 tax for a total of $6.60 Total of $57.29 My problem is that they shipped both items in the same container and charge me $16.98! They also taxed my FREE item for $.61?? How can you tax a free item? I wonder how many others have been charged tax for a free item. I don't even think that is legal.It cost more to ship the coins which weighted a lot less than the FREE gifts This is how they rip off their customers and make more money. Has anyone actually seen anyone receive all that money that they promise to award like $7000 a week for life?Of all the many years that I've been ordering items and entering sweepstakes I have only won once for $10. WOW!!I think that what they are doing with taxing FREE items might be illegal. If you go to Wal-Mart and buy an item, you expect to be taxed on that item. If however, you get something for FREE, how can any company tax you on a FREE item.Be careful and make sure you read the small print before ordering an item and might come with a FREE gift. It probably isn't FREE with the s/h and sales tax.

      If I could get by just giving a -0 I would These people about 10 years ago had me thinking I would Never get rid of them. Finally it got to the point that I had no more Publisher's Clearing House UNTIL today when I clicked P.c.h. by accident. I pray that I don't have any problems this time Anyway, these people are dreadful and if you don't want to be bothered don't check it. (the entry).

      So I mean you win if you win and ... lol. guess what??? If you dont win ,,,, you just dont win. Thats how chance worlks , you could spin years buying loto tickets and still not hit it big on prizes. At least at PCH you got some fun games and the PCH crew are always smiling or joking around somewhere on screen or on any of your game cards or whatever.. So , just keep at it and maybe you'll get a few bucks sometime. I've ran into a bit of hick up myself but its of my own doing ... I think. Later and good luck.

      Publishers Clearing House has these emails saying answer some questions and gain tokens which are worthless in value. But, my issue is this, upon answering the questions when I get to my retired status and age all of a sudden I am not qualified to go any further for prize or tokens offered. So I am guesing that the elderly are not someone they can scam or feel worthy of their fake prizes? Age discrimination isn't something that I would expect from a company of this nature, but I run into it every time I submit myself to their invasion of privacy and get rejected because I am not young and foolish to purchase their trinkets!!!

      Ran into my relatives giving me problems about using the alternatives to the *********** movement and had a few other preacher's trying to stake me out for favors while in college, so a huge number of companies got greedy and slandering and anticipated an election special that was helped put together by *** and *** to keep me from getting job interviews after my last round in community college, down in ************* we were able to catch ******************************** paying off a lot of people to train outside of the ****** of *********** officially.I don't think that my upcoming evaluation on BetterHelp, Psychology Today, and psychiatric status should impact the online draws. Turns out the independents are only using me online with personnel Ponzi schemes to get people hired by the ************************* of Scientologists. More like just reg for the coming *********************** Campaign, in a nut shell, also military folks, law enforcement, whoever has a clean slate with ***************************** and wants to get trained, can get auditing paid for. Pretty annoying that I have to take a blacklist redemption in order to scare books, welfare departments, so security companies in Sexually harassed and verbal assault told me not to collect my entries.I was also told that id I sued the church or anyone else, that I would get a blacklisted by several websites, newsmedia, including biological terrorism, and these companies like Securitas and Allied Universal Security are allowed to do that. RTC-Washoe, RTC-LasVegae tried to get me pressed on at the ************************ shelter in ********** **************** I've only been hit on by escorts for extortion, and bribery **** handed out immediately in **** too, but don't believe that religious comments, complaints and prank calls, messages thru the app are enough to disrupt the Better Business Bureau, probably not the *** and elections to come. It's pretty nasty that these religious agents like ************** and Infowars are caught.

      Hello to all. My name is ************** am Originally I am 75 years old and from **** capital of *******, an ******** citizen. I have been with Publishers Clearing House for more than 15 years. Do I win? NO! Before I used to order a lot and get good stuff. Now I order much less. My country is being bombed by Russians. Hurricane *** destroyed my two properties in *******. My husband died on 01/02/2023, but I still support my family and some people in my country. I Hope and Pray that the year **** brings all the World Peace and Joy. Happy New Year to everyone! Sincerely, ******

      I have been a customer of this company for many yrs! I ordered a oster cordless blender and they were out of stock,so instead of contacting me to ask if I wanted a substitute they just sent it. I did not want it so I sent it back that the post office and was charged *****. I called there customer service and talked to two different reps being the first one hung up on me! The second one after explaining said the do not refund p/h and did not even refer me to a supervisor that *** have given me a different outcome. This to me is very wrong that I have to pay s/h for there mistake and it is apparent they don't care about long time clients!

      I got a letter from PCH saying that I have won $750,000 Grand Prize. They included a check for $8,900.24 to cover out of pocket taxes, etc. BBB has not heard of this SCAM but said that PCH had many.

      My name is *******************. I am 75 years old Ukrainian American woman. I play PCH already for a long time, and I like PCH very much. I love the wonderful, colorful, original, fun and often funny design of all sweepstakes, games, which changes with each season. PCH has become my second family with whom I spend a lot of time. Every family has problems, minor misunderstandings, even quarrels. But when they are resolved with intelligence, understanding and goodwill, you forget about it.This is my opinion about hard working PCH team: ??????? ???, ??? ??????,??????? ??? ?? ?????????! ?? ??, ??? ?????? ????? ?????????? ???????...??????? ??? ?? ??????? ??????,?? ???, ??? ???? ???? ??????????.? ? ????? ??????? ? ?????? ????????? ???????.?? ??????, ??? ?? ?????? ??? ???????? ????????? ??????.??????? ???, ?????? ???!? ? ? ????? ????????? ?????. ??? ?????? ??? ?????? ? ?????? ???? ??? ? ???????, ??????? ???, ??? ??????, ?? ??, ??? ?? ?? ???? ?????! ========================Thank You, my friends,Thank You for understanding!Thank You for loving me. ?nd making my wishes come true.Thank You for the joy of meeting,For a dream that became a beautiful reality.And I can hold the happiness. Which was caught in the palm of my hand.Thank You for the miracles, that You Gave me with a magic word.Thank You, my friends!And I confess my love again!As the first time, I am catching.All Yours smiles and glances,Thank You, my friends,That You are in my side!

      I THINK THAT OVER THE MANY YEARS, THAT I HAVE RESPONDED TO THEIR INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE. WE GET HOOKED BY THE CHOICES AVAILABLE, AND THE **** TIME OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A FORTUNE, THAT WOULD BE A SURE BLESSING TO OUR MANY FINANCIAL WOES WE EXPERIENCE IN THIS COUNTRY. THE PROGRAMME GIVES US HOPE, AND WE ARE SUCKERED IN TO COMPLYING. i JUST THINK THAT THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST IN A BIT TOO HIGH.
