I received a call from Jamie Williams claiming I won 35,000 and a new 2014 Mercedes Benz S class car. He asked me to send 50 dollars to Daniel Scott in Jamaica,West Indies. I have never laughed so hard in my life. He actually thinks I'm gonna send him the money like I'm an idiot. LMFAO.

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:

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!"

A man named Jamie Williams called and said he was from PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE and  I had won $10,000, a Mercedez benz and a phone because my telephone # had been randomly selected because I shopped at Food Lion and/or Walmart.  He said I would need to go to Food Lion and wire $50 via western union later - said he would call back with the specifics.    I googled the info and found this was a scam.  

Guy calling himself Jamie Williams calling from # 1-876-597-6848 claimed he was from PCH said I won $10,000 an a car said I need to send him 50 dollars an he would show up at my door with the check an car I told him to car me back when I hung up I googled pch scams an seen they never call winners so when he called back I told him that an he hung up it was a scam p.s. he also somehow knew my name an address

I just got this call from a man named Jamie Williams from the same number running the same scam. I think it is hilarious that these prople do this. I want to know if there is a way they can be reported and arrested for scamming people. I am sick of the phone calls. I have been getting them from different people for weeks now. I want to change my number.

Got call 6/6/14 from Jamie Williams stating I had won $10,000, a new Mercedes Benz and a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I should send $50 to Orian Scott at 17 James Brown Road, Jamaica West Indies...such an obvious scam...

Same thing happened to me

I just received a call from David or Davey Jones stating that I won 10,000 and a Mercedes. I told him really and he then gave me a number and security code. Please be careful of this scams.

I got a call 4/15/14, I was driving so I kept it to the point.  Man with accent said he was from Mega Million's in Miami.... "congratulations mam, your number was randomly picked, and you just won $25,000.00, how do you feel mam?"  I said, I feel like I don't believe a word you are saying.  He hung up.

This guy requests money be sent to Western Union at 17 James Brown Rd. Jamaica, West Indies under the name Wilferd Gibson.

Next time this Jamaican scammer calls, ask him whether he is the Davy Jones from Moby Dick, from the Monkees, or from SpongeBob SquarePants.

Area code 876 (Jamaica), Western Union (a cash wire service), Davey Jones (late, of the Monkee's). Strike 3.

I just received an call from 1876-597-6848 and he said his name was David jones with mega box sweep stakes out of Miami Florida he told me I had won 45,000 dollars and a new 2014 Toyota and he also gave me an security code after talking with him he wanted me to go to an western union and pay an registration fee of 99.00 ASAP then he also said he was flying in from Miami to alabama and he was going to deliver the car with the news crew and radio station be aware it is an scam
