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:

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!"

Prank Call
Received a call from this number this morning at 9:00 AM.  The caller claimed that I had won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes to the tune of $500,000.00.  Since I have never entered the PCHS I knew this was a prank call or a scam trying to get my personal information.  Also PCH does not operate out of Kingston, Jamaica.  I told the man who called that I knew this was a scam and he got all upset saying "you should be jumping with joy right now."  Instead I was hopping mad that the fool had bothered me.  I told him he was a liar, a scam artist, and a thief;  then I hung up on him.  I hope this helps someone else be aware of the scam artist out there and to help prevent someone from being scammed.
