Publishers Clearing House Agrees To Settlement


WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw's office and Publishers Clearing House, which runs a well-known sweepstakes, have reached an agreement in which Publishers Clearing House has agreed to revise a 2001 agreement reached with 33 states, including West Virginia, and the District of Columbia in which the Port Washington, N.Y.-based company agreed to refine its pitch to ensure that consumers don't think that buying merchandise will increase their chances of winning. PCH denies any liability or wrongdoing but agreed to greatly increase the number of consumers it surveys to make sure they understood that buying merchandise didn't increase their chances of winning. Publishers Clearing House also agreed to pay $3.5 million to reimburse the states for the cost of their investigation.
