876-842-9788

I have now received three calls this month from JAIMIE !!! from jamaica, says i have won 250,000 dollars.

I played along, He wasted my time so I wasted his. he eventually began raising his voice to me and i yelled back so he hung up. He just called again and now i have won half a million !!! When i asked him if he called me last week he hung up !

I have been getting phone calls from this number since Saturday.  I have won 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes Benz.  All I have to do is go get a green dot card and put $500.00 on it and they will deliver our car and the money.  Right?  So I told him as soon as I saw him drive up in MY Mercedes holding a 2.5 million dollar check, I would go get a green dot card with the money on it.  He told me that's not how it works.  I told him that's how I work.

Sept 16 11am
I received a call from "Publishers Clearing House" (not true) that I had won (my phone # selected) $2.5 million and a Mercedes that would be delivere by UPS today at 11am if I paid $500 shipping and handling.
David Johnson (probably in Jamaica) said that mARY jONES was on the way with the check (HaHa); gave me several confirmation numbers and asked if I was married, retired, had drivers license and that the IRS wanted the info for taxes.....I hung up.

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:

Also:
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!"

Just got a call from this number. He said he was from an "insurance clearinghouse" and that I just won 2.5 million!!! Ha, ha, I just hung up on him! Seriously, do people really fall for this????????????
