I, like millions of other people, signed up for the prizes PCH offers under the assumption it was FREE and you did not have to buy anything. This turned out to be false and I accepted my stupidity for believing them.
But then I started to get all kinds of charges on my debit card for items I NEVER ORDERED AND DID NOT WANT. I looked on line and found literally nundreds of people who found similar charges for items that they never ordered. Apparently they are selling credit card information to other entities to SCAM OLD PEOPLE like me.
