Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
On March 3rd, 2009 my husband received a check and letter mailed from Canada for $5,935 drawn on the Union Bank of California, 550 S Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90071. The certified check was supposedly drawn on the account of Ria and Envia, 2029 W 7th Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90057-4023. It was to "cover any outstanding fees that had not been paid by PCH directly." My husband was supposed to call Helen Baker at 1-888-333-0180 BEFORE cashing the check, a security code was included, plus the name of an IRS agent, Henry Cohen. The letter is signed by Christopher Porter, CFO of Publishers Clearing House. This is a similar hoax to others I found on this site, just with a few name and phone number variations. SO the scam is still going around, the check REALLY looks genuine, but the whole thing is bogus!

THE SCAMMERS ARE USING THE NAME ONLY. The REAL PUBLISHERS CLEARINGHOUSE WILL NOT SEND YOU A CHECK TO PAY TAXES OR FEES WITH THE REAL PUBLISHERS CLEARINGHOUSE WILL NOT DEMAND THAT YOU WIRE MONEY TO ANYONE ITS ILLEGAL TO DEMAND PAYEMENT TO RECEIVE WINNINGS - THERE ARE QUITE A FEW RED FLAGS - PAY ATTENTION
