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:

Some dingrod from this number called me yesterday. He said that UPS was going to send me a cashier's check. I said that I didn't want the money. He wanted to know why. I said that I wasn't entitled to it. "But the money is rightfully yours"
At that point I told him to go kill himself and I hung up.

I got a call from this number and they asked if i was familiar with the ups truck. They then told me that I was the recipient of 1.5 million dollars. I hung up, they called back and asked to "talk to your boyfriend''. i said "who is this???" They told me to 'F' off two or three times and to get the 'F' off the phone so they can "rape and kill" me. I have no idea how that would be classified... but it scared me.
