I got the sweepstakes letter to win $1.1 mil. just call the 1800 number and NO PURCHASE nessessary to enter.

So I call and wasted 10 minutes explaining to these *** that I DO NOT want any magazines I just want to enter in the sweepstakes. The woman kept giving me names of magazines and saying "pick 2" then I said " NO I do not want any magazines I just want to enter for the prize" then I was told " we have allure ,teen vogue, cosmo, good house keeping, rolling stones, pick 2" I got so pissed that I said forget it I dont want ANYTHING and hung up!

What a waste of time! They will NOT enroll you for the sweepstakes unless you buy a magazine and that is fraud to me when their letter says you dont have to buy anything!!!!

Did they stop the subscription and cancel your order. They woman told me that they would cancel my subscription today so I hope they do, I did tell her I cancelled my credit card.

Guest

i received a letter but after reading about the scam do not think i will reply thanks for the info.

Guest

Not As promised high pressure sales clearing house to gather personal information names addresses and phone numbers, and any other data possible. Never could possibly verify the organization

Guest

Yes, I agree with the sentiments of the previous review. Whether or not they actually make enough money thru their promotions to sponsor a sweepstakes with that kind of prize money; I don;t know.

I've never read of anyone winning a legitimate prize through this agency. I do know that when I tried to enter the drawing a few years back, I was hounded by a very aggressive salesman who irritated me enough to just hang up and not enter the sweepstakes. I truly wonder about if any of these sweepstakes; including Publishers Clearing House are in fact legitimate, law abiding agencies.

If they were legitimate, they should notify not just the winners but the losers as well; to let them know the drawing has taken place and regretfully our number was not selected. This would go a long way toward establishing credibility with these agencies who I believe are mostly scams!

I also received same for $10,000 I will not waste my time.

Guest

I just received a letter to enter to win $45k, and was checking to see if it is a scam. Sound like it is to me, and they just want to sell magazines.

Guest

Guy didn’t mention buying anything to me. He just asked me how I would spend the money.

Then he mentioned a watch, I abruptly cut him off and said I’m only interested in the money. Then I just hung up

Guest

I KNEW they were crooks!

Guest

I agree that company is a pierce of garbage to put it mildly. I also tried to enroll for the sweepstakes and I was gven the same type of choices which I did not accept.

Guest

they speak English but don't hear English

I got the letter from National Magazine and went through the same hassle with the woman trying to get me to pick 2 magazines. refused to pick any magazines and just hung up on her. They are nothing more than a SCAM

Guest

I got same letter and they try to get you to subscribe,but maybe they just want your credit card number.I will not give that to anyone calling my home.They can go to *** ! Let's all call BBB and report them.

Guest

Publisher's Clearing House is the same thing, a SCAM as far as I am concerned. All they want you to do is purchase magazines, or some other item.

If the item price seems reasonable, wait till you get the bill. All their mail is asking for more purchases. SCAM artists for sure.

Am learning to go online on check on these fakes before doing anything. But, I do normally drop in garbage and don't open anymore.
