FYI, the 876 area code is an international call to Jamaica and not a toll free 800 type number. So you may have extra fees on your phone bill for making the call.

excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it?s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

1.Legitimate sweepstakes don?t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.  ( Or Charites as they are now claiming)


If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it?s not a prize at all.

Got a call from this number today saying I won 2.5 million dollars and a Mercedes-Benz from a drawing held by Publishers Clearinghouse on July 3rd.  I never entered this thing, so I decided to play along with this and asked what I needed to do to claim my prize.  He said I needed to get a $500.00 card from Walmart and call him back to see where I needed to send it.  I waited a little while and called him back and I don't think he will be calling my number again after what I told him (lol)!!

Just got the same call today,,,said I won from Publishers Clearinghouse on the drawing from July 3rd (which I never entered).  So I played along with him, and asked what I needed to do to claim my prize.  He said I needed to get a Walmart card for $500, and then call him back and he would tell me were to send it.  I said ok, and waited a little while before I called him back.  Well, I played a little game back with him and I don't think he will be calling my number again (lol)!!

Same thing happened to me.  He said we won $2.5 Million & a 2012 Mercedes-Benz, and I asked how he got my info.  Said some garbage & I told him to delete my number. He replied "F*** you wh*re, F*** you b**ch."

A guy from this number called my Mom.  She said she was sorry but she was busy and couldn't talk.  He said "F*** You Lady" and hung up on her.

I was called from Jamaica from the number above and I told the caller I wasn't interested in their offer. I was called back from this number and threatened with profanity and violence.

repeated calls
