876-528-8100

This phone number is registered in Jamaica. .. it is being used by a Craigslist scammer.

I got a call from "Dave" from Publishes Clearing House. I hung up on him and he called me back demanding why I hung up so I told him I didn't want to talk to him and to stop calling my [***] phone.

Caller claimed to be from Publishers Clearing House.  I told him to stop calling my number.

I received the call twice. They said I won a price and when I asked who they were trying to reach he could not give me a name just that the winner was the owner of the phone. I asked that he not call me and he hung up. Must be a scam

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.

It is a scam:

They never require any money, purchases, taxes, fees, or deposits of any kind to get your prize.

Publishers Clearing House DOES NOT call, email, FAX, mail, any advanced notice that you have won.

"If you are ever contacted by someone claiming to represent PCH, or claiming to be one of our employees,  and asked to send or wire money (for any reason whatsoever, including taxes); or send a pre-paid gift card or Green Dot Moneypak card in order to claim a sweepstakes prize – DON’T!  It’s a SCAM. If you are sent a check, told it’s a partial prize award, and asked to cash it and send a portion back to claim the full prize award, DON’T.  The check is fake, but the SCAM is real!

Publishers Clearing House does not operate this way and would NEVER ask for money to claim a prize award.  PCH employees would never contact you personally or in advance to notify you of a prize award.  Our prize awards are presented just the way you see in our popular TV commercials, ‘live and in person’ by our Prize Patrol, with balloons, champagne and check in hand - - and with no advance notification!"

Received a call from this number today.  I do not answer calls from unknown numbers thanks to all of the responses here at 800notes.   Thanks to all of you for the information you provide for others regarding these scam artists!!

Received a call today from this #. A "John Richmand" claiming to be from PCH. Said I'd won 2 million and a Mercedes. Gave me the 2 million dollar check # that of course has my name on it, the conformation #, package #, and winning #. Said "Mary Lee" will be the delivery person for my prize. And gave me the company phone #, same as above. Just send $505 for taxes and delivery.  He's gonna call tomorrow, I'll see if he'll lend me the money for a stamp to mail the money order. Lol!!!!

Since this is based in Jamaica also file a report here (phone number is at the end of the article):  https://www.ice.gov/doclib/news/library/repor ... nerstone7-1.pdf

Received a call from 876-528-8100 claiming he was from publisher clearing house and that I won a monetary amount and a car but I needed to pay for taxes from IRS first.  Once I told them I would gladly do that AFTER I received the product, he hung up on me

This number called twice back to back At 7:27 am. I don't usually answer numbers I don't know but when he called the second time I answered in case it was an emergency. He said he was from Publishers Clearing House. I asked him why he was calling so early because I've worked at a call center and I know there are guidelines as to not calling before a certain time. He just continued with "you're a winner" and I hung up and proceeded to block the number.

Of course it's a scam.....do not call them back. Jamaica is an international $$ call from the USA

Called twice and don't leave a message
I do not answer calls from numbers I don't know

Received a call from 876-528-8100 claiming he was from publisher clearing house and that I won 2 million, I guess I wasn't excited enough for him a man name John Patterson. Told me to get a pen and paper and write his name down and asked was i a home for a delivery and was I home alone? I told him I was at home and I was at home with my family. After I told him that he hung up.
Side note: Publisher Clearing House doesn't make calls, He did not know my name and My phone let me know that the call was from Kingston, Surrey County, Jamaica

Didn't answer the phone.  It was from Kingston, Surrey County, Jamaica..

A really dumb scammer as number displayed from foreign country!
Did not answer, checked 800notes to verify, and blocked number.
