Attorney General Andy Beshear Warns of sweepstakes scam Sweepstakes imposters claiming to be from Publishers Clearing House calling Kentuckians asking for money Click on headline for complete story From the the office of KY Attorney General Andy Beshear FRANKFORT, KY (Mon 11 Jan 2016) - Winners of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes do not receive phone calls about their prizes. And Attorney General Andy Beshear wants to stress this fact as a safeguard to Kentucky seniors and consumers who are being inundated by imposters attempting to scam them out of their money. "Our office handles scams every day," Beshear said. "But what's frightening about this one is that scammers have taken the identity of one of the best-known sweepstakes in our generation, Publishers Clearing House." As Attorney General, Beshear is committed to protecting Kentucky families and seniors, and this commitment includes notifying consumers to prevent Kentuckians from falling for the scams in the first place. The Attorney General's Office of Consumer Protection has received numerous calls the last week from Kentucky consumers across the Commonwealth asking about the validity of the phone calls. Consumers have reported these calls are from Jamaica (876 area code), as well as other phone numbers with area codes within various states.
