Some Jamaican guy has called me 6 times today..the most recent one was at 11 PM! He said I won some PCH grand prize of $65,000 from a contest that was randomly selected from a list of phone numbers. He told me that I needed to donate to a charity first and then I could collect my prize. So basically I needed to send him money and then we would meet up at a church and he would give me the rest.. lol obvious scam!!!!!

Sue,

Not the first time I have seen a "Chris says everyone knows so you are an idiot" post in a thread.

As far as I can tell, you did fine.

Chris, I *DID* read them. I was just posting about my experience, in case others got the "Verizon" schpiel. CHILL!

Chris said: "everyone  knows  about the   "  876"  jamaica"     fraud  scams.........." ?

Well, I'll get an email off to Julia, I'm sure she will want to shut down the site.  After all, if "everybody knows", what is the point in the site staying up?

Of course, that means you, Chris, are going to have to find somewhere else to make hateful, snotty, and condescending posts to people like Sue who have done nothing wrong.

What is it about the 876 threads that draws all the trolls?

everyone  knows  about the   "  876"  jamaica"     fraud  scams..........


IF  you  bothered  to  review  and  read the forums , all questions   on  this   scam  have  been  addressed  here and  answered a million  times !!!

Got a call from a guy claiming to be from UPS  (at 5:55pm on a HOLIDAY - Memorial Day) evening claiming to be from UPS, saying he had a check for me for $35,000 as a winner in a sweepstakes from Verizon. Verizon is my cell provider, but I never entered any sweepstakes, and said it had to be a mistake.He was persistent, bordering on nasty, and I wanted to tell him to go to hell. Kept hanging up on him. He kept calling back, and I finally told him to deliver it to the police, and they could check it out first. Glad this was tracked to Jamaica. I taled to our police and they said I was about the third caller they'd had today on that. They recommended reporting him to the State Attorney General's office, and I plann to do just that first thing in the morning.

Guy claiming I won money through Verizon wireless, out of the city I live in.  My saving grace and what tipped me off is that the phone bill is NOT in my name, nor is it a plan out of the city I currently live in.  When I started to question him, he started getting rude.  When I asked for his manager, he got flustered and said he wasn't available.  I told him to have his manager call when they could finally dig up any actual facts on me, or a better scam as this one was pretty pathetic.

Received a call from 876-397-4172 and was told they had a check waiting for me for 80,000 from some contest I entered andhe said where I supposedly lived which was incorrect and I told him it was a scam and hung up on him and he called me back, he started to go on and asked me if I thought he would jerk my chain about this and I told him to stop calling my phone or I would notify my provider and I hung up again

Yep!
It was from Kingston, Jamaica and was BAD NEWS calling you!

Received phone call could hardly understand the guy, something about a guy at his office called me the other day to pick up a check from his office. I asked who was he calling for he stated LUCY I advised him my name wasn't LUCY. He continued to go on telling me I live in Ft. Lauderdale, after that I immediatly informed him again; that wasnt my name or place of living. Told him next time to ask for a name before he begins to blurt out things for the wrong person and HUNG UP..

Got a call from this number, and could hardly understand a word the guy was saying...something about entering something, being chosen for something, asked if I got something in the mail, and something about a check...I said "You must have the wrong number" he said "No, mam" bla bla bla...after he spoke some more, I said "No, you must have the wrong number, we didn't do anything like that" and hung up. He called back, but didn't leave a message.
As my mama always told me, if it's important, they'll leave a message.
