- Elfi FlyerReceived a call from this number, Caller ID indicated Kingston, JM. I let the answering machine answer the call, the party hung up before the outgoing message was complete. I have no intention of dialing the number back.
- Bob AllenGot a call this morning on my cell from a guy that sounded like he was from Jamica. He said he was with the UPS and wanted to know if I would be home to take delivery of a check. At this point I knew it was a scan and told him to go away and never call this number again.
- DaFoxDO 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.

- Concerned Citizen| 5 repliesI received a voicemail from this number, when I called him back I supposedly won a check from Publishers Clearing House for $1.5 million. He was asking if I would be home to accept the check in the next 40 minutes because it was in my home state ready to be delivered. Seems like a huge scam, I asked for all of my information to be removed.
- Caller: Mr. Jane Franklin
- MH-Texas| 1 replyReceived a call from this number. Guy knew my name (freaky) and identified himself as "J. Franklin." He said he was with USPS and they had a package to deliver to my home and then asked if I were home. I asked which USPS location he was with. He mumbled and I only could understand "Texas." He then asked the same question but in a different way. I then asked for his USPS street address and he hung up.

- Someone| 2 repliesReceived a call today from this number on my cell phone; would not have answered if I'd noticed it was an 800 number. The man had a heavy accent and he said he was from UPS. I hadn't ordered anything, and wouldn't have used my cell phone number if I had, so I told him I didn't think I'd ordered anything and hung up. I didn't hear the rest of his pitch because I immediately knew it was a scam.
- Caller: "Mr. James Franklin" - probably a fake name
