This creep almost got  600 dollars from my 78 year old mother. Thank goodness my sister showed up and stopped her from wiring the money.

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:

Also:
It is a scam:
http://info.pch.com/consumer-information/fraud-protection

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!"

This man with a heavy english accent calls my cell and I answer. He says I have won the 500k PCH award....I hung up as soon as I heard that! I wondered if I had missed out on something tremendous. I researched the number that came up and I didn't miss a thing...whew!

Here's a quick "how do you spot a scam":
(1) Area code 876 is Jamaica (the country)
(2) Ever see one of those Lottery winners on TV? How much tax do they deduct? Apx. 50%, right? Does $185 tax on half a million seem correct to you?
(3) When you get paid at work do you send in the tax money before you get your paycheck?  or is it taken off at the source?
(4) Have you ever used a wire transfer before? (Western Union, MoneyGram, etc.) NO business, Lottery, Prize organization, Government Agency uses them. They are intended to be used to send money to family, & friends (real ones). They are the payment of choice of scammers because they are CASH.
(5) Ever watch those Clearing House commercials on TV? Do they call you, or show up with the oversized check, balloons, & bottles of bubbly?

Phillip from Publisher Clearing House saying he needs $185 to pay the taxes on $500,000 winnings.  We pay the taxes first and then they will present us with a check for $500,000.
