Heads up, everyone — there's a PCH phone scam making the rounds right now and we want to make sure you and your loved ones are protected.
We've spoken with people this week who received calls from someone claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House — one even gave the name "Rob Snyder from PCH." These are scams.
The real Publishers Clearing House has been clear: they do NOT call people unexpectedly about prizes, and they NEVER ask for fees or payments to claim a prize. Big prizes ($1M+) are awarded in person by their famous Prize Patrol — not over the phone.
Two numbers to watch out for:
(689) 350-7452
(516) 585-0354
What to do if you get a call like this:
→ Hang up. Don't engage.
→ Never share money, banking info, or personal details.
→ Block the number.
→ Report it: reportfraud.ftc.gov
→ Check PCH's official fraud protection page: info.pch.com/fraud-protection
→ Verify directly with PCH: helpdesk.pch.com
We know how exciting it feels to think you might have won something — and that's exactly what scammers count on. Please share this so others can stay safe.
