Received a call today telling me I had won 5.5 million from PCH. Left a message with his name as John Spencer and to call 1-876-476-1591. Called the number and got a voice mail saying to leave a message and phone number and they would call back. Just hung up.

This call came in tonight at 8:30 pm from 876-476-6545. A man with a thick accent telling me I just won 5.5 million dollars and he needed some information. I hung up on him. Add this # to the list.

Jeanne, thank you for sharing your experience here. Sadly, the local police cannot/will not be able to assist you. If  these filthy rodents call again try find out what they actually know about you (usually, nothing more than your first name) and try to extract as much information from them as possible. If you can, record the call.

What might surprise you is that over 30,000 calls are made DAILY from Jamaica to the United States for the purpose of trying swindle/extort money. Since they seem to target the elderly and spurred on by the powerful AARP lobby, this particular scam is currently the subject of a Federal investigation, using the code name JOLT.

I thought I had finally heard the last from these foul smelling, little animals, when I received a call from someone calling himself "John Felix" (apparently these clowns 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! This was, apparently, a different scam operation than the the one 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 from "Mega Millions." These calls are being placed via Magic Jack and the audio quality is very poor. 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 Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA" As it turns out, this address belongs to a sort of homeless rehab facility

Received call from  876-466-1543 number -gave his name as Micheal Colline I had won 5.5 million dollars needed to go to my local CVS pay $100.00 get a green money claim packet and call him back when I got it. I went to my CVS to ask- they had no idea agreed it was a scam. I returned home and he called me back caller ID read Jim Kingston with the 876-476-1591- asking if I had the green money claim- "why did you not call me back. I told him I did not have it yet. He called back 6-7 times had to take phone off to stop the calls. Reported this all to my local police department.

Add 876 287 0089 to the list of this scammers #'s. All cell #'s from Jamaica. Always very thickly accented poorly spoken English. Always asking for someone named Della and insisting they have millions for someone if they could just get some personal info. A few questions usually gets an irate/vulgar response and if you attempt to press them back they become verbally threatening. they are very persistent. the only way I've been able to stop the calls is to block the #'s.

This number called our house. It was a James Moore.  There is another number from the same idiots calling so be careful!  These idiots called my house at 7:15am yesterday and 5:45am this morning!

Received a call from 866-435-1646...did not answer.  Left message that I had won 5.5 million dollars from PCH.  Asked that I call 876-476-1591.  Caller was James Moore.....

got a call from 876-476-1591 which is a # from Jamaica saying I had won PCH $5 million and a Mercerdes that would be delivered today on a flatbed UPS truck (I never saw one) ..wanted us to buy 2 x $200.0 green money cards at Wal-mart. They said they were in local town which is 15 min away but they said that they were an hour and an half away. continued questioning caused them to hang up. they gave us their phone number and names. there were 2 of them. they said they were at customs and that IRS was with them. they used the names James Moore and laten sharp  The green card was supposedly used for I.D. and would not meet me at my bank where my ID was well known. All this for $400.00.

Called me telling me I won some money.   I want off of their calling list immediately!!!

Yes, this is a scam. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number,  or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money.
Beware area code 876 is Jamaica. If you call them, you'll have to pay international rates. The number may be a premium rate number like our 900 numbers that charge a lot of money per minute. If you don't know anyone in Jamaica, it's highly likely a scammer.
