>>  I have called it ever have a plans to call this number back at anytime... <<

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 (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
649 Turks and Caicos
664 Montserrat
758 St Lucia
767 Dominica
784 St. Vincent & Grenadines
809, 829, 849 Dominican Republic
868 Trinidad and Tobago
869 St. Kitts & Nevis

Took a call from a David Brooks CEO of Winners International all about how I had won 3.5 Million Dollars and a Mercedes Benz. I was given a number to call 876-813-6635 to verify that I was indeed home and waiting for the delivery??? In this time of modern technology used for fact finding you would think that these unscrupulous scam artists (and I use that word artist loosely) would start to give up their scamming ways. Just goes to show who the dumb ones really are. I hope he grows very weak and old waiting for my call lol.

6/24/15 Received a call from a Bill Griffiths saying he was from Publisher Clearing House. Bill said that I was the 2nd prize winner of $6.5 Million dollars & a new 2015 Mercedes Benz! Gave me a claim # & a lucky ticket # & said when they come I need to give them these #. Then he asked for $885.00 for registration fees. Went to PCH website AND IT SAID THAT PCH DOES NOT ASK FOR ANY MONEY NOR FEES!!! THIS PHONE NUMBER IS A SCAM!!!

Bill Griffin call me this morning and told me I want six and a half million dollars and a 2016 Mercedes but needs $1,555 MoneyGram from Walmart for my registration fee
