876-394-8100

He said his name was Jack Washington and we had a cashiers check for 1.5 million dollars. Kept calling when we hung up.

Got a call from them too. Have no idea what that's about

The caller said he is David Johnson and  states that he is from Publishers Clearinghouse and you've won 2.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes. There is a two thousand dollar process fee and they will work with you to see how much you can pay for the processing fee. Of course, if you ask them to tell you what your name is they don't know it unless you tell them.. My husband had fun with getting all their information so others will be aware!

I received two calls:  one from 876.394.8100 and one from 876.894.1788.  I didn't answer because it said the call was from Jamaica and I don't know anyone from there.  

This guy called me today said his name was Jim Waters from Publisher Clearing House and that I won $1.5 million and that all I needed to do was go to Walmart and wire $499 to claim my $2.5 million prize. Really??? I played with him for about an hour off and on making him think I was all in and then informed him that he was in violation of US Business and Commerce Code title 13 chapter 622 for sweepstake provisions. I then told him I reported his information including name, phone number and address to US Federal Law Enforcement, Federal Trade Commission and the US Department of Justice. After a short pause he asked if I still wanted my prize.

SOBs called my cell phone. They did their spiel, and I growled at them for even contacting a NO-CALL phone. He hung up faster than he called in.

He had a strong fake accent & told me I had won the Mega Lottery.  I told him to drop dead & hung up so far he hasn't called back.

Called and said his name was Marvin White. Told I won 2.5 million dollars and a car. But told me there was a registration fee that I could pay at the nearest WalMart western union

just got that call tooo they said they were calling from los vegas  they have an answering srevice cause i wanted to call them back..i called and asked for mark henry in the message few minutes later they called me back and i asked for mark henry they put him on the line  and on and on with delivery and taxes i got tired and said my phone was dying they said they would call me back in a few minutes...so answer this if you want me to hold them on the line

DO NOT CALL THAT NUMBER BACK!

1) The call was from a scammer, trying to entice you to send money
2) If you return the call, it will cost you money!  (Keep reading)
3) The 876 (Island of Jamaica) prefix is VERY frequently used by scammers, and WILL cost you money if you call it back and don't have free international calling.
4) Some folks think all 8xx area codes are "toll free".  That is NOT true!  Scroll down for more 8xx numbers that will be charged at long distance rates.

Some area codes are not toll-free numbers and calls from any other area code are billed at international long distance rates.

Some curious people return the call and will immediately be charged $19.95 for an international call fee and an additional $9-per-minute charge, according to a news release from the BBB.

Here is a list of some area codes that will be billed as international calls:

242 Bahamas
246 Barbados
264 Anguilla
268 Antigua
284 British Virgin Islands
345 Cayman Islands
441 Bermuda
473 Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique
