Lottery Scam: Fake PCH - Publishers' Clearing House Sweepstakes
- 2-10-2010
- Categorized in: Lottery Scam
This report is about a fake email impersonating someone from PCH, an online lottery company. This does not imply the endorsement of the real company and their business. According to About.com, the odds of winning this lottery is 1-in-505 million, so unless you are an immortal, you would not live long to get the slightest chance of winning that $10million dollars. The chance of dying of cancer or in a car accident is probably much higher than winning this lottery. If you can't win a local state lottery, you can forget about this super-mega lottery.
Its hard to understand why anybody would get excited over such lottery online. Get into your car now, and drive to your nearest lotto outlet. Does that make you excited at all? Yes? It's been there for ages, and most people have not won a prize.
Attached is a fake lottery mail that is not sent by PCH. The word "fake lottery" is self-explanatory, so we will not waste your time to read unnecessary stuff from us.
