This has been going on for like a month and a half for me. He calls himself John Delaney and any time I tell him to prove it or that I want him to stop calling, he says "What the **** is wrong with you?! Stop being a dumb***!! What are you stupid?!" Then he'll turn right around and say he's sorry "honey" and that he really wants to meet me and maybe have sex with me and/or take me on a vacation to Jamaica. He continually asks if I have a boyfriend or if I'm with him or if I've slept with him and I've called him out on it every time. God, he makes me mad.
There is a proper number thread you should have posted in. It could have easily been found by reading and doing what the extremely simple and explicit instructions told you to do, which was to put the number in the search box.
I got that call from the jamician scammers claiming to be pch and I won 2.5mil... But they wanted me to pay $180.00 for a claimers receipt through western union
Ive been having 8763187691 call me for several days, its an out going number only as I tried calling it back. They are persistant, saying I won, I asked them, who do you want to speak to? he says, "your number won! because I was shopping at Walmart. I said I never shop at Walmart, you have the wrong winner, sorry, he was trying to convince me that I won, meanwhile he doesn't know my name and that I don't go to Walmart. I told him if he called back I would report him to the police...
876 is an area code for Jamaica. Never answer any calls from that area code. They are a bunch of scammers.

My 81-year-old neighbor answers every call she gets. Last year she was told that she had won $4.1 million in a Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes. They told her that they would be bringing the check to her house in an hour but needed $1300 cash from her for taxes or something. She told them that she didn't have any cash in her house, so they told her to go the bank and get it. She called me, so I Googled the number and found that the call came from Jamaica, and I told her that it was a scam. She was so afraid that "they" were going to come to her house and kill her that she called the Sheriff's Department and asked them to send a deputy to her house, but they just told her not to answer the door if anyone showed up. She was scared to death all day. I told her to stop answering calls from that area code, but she didn't listen. They called again, but she told them to go to hell and hung up on them.
Bless her heart. This is why I try to answer calls. So maybe she won't have to. So they will waste their time with me, rather than scaring a person like her. So they can get nothing from me, rather than a credit/gift card from her. Yes, I could get a call blocker. But it would do absolutely nothing to help her. But at least for that 5-10-20 minutes on the call, I am 100% certain the scammer I'm talking to is not scamming anyone else. This is my motivation.
Sounds like a noble reason and I too have engaged a few scammers thinking the same thing at one point. I only do it for my own personal amusements now, because I view scammers like mosquitoes, while I'm swatting the one bothering me, it is not bothering anyone else. But the truth is there are thousands more to take its place and I prefer now to use mosquito repellent when ever I can, but will still swat at a few if I feel a need for amusement.
