I have received calls from a man claiming to be James White from a pots phone. He just needs me to get a green dot tack card for 199 dollars and then he will have 3.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes delivered to me.
How do u report them to the better business bureau? The number is 876-373-2729. Anyone know what zip code this is?

He has a very long list of different names he uses and some times he might try to sound like a woman or try to change his voice so it sound like a different guy but it's the same guy every time

You can either change your number and not give it out when or if you order from any magazines/catalogs, because if you block the number he will get a different number he has been calling my grandma for a year as far as if she doesn't answer he will keep calling untill she dose(he calls about 30-60 times a day) he will stop calling if you pick up the phone and tell him off then leave your phone off the hook for about 5mins doing that will give you about 2-3 days of peace from him. Unformally I can not do really anything to get him to stop calling her because I have already changed her number 4 times now but since she likes to buy thing from the magazine/catalogs or from the late night tv adds he ends up getting her number again the FBI just told me what I can do to stop it and the same for the cops

Adam, you might be surprised to learn that over 30,000 calls are placed DAILY from Jamaica to the United States for the purpose of trying to swindle/extort money. In most cases, these foul smelling creatures have only your phone number and will try to extract additional information from you using the ruse of trying to verify your correct name/address so they can deliver the prize package.

I was first contacted by these filthy, little animals, when I received a call from something calling itself "John Baker" (today it was "James Faulkner".) In any event, this "John" was calling to tell me I had won 2.5 million dollars from "Mega Millions" in Las Vegas. It instructed me to get a Green Dot Money card from CVS, load it with $499.25 to pay for my "registration fees." A few days after this call, I was shocked to see this particular scam featured on ABC World News. During that segment, they played the audio of a conversation between an elderly woman - who had already sent them $85,000 - and one of these black stained rodents.

When these roaches call again - which they will - please record the call and share that information here in this forum. Please include your area code - JUST your area code - along with your posting name. Thanks.

PS. Was you "David White's" middle name, "Notso?" Filthy animals.

I received a call late in the afternoon, letting me know by a certain "David White" that I had won 25,000 dollars and Mercedes Benz from a company that he would not be very clear about. I could hear cars in the background which made me suspicious. He started giving me a set of numbers and then to write down the name of a "green.moneypack reloadable card" That made me wonder why would I need something like that If I had won that amount of money. Then he told me to go to a Home Depot. That is when I realized it was a scheme because he told me I had to buy a 500 dollar card. I can't believe this actually happened.

I got a call from emily who said I won 250.00 giftcard. Also 60 months of magazines at only 3.88 for all per week. Wasnt asked to pay or for a cc number was told my things would be here in abt 4 days. The supervisor called back and we were disconnected, to check on emilies progress amd I told him I was not interested in paying for magazines, he then rudely said "so we wernt disconnected I was hung up on. Amd then hung up on me!

i have had enough of this.

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.

Also:
It is a scam:
http://info.pch.com/consumer-information/fraud-protection

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!"

yes the same thing has happened to me and my family. but whenever my 12 year old daughter answers the phone, he sexualy harrasses her talking about grown up things. im gunna have to do something about this.

Several phone calls from this number saying I won 2.5 million dollars and a BMW. Telling me to stay home, we're going to deliver it today. First call I ever got from them sounded like a bad cell connection from a club. Googled their number and found this. I feel bad for the people that fell for this scam!

They Are Scammers They Are So Dumb They Hv No Clue Hawaii Is Is Like 6 Hrs Behind In Time zone

Now U Know That Is Awful Awful...Advise Them That You Hv Given There Number To The FBI  N That This Call Is Been Recorded

Yess Very!!!...You Are Very Welcome!!!

Figures..  Pathetic. And thank you:-)

Oh and to add, we had spoke to one of them on another occasion after we got rude with them and tried to tell them were not interested and that one of their employees threatened us because we wouldn't give him our money which they were wanting anything we could give even if it was five bucks which is suspicious as well) the man said his apologies and assured us the man was dealt with and then began to say how he was part of some government in a federal agency dealing with fraud and things like that and assured us they were legit. We then ended up having to tell them she had died and we were grieving over her and the man still persisted and asked if I wanted the prize and if I had any money. I said no and he asked if I even had a little bit and I said no. They stopped for about six months and now the calls have started again.

Yes They Are Preying On Old People!!!...Glad You Are There With Your Grandmother!!!..They Also KnOw It Is The First Of The Month They Are Trying To Get A Hold Of Olf Peoples Social Security Checks

Yes They Are Preying On Old People!!!...Glad You Are There With Your Grandmother!!!

I hear you guys. I've been getting these calls to from a POTS Phone JM number: 876-823-6953 I currently reside with my grandmother that's around 90yrs old. They kept trying to reach her through us saying she had won money and a black Mercedes. We politely declined over and over and they constantly called back finally we got nasty with them and in turn they got ugly said things like I know where you live etc etc different guys but they all had a strong accent I want to say Arabic or Indian could be wrong. They also used different variations of those JM registered numbers. I honestly think they're preying on older folks.

GramaLou, thank you for sharing your experience.

