876-344-2876

Called me twice this morning

These are some jamaican scammers who are too stupid to block their number. They threaten and harass people and demand personal information yet nothing is done.

DO NOT return the call from someone calling from a 876 area code.
This is not a toll free "800" number, it is the international long distance code for the island nation of Jamaica. You are charged international and long distance rates for calling this number. Other international/long distance area codes are 809, 284, and 649.

Scammers use these numbers to not only try to scam you out of money, but also sting you with high phone call rates.

Do report the calls, Jamaican and US officials are still actively tracking down and arresting the offenders:

My mother is getin calls from these people at 2am wanting her to send them a money card so they can send her 1 million

Its sad that people have to resort to these kinds of scams
to basically eat and support themselves and their families.
Really? Their survival depends on the stupidity level of random
strangers on the phone a world away. What miserable folks they
must be. And a person would have to be really really Stupid to
fall for this crap. Random strangers on the phone mean nothing.
Laugh, scream, yell F you or whatever and hang up.

I asked this person how he got my phone number and he just kept repeating that I won a huge sum of money and two cars.  I kept asking him and he finally said "[***]."  Nice huh?

Work the guy a little bit then told him off he laugh and hung up scam!
