876-396-5022

Received a call today, 5-22-2012, from 876-396-5022 -- computerized voice saying I'd won a new BMW and a cashier's check for delivery to Tennessee (my home state), all from Publisher's Clearing House.  Well, knowing that publisher's clearing house is (1) in the habit of surprising people with their prizes and (2) capable of paying a live person to make a phone call and (3) that they require actual entries for their prizes, I said I didn't get it, that it sounded like a scam to me.  The line immediately disconnected from the caller's end.  Just as I suspected.  Don't buy it people.  If you get a call like this, just hang up.  Don't be a victim.  Peace.

Real person called my cell.  Poor connection.  Something about Publishers Clearing House.  No doubt a SCAM since I've never submitted any entries & VERY few people have my private cell #.  BLOCKED the number from cell ph.  (VERIZON allows up to 5 numbers blocked for Free, valid for 90 days.)  This is the 2nd number I've (EVER) had to block & both were from 876/Jamaica.  1st one was 5/30/12.

Mr Omar Balck called cell phone and said we had a check from ups to be delivered today. I told him this was a fake called and not to call again. Something need to be done to stop these people. Some people will fall into the trap they create and loose a lot

Man said his name was Wilson and calling from UPS. Said he had a BMW and 25,000 to deliver to me today. I told hime he was full of SH$T and not to call me again.

Just received a call from (876)396-5022:
Me: Hello?
Caller: *tv noise in the background* Hello.
Me: Hello?
Caller: *tv noice turns down a little* Hello. How. Are. You. Doing. Today? <-- (yes this is how they talked with periods/pauses between each word)
Me: Who do you want to speak to?
Caller: This. Is. The. United. States. Postal. Office. Calling. And. We. Have. A. Package. For. You.
Me: *thinking bs* WHO DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH??
Caller: Well. I. Would. Like. To. Speak. To. The. Owner. Of. This. Phone. Because. I. Have. Some. Great. News. And. We. Have. A. Package. Here. Waiting. For. You!
Me: *laughing* YEAH RIGHT!! No thank you we are not interested.

People are getting so desperate during the holiday season that they just want to ruin it for everyone else by pulling lame ass scams.

i got a call today 01/28/2013 from this number claiming i had won a prize. The prize was claimed to be for seven hundred fifty dollars a cashier check claiming to be brought to my house for delivery and that it was coming from Buggalusa. i knew it was a scam because u can hear kids and other people in the back ground talking. I'm just glad i realized it was fake before i gave my info out to him and he said his name was Omar Wilson lying dirty sad [***] dog. Somebody need to do something bout his ass.

Saw this number on my Caller ID and it said Jamaica. I didn't even bother to answer it.

Someone called me from 8763965022 with computerized voice telling me they want to send me $900,000 check today. I asked how they got my number and that I don't think I signed up for it and they hung up on me. I think if someone wanted to give me $900,000 for some reason they would try a little harder, I mean I get that kind of offer all the time psh

Got the call from 876 396 5022 on my daughters phone. Full on scanner...told me in a robotic voice that he, " Alvin" , had a check for $950,000... I told him it was my daughters phone and I wanted to know who it was...Hung up. Full scammer.

Just got a call from 876-396-5022 with a computerized voice and they told me the same BS as all the other comments listed.  WTF!!!! Who as time for this [***]????

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:

Just got a call from this number.  At first thought it was a recording since the call sounded automated, however the caller's responses indicated that he/she was using a voice scrambler.  This person, an "Omar Goldberg" claimed to be from the post office and stated that I have a package from PCH which consisted of $1.6 million and a new Range Rover.  Since I had never entered a PCH sweepstakes, I was not amused.  Omar stated, "you don't seem to excited about receiving this package".  I stated that "I don't think this is legit" to which Omar replied, "well then it's not legit", and then hung up the phone.  I could also hear a TV in the background.

Thanks for an interesting morning, Omar!

I received a call from this number, I usually keep them on the line as long as I can or have them call me back several times before they quit (just because I like to mess with them).  They were excited for me to win 2.7 million and a new 2014 Lincoln Navagator  WOW!!!!!!!  one miner problem they needed $1,755.00 on a green dot card from one of several places (a pre-paid credit card) they tell you that you are not to scratch the card until the people arrive with your winnings, but the scratch off only tells what you have on the card which will be $0.00 when they are finished.  I told them I was a poor construction worker and could not come up with the $, they called me back with great news, I only needed $399.00 and they would carry the rest. I will see how long they keep calling me to see if I have the green dot card yet.  Too funny and too bad that people will actually provide this to them.

Same thing happen to me,  caught me in a down moment, i lost some money,   these people should be stopped,  didnt lose alot, but if i had been and elder person on fixed income,  what would i do,  i learned my lesson, this mans name was OMAR MASON

PCH:

Omar mason called...hung up after I asked him if this was a scam.

I had that same call the hold 3weeks saying i won a lump sum of money who wins money from a company and the the company asking u for money.who ever it is needs to stop.

I got a call from Roy green he was from pch  had won 965000 .00 and new car l told him bull have not enter any thing  he said he needed 370.00 for lawyer fee

I received a call from a "Michael Sharp" phone number (876)396-5022 he sounded as if he was trying to disguise his voice.  He said he was calling from the publishers clearing house and that I have won $1.4 million tax free and a mercedez benz. The only thing I needed to do is go to Wal-Mart and get a "receipt" for $699.05 (assuming a money order) to pay the delivery fee that goes directly to the IRS. Two lawyers will show up to deliver the $1.4 million dollars and at the same time pick up the $699.05 "receipt".  Once the receipt is confirmed they will hand over the winning prize money and the car.  Supposedly they will go with me to the bank of my choice and make the deposit. He said something about state farm paying for fuel for the next 2 months. He also gave me check s/n, federal #, and a package code. He was asking how I was feeling about winning these prizes, I said it felt weird because I did not believe it until all the prizes were in my possession. Besides, who wins $1.4 million tax free? I make $35k a year and I still have to pay taxes on that?
