| Details / precisions | Received a letter and check from publishing clearing house stating winner of 2.5 million. Check was 7,700 dollars to cover expenses related to reward. The letter states contact two numbers to claim. The check is drawn on Bank of America and of course looks legit. So does the letter yet the “cfo” that signed does not seem to be on a list of corporate officers of PCH. Can not find any information about a fraud scheme with PCH being involved.

Hi EB,
PCH scams are actually very common! We have an article about them here: https://info.scamwatcher.com/encyclopedia/publishers-clearing-house/
Just as mentioned in the article, if you're contacted about winning but are asked to pay, it's immediately evident that it's a scam because winning real PCH rewards is always free.
