Several phone calls claimed I won PCH, and asked for a procesing fee of under $300.00
Don’t Fall for the Fake Prize Call!
Summary — +12405979640
Expert Opinion
Yesterday evening my inbox filled with reports of calls from +12405979640 claiming a PCH prize and demanding a $300 processing fee. The pattern matches classic lottery scam tactics: unsolicited win notifications, urgent payment requests, and pressure to act fast. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately and do not share personal or financial information. Verify any alleged winnings directly with the official organization using known contact details, not the number that called you. Consider blocking the number and reporting it to your carrier or the FTC. Stay skeptical of any unsolicited offers that require money up front.
