On December 31, 2025, the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina arrested Sabrina Johnson for her involvement in a PCH scam, whee:
- The scammers will call their victims under the guise of the Publisher’s Clearing House to falsely claim they had won $4 million and a new Mercedes-Benz.
- In order to claim their “prize,” the victims will be asked to cover “IRS and FDIC fees” in the form of checks and gift cards to out-of-state entities.
An out-of-state entity was identified as BTW Enterprises, LLC, which reportedly received $214,8000 from a victim who lost approximately $500,000. The company was also found to have been involved in prior fraud attempts.
Johnson was arrested in Marlborough, Massachusetts on two counts of obtaining property by false pretenses. She is waiting to be transported to North Carolina.
