There were people in the past running a Publisher's Clearing House scam. They were not apart of PCH. They somehow got names and numbers of people, called them up, told them they won $450,000 and a new Chevrolet, and to wire them $499 by getting a money order from Walmart. That scam was reported to the Delaware Attorney General's office in 2015.

And now...

A man on Facebook was scammed out of $350 after getting a money order to send to a person that contacted him through Facebook. The person claimed Oscar won over $900k and he needed Oscar to send him $350 to claim the price. Lo and behold Facebook user Oscar was scammed. And now he tells his story on ABC news.
