What a SCAMMER. "Peter Anderson" with a thick accent claiming that he is part of the "Publishing Clearing House". Phone number 876-854-7981.

He was saying something about a Mercedes and a $2.5 million cash blah blah blah. All I had to do was go down to my local Walgreens/CVS/Walmart to purchase a $250 cash card of some sort.

He was rambling, hard to understand, and after my skepticism I told him I wasn't interested in some $2.5 million payout. Then he hung up on me.

What a waste of time, I wasn't expecting I would ever get a call like this on my cell phone when my phone is on the do not call registry list.

The only reason why I picked it up was because my brother recently did something to this phone where it come out BLOCKED. Never picking up a BLOCKED call again.  Ugh

And the stupid thing is, he was asking for my cell phone number and he didn't know he was actually calling it.

These filthy, little animals have been particularly active the past few weeks and I have noticed an interesting trend. As the calls persist, the prize, that I supposedly have won, keeps increasing (from 2.5 million to 3.5 million to 10 million plus a car and a flat screen TV) but the porch monkeys who are calling keep getting dumber! While the first rodent had some idea of my name (though he was not entirely correct,) this most recent SHLF (Sub Human Life Form,) who kept repeating "my prize would be there within the hour," did not even have my correct state address!

If you receive another call, be certain to record it, as this particular scam is now the target of a Federal investigation, using the code name, JOLT.

Called me claiming i had won and when he told me i needed to send them 500 told him no thanx. When he called back my boyfriend told him we arent interested.and he threatened him... Major bs dont fall for it!!

Now WHY would a caller from "Texas" be using a Jamaican number?  Area Code 876 = Jamaica.  Yes this is a SCAM.  They claim you won a lottery or sweepstakes prize and need to pay a "processing fee" or some such to claim your prize.  No legitimate contest requires you to pay a fee to obtain the prize.  For major cash prizes, taxes are automatically deducted from the winnings.  it is best to ignore all calls from the 876 Area Code.

SCAM ALERT

Called early in the am and woke me up, said I had a certified check coming and they needed my info to set up the delivery. Refused to give me a Business name but did say I had won the lottery or something to that effect. When I asked where they were based out of he said Texas. I asked where in Texas, he replied our office is by the firehouse, You know where the Firehouse is? Yes?

I finally told him that I would have someone call him back as I was out of town. As I began trying to write down information, he got upset with me and said he would have to get his manager, but of course his manager was not there at the moment.

I finally told him I would check him out thru the police and FBI, so he hung up.


SCAM ALERT

Said we had a delivery coming today.  Very hard to understand and rambled on and on.  Just hung up on him...  SCAMMER!!!

On the phone to 876-854-7981.   We will be receiving a new car AND a check!  WooHoo!   (LOL)  

OBVIOUS SCAM.

Do NOT give your information to these folks...  This is their 3rd call to us today. When they spoke with me earlier, they told me we won 5 million dollars.  

Speaking with my husband, we won a GMC pick up truck and $8,000.  

They want us to go to Walmart and get a money card.

Very complex line of BS.  He goes on and on and on...  Will be meeting us in person, yada, yada, yada...  Coming in a private jet, etc.
