Like the other people  on this page I received a call from some guy w/ a heavy accent. He said he was looking for the "rightful owner of this (my) phone number". I didn't give him my name, I just asked him why he was calling. He told me it had to do w/ a 2.5 million dollar cashier's check. I told him "sure it does", & he hung up on me.

Please, never call them back. It will cost you money to call them.
See my post above yours.

Told me he was from National Cash Award, I asked him very politely to remove my number from his computer. This idiot then told me "suck my ick". I heard it while in the process of hanging up. I then called back and asked for a supervisor, it was the same man, I recognize the accent. I told him I would call the BBB and report him, he then told me again to "suck his ick and then to go get ucked, and called me a itch!

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.

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!"

PA It Is A Scam It Is A Jamaican Lottery Scam...Google Jamaican Lottery Scam

Got a phone call from this number.  Phone ID said Jamaica and person had a heavy accent.  He says I won 2.5 million from PCH and I had too call back to this number with all the info he told me to write down.  I asked where he was located and he said NY.  I said it was funny because his number said Jamaica and it sounded like a Nigerian money scam.  At that point he hung up on me.
