Caller's voice was electronically altered, though you could still hear an Island accent behind it. Sounded like a robot trying to impersonate a ganjaman trying to impersonate a Russian mobster :/ . Said I had won (something unintelligible), and that they wanted to drop it by, and asked repeatedly if I was home. I politely declined. They hung up. #876-385-8029. I have a parabolic piece of Pb for these clowns. Please show up.

The man asked me for my name, bank number, address, and moor. He said I won $150.000 and I told him I did not enter any contest so I know it is a scam.

That 876-385-8029 has called three moor times this month already.

Same scam - 876-385-8029 - Promised to deliver a car - Publisher's Clearing House (Bogus)

"Hello, I am the UPS Agent for the Publisher's Clearing House..." - CLICK!!

My elderly 82 year old mother got a call from this number regarding Publishers Clearing House and they left amessage on her answering machine...she mistakenly returned it and talked less than 1 minute before determining it was a scam and her phone was charged $9.95. This is a scam.

Got a call from them...I had won $50,000 dollars in a secondary PCH prize drawing. All I had to do was send the taxes on the amount for my state (close to 10%), so that the government got their share before they could send the remaining prize amount. Told them to send the $50,000, and I would pay my own taxes, at which point he hung up.

Sadly, the U.S. Governement cannot prosecute these people.  Let your parents and grandparents know what they are and tell them to hang up immediately when called.

Very aggravating call.

Sad to say alot of elderly have already fallen for it!!..So warn as many as you can!!

Not giving my name, however, got a call from this scanner number today.  Please call whoever are the authorities to cut this scam's head off now!!!!  A lot of elderly will fall for this.  Stop it NOW!  And please hand them a slow, painful death!!!!!!

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.

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!"

The caller wanted to know if I Signed up Publisher Clearing House Sweepstakes. I had call a few months ago like this and figured it was a scam. He hung up.
