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!"

I received a call that said they were Publishers clearing house and I won a 2014 BMW and 5.5 million dollars and that I needed to go to a credit union and get a green dot money pass to purchase a voucher to claim my prize. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Don't do it Im sure its a scam!!

Called twice no message left.

I received a call from a male  claiming I won a big check from Wells Fargo. I hung up and he called back 3 times . He said I had to go to Walmart and by a 304.00 release card to receive my big check. I did a trace and found the number 1-876-848-8970 in Kingston Jamaica.

I am getting the same kind of call.  He originally asked for $1000 to claim my prize.  This time he called back and I only need to send $200 now.

A male individual called 6/9/08 12:03am. Mentioned to my wife something about sending six million plus dollars to our house. My wife hung up and the person called back again. He wanted to know why my wife hung up and she told he was talking nonsense and hung up again. He called again and this time I answered the phone and asked who he was. He hung up and did not call again
