876 number - You won the American Shopper's Network Sweepstakes

Actually my grandma got a call from them and answered and she DID get charged that.
Get your facts straight before posting idiot

I have been receiving the same types of calls.  They were from Price WaterHouse, area code 702.  I was told I had won 500,000.00 from the American Shopper's Network.  I just had to wire them 1499.00 to cover insurance and fees.  They even e-mailed me a copy of check,drawn on Wachovia.  I knew it was a scam and I hae once again listed my numbers on the do not call list.

Just got a phone call area code 702 said that I had won $2,500,000. and they needed my information to deliver my check from Price Waterhouse. I told them to call me back after I verified the information that they gave me. I knew also as soon as I answered the phone that it was a scam so I started asking for their information. They haven't called back ......... These people used to be operating out of West Africa, now they have set up shop here ? WTF is our government doing ...... their primary function is to protect the citizens of THIS country !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be fooled by the area code.  These crooks routinely illegally fake their names and numbers to make them look like they are calling from inside the US.   They could be calling from damn near anywhere.  Your best bet to determine the origin of the call is the accent of the caller.

They called for my daughter from the American Network sweepstakes of Los Vegas saying she had won 2nd place  2.5 million dollars and a new BMW . They gave the area  number of  876 and wanted an upfront payment of $1,999.sent by western union.I told them sorry this is a scam and don't call here again. I hung up and they tried three more times ... I just didn't answer the phone. They start early on this. I was called at 6:30 A.M.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU WIN IF YOU DONT ENTER!!!  JUST THINK ABOUT THAT!!!

Please be aware that this is a HUGE scam! Do not go buy any greendot card for 435.10 or any other amount. YOU ARE NOT the winner of 175,000 and bank of america did not hire this law firm to contact you in order to reprocess the check which was sent to me. The number to Bank of America is FAKE!!! It is a cell phone number to a Michael Smith someone in DC who claims to be a financial officer of bank of america. I also rec'd a call from Julie who claims to be from the law firm of Cork and Associates, located @ 3 Greenway ,Chattanoga Tn.The phone # 423-476-7657 and I needed to send a green dot card in the amount of $435.10  her which is the fee for reprocessing the check. Upon receipt she will contact the bank and have tham reissue the check.welll I told her that Ii will not send anymoney to her unless she sends me proof . She then took my email address and said that she will have the bank forward the proof . I rec'd the email from a winniehunt 50@yahoo.com

That's the letter I rec'd, which is a big scam and I got caught into.
I can go on and on but it's too much to tell. In the long run I lost $435.10 which could have been a whole lot more$ which this Michael Smith was asking for.

Won 175,000 from American Shoppers Network- But I would have to pay $485.10 to the  paperwork over again and get my money.

The law firm was hired by the FEDERAL GOVERMENT...the law firm was Cork Associate name of person was Julie Cork sure that's her name. Also went to Bank of American here  in St. Louis as they had no one working  for them under the name Michael A. Smith in Washington DC.

Number called me from: 1-423-475-7657
Number to FAKE bank: 202-239-5123
Real bank address: 3 Dunpoint Circle, Washington DC 20036

Spread the word!

I'd be wary of dialing anything in +1-876 Jamaica or any other of the former +1-809- Caribbean nations.

There are multiple entire 'phone exchanges (such as +1-876-HOT-....,  +1-876-WET-.... +1-876-SEX-....) created solely to run 'phone-sex scams in circumvention of consumer-protection regulations which would apply were the number a standard +1-900-976-SCAM in the US or Canada. These look like domestic numbers (+1-867 is Canada) but are not; such a call is therefore charged at full international rates without the telltale 011- prefix to avert the victim that this is indeed an expensive international call.

TOUCHE!!!  Been in your shoe , they are so many with all the very "compassionate" approach and unrelentless every second so beware  they said I won $ 18.5 million with 2 mercedes cars, a ranch in california, with a mansion. Paradise huh? the magicjet numbers 702, 876 509-7970,8766141851(FTC he says)876 463 9909,876 562 8041. Inhumane is not the word there are better ones they deserve to called.  I pray more people read , listen and keep away from "good doers" they will bury you sooner than you think

 Been there , still fighting my way. Michael Spencer the financial bank manger of the Meridian Bank affilliated with Bankof America in Washington, DC with Tony Washington financial officer of American Shoppers Network ,Brian Shaw, the CEO, a certain A Green.Smooth talking people but will SKIN you alive. Beware of these people. like you said spread the news.

I have had two Kinston Jamiaca calls in the last two days. The guy on the other end told me I won a sweepstakes and told me my money would be delivered at exactly 1:35 PM on Thursday and I must be  home.  I would be given a debit card that I should take to my local bank and turn in for cash.  I told him he was a scam artist and hung up.  I got home from work today and there was another call from Kington, Jaimaica!  The numbers that called me were 876-588-9919 and 876-561-1135.  Would love to put a stop to these idiots who prey on innocent people!

It is now April, 2011, and this scam is still going strong. New phone numbers to call 1-226-978-4176, (Ontario, CA) new names Larry Butler, (claim agent)  Simon Harris (promotion director). I only won $50,000. and the check that came with the letter is for $3,950. I was to send them $2,970. from Western Union. ( We don't even haave a Western Union in our community) and they would pay the taxes, than send the rest of the money to me. The phone numbes were not answered, although it seems that the bank the check was drawn on is legit, Baltimore County Savings Bank in Perry Hall, MD. Although when called I only got a menu of their services.
These guys are crooks. How stupid do they think we are?

OMG, I just got the same call. First thing I did was google this. Man... the nerve. I want to find out how they got my number though. My first clue was that they used my maiden name. haha  Idiots!

i got a call from america sweepstakes network that i won 387,000 dollars it came from 800-630-8482 it is a scam the names used were people from other legit sweepstakes. they do this to make u believe it is true i lost money but they are being investigated by the authorities. i wish i coul or knew howto start a business so i could help people recover their lost money from scammers. i am tired of getting calls from these losers. i am so sorry for all the loved ones who have lost money. but the good lord will take care of them in time.