In researching this particular scam, I learned that there are over 30,000 calls made DAILY from Jamaica to the US for the purpose of trying to swindle/extort money. Sadly, many unsuspecting people - especially the elderly - do become victims. The name of  the lottery/contest varies (e.g. Publishers Clearing House, Mega Millions, Monthly Winners Club) but the basic scam is fairly consistent. The urging to "keep your winnings confidential," also seems to be a common thread, as these rodents are surely aware, if the supposed winner (aka victim) discusses this scheme with other people, there is a much greater likelihood, they will hear, "IT'S A SCAM!"

Just when I thought I was FINALLY finished with these filthy, little animals, I received a call from someone claiming his name was "John Felix" (what is it with these clowns - do they think every white person in the US has "John" for a first name?) In any event, this "John" was calling to tell me I had won 3.5 million dollars! As it turns out, this SHLF (Sub Human Life Form) was NOT connected to the scam operation that had contacted me two weeks earlier. In that scheme, I was contacted by a "John Baker" who instructed me to get a Green Dot Money card from CVS to pay my registration fees because I had won 2.5 million!

Most of these calls are being placed via Magic Jack and the audio quality is very poor. So poor, in fact, I had to abandon my recording of this most recent call just to understand the worthless porch monkey. In order to once again pay for "registration fees of 5%," I was instructed to obtain a Money Gram for $499.25 and that I would be sending it to "Lloyd David Cook, 5201 S. Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA." As it turns out that is the address of a sort of homeless rehab facility.

If you receive any more calls, PLEASE try to record them as this particular scam is now the target of a Federal probe using the code name, JOLT.

I got a call at 4:15 a.m. in Hawaii to wake me up from POTS Jamaica at 876-364-1448.  I had a call about 2 months ago also, which left message that I did not return.

They keep calling here (as early as 6 am, & we are NOT early risers). Finally, I answered, just to tell them to quit calling, & the man w/an accent that made him sound "retarded", yelled at me that this was Mr. Michael & it was important. He had a pkg for my husband.  Among 3 phone calls w/both of us talking to him, we finally deduced that we were supposed to pick it up at WalMart, but my husband swore he hadn't ordered anything.  He also said that we had to pick up a green card for 299 (which I interpreted as 2.99 until I read the notes here) & gave us a code #.  He insisted that we had to have the right change, & that this was confidential & we couldn't tell anyone.

I suggested that we call WalMart & report it, but first, I checked online & was amazed that so many other people have had similar experiences. Also, my husband has fallen for several Publisher's Clearing House scams, so I wouldn't be surprised if our info came from them.  He did say that he had to list his age on the forms he filled out, & it appears that they are targeting older people (he is 78).  Like others have said, it bothers me that they have so much information about us (he also kept repeating our address).

I keep getting calls from 876-366-7423 saying he is Dave Sayers from plublishers clearing house sweepstakes, saying i won $2 million, go to Wal Mart and pay $400.00 a green dot card for the money i supposed to have won.  The prize patrol and him( Dave Sayers) will be there somewhere after i put money on card to take pictures and celebrate with baloons etc.... wow... that is  a very wicked SCAM to try to run on people. please STOP these people !!!!!

This number 8763669010 coming up as POTS Phone JM has called 4 times since 9:29am telling my mother she has won 2 1/5 million dollars and she just needs to go to CVS pharmacy to get a card to give to them when they show up to get her money. They also have my name.  I hung up on them.

so i ask one small detail if i decided to claim the prize if they gonna deliver it and say yes and i said how bout the checked and he offered we will accompany you to the bank if you want..  oh well thats a legit if they will accompany you to the bank of america.. anyway people who get phone calls to these kind of calls beware and be careful.. if they are legit you wont pay a cent for the prize you won thats how raffle draws... i dont know if its real or not... i simply dont trust people who calls my phone saying you won a prize? i hope some actions to be done...

Report these Jamaican scammers to the FTC.

i started getting calls from jonathon reed of 876-367-1755 on saturday mar 10 from POTS phone JM telling me i had won 2.5 mil dollars and a new 2012 BMW and all i had to do was go to walgreens and get a money reload card in the amount of $465.00 and call and tell him when i had it and someone would be at my house with my money and car right away.  he has since callrd at least 25 times and even though i hang up or dont answer he continually calls back.  how do we get rid of people like this to protect elderly people who might think this is true.  it scares me sometime to think that maybe he knows where i live

This number 878-387-0610 along with 876-560-1946 POTS Phone JM the name given was Michael Jonez and they have been calling back non stop for 25 mins. I pick up and hang up and now left the phone off the hook.

I have received a call from this number ?(876)363-8340 and I was told that I won $2.5mil and a Mercedes benz! I asked him how is that possible, his response was: you have been a selected caller. I told him that this does not make sense due to the fact that I haven't registered or applied for any games.

I knew it was scheme, so I entertained him a little bit!in addition to that, he told me to buy a card at walmart add send him $500! So I asked him, "how is this possible if I won $2.5mil,why don't u deduct $400 from the $2.5mil"?. He said in response, "he will have to speak to his manager about it"! Ever since that, I have been receiving calls (5calls) in less than one hour!

Do not accept his phone call, if a(876)# calls, don't pick up its for your own good

calls from pots phone  are stupid , ignorant, gross individual, for days , I replied with profanity, that made  this individuals  to call more then once a day, stop them please, i'm a senior citizen and I deserve peace of mind.
