NETTLETON, Miss. (WCBI) – Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley wants Publishers Clearing House to educate residents about how it operates.

Publishers Clearing House does not call winners and ask for money in order to receive the prize.

Presley says some victims in Mississippi have sent hundreds of thousands of dollars for the fake winnings.

“I’m calling on them to step up and speak out and help clear up any type of confusion out there. Senior citizens are the main targets of these scams and these folks are sitting in a foreign country trying to take advantage of our people. And too many times, victims fall prey because they don’t know better. Publishers Clearing House could help clear the air,” said Presley.

Presley has sent a letter to the company’s president asking him to help alert consumers of how their name is being used in scams.
