A family member of mine was suckered into this scam, losing $1,200.00, thinking they were going to get 2 million that next Monday. It's sad to say but some people to fall for this. It needs to stop. A guy named "Washington" talked as if he was a broker and invested money. Sounds legit maybe for a 76 yr old. I would warn any family member that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

My 80+ year old aunt and uncle are being hounded to death from some scumbag named "Michael Henderson", who works for UPS. They have won $7 million and he wants to "Personally" deliver it to them. Phone company can't do anything because the calls originate outside the US. Who can we complain to to get this stopped? I contacted the FCC because my aunt is on the Do Not Call Registry, but I'll bet because the call comes from outside the US there is nothing they can do either. What about the FBI?

I live in Jamaica and am very disturbed by these scams. The scams are perpetuated by a very small group of Jamaicans and not by the large majority of Honest hard working Jamaicans. Please call The Organized Crime Unit of The Jamaica Constabulary Force at 876-967-1389. There is a division of this unit in the Jamaican Police Force that has been set up specifically to deal with Scams. Persons have been arrested but they need evidence that is sometimes hard to get. I am sure that they will be happy to work with you to set up any sting operation to catch these con artists. Why they continue to do this is because people do send them money repeatedly. If you never entered a competition or bought a ticket how do you expect to win. On behalf of Jamaica, sorry for the harrassment. Stay vigilant and don't send them any money. Listen for broken English and a fake American accent. Most of them, (not all) are uneducated or under-educated.

Plus a few blocked and unknown numbers. All the same call. Wants me to send first $50 by western union to jamaica.. now upping the ante and wants 50 THOUSAND dollars they want sent to an address in Lewisville, Texas but they upped the prize to 25 million so hey, a drop in the bucket. I always answer the phone with "Howze the weather in Jamaica today?" I think next time I will tell them I am sending the money and coordinate with the police in Texas so they can be nabbed when they get there to pick it up.  It was funny... for awhile.  Now they call me 3-4 times a day and when I start laughing they cuss me out.  Leave voicemail messages too. 

For the past two months, I have been getting calls from someone that says his name is Mr. James Porter saying he has a $400,000,000 check for me that I won, and next to that, I have won a brand new Mercedes Benz SUV. That went on for 3 weeks, then the same guy called back, this time, saying his name is David Cole (law attorney) from the number 876-859-4559. He said that he didn't know Mr. James Porter, and I didn't even ask him that! Then I asked him how much he needs me to send for "transporting into the US) and he told me he needs $4600! I checked online and real lottery winners don't pay before they get the money, they pay after!

Another thing, they won't stop calling me. If I hang up, they call back immediately asking if they can have the money NOW through Western Union.
I cussed one of them out, and they told me that the lottery agency will deduct $70,000,000 for my profanity. Bullshit!

I contacted the FBI and they confirmed that these numbers are all from scammers and that they can't do anything since theyre in Jamaica.
Other scamming numbers are: (calls from Mr. James, Patricia Gillett, Michael Chin)

Been getting calls from 876 897 3479 who claims his name is Mike Clark. He claims my mom won 1.3 million dollars and a new car. He claimed he was calling from Cali. when the caller ID says Jamaica call. When I found out about this, I was seriously pissed, because I have been telling these people to F*c* off. He kept calling that day and I finally got so irritated when I found out he wanted my mom to send him 100.00 through a WU to him. He told my mom he was sitting in Dallas and was going to board a plane to Texas. Ummm, Hello, Dallas is in Texas. Ummmm...first off, how did he get from Cali to Dallas in under an hour? Wtf? So when my mom told me about how he wanted her to wire that kind of money to him, I jumped on the phone with him and told him my mother will NOT be sending him no sum of money at all and he can stop calling our house and harrassing us. Well he obviously had a problem with me because he claims I am in his way. Yeah, I am in his way! Im stopping him from scamming my elderly mother! When I told him I knew about his scam, and how going after people like that was poor of him, and how I didn't know how is non-remorseful @ss slept at night and he cut me off saying " Shut up stupid girl and listen to what I am telling you." And I got hot under the collar. I told him " You don't call my house telling me to shut up, and listen to you...you shut up and listen to me, STOP CALLING HERE!" Then he continues to call. Its ridiculous. I have cussed him out so many times and all he does is laugh at me and call me stupid. Been 2 times to the PD and nothing. I just don't know what to do. OH, and he claims his Manager...or what ever is a guy named Don Frazier. Will this ever come to an end? Supposably this Don Frazier is to call me back so I can tell him to tell his scum f*c*s to stop calling. I guess what is left to do is change my phone number.

My elderly father and mother fell for this scam from a Mr. John, ( you will get a good laugh at this ) Obama, nephew of our "wonderful" president.  Didn't tell me about it for 2 days.  Sent 2 Western Union wire transfers to Montego Bay, Jamacia.  When I found out about this, was at the point of threatening to bomb my parents home.  Mr. "Obama" had even discribed their home in detail (Google Earth).  Parents were very afraid.  Reported to local PD, state DLE, and FBI.  Have changed phone #, and cell numbers.  My parents were on my cell account and and started getting calls on my fathers cell 1st, changed that number.  Then started calling on Mom's cell, changed that.  NOW they are calling mine and telling me that my parents are in danger and that I need to move them.  Life has turned into HELL.

My wife has been called 5 times in 2 days by "Charles Rogers" who she tells to stop calling.  All 5 calls were from 876 numbers with different lines....

X2---876-412-3084

Send Emails out!!  tell everyone.... knowledge is power!!!  Once these scams are outed,  they will have to either changeup their plan or fold up shop!!!  It is up to the people like us who can see through this crap!

Yes I agree with all the other blogs. I got my first call around 9:00 this morning and have since been called at least 7 more times. I finally took my phone off the hook. A man identified himself at Peter Brown and asked for a WEstern Union wire in the amount of $300. He later said to send half and someone could be at my house in 1-1/2 hours to pick up the balance. He kept asking if I had cash in the house to pay this amount. He read my correct address. After hanging up he called back to see if I had gone to make the wire transfer. He then said that someone was 30 minutes from my home and could collect it directly from me.

I called the Sheriff Department after the first call, but then called back when he was threatening to have someone come in person to my house. I have since taken my phone off the hook and if this contnues through another day I will be forced to change my telephone number. When he calls he is not only persistant, but won't hang up therefore not allowing me to call out of my own phone.

From this website it looks like these people have been doing this for away. I don't understand why someone cannot do something. Like developing a method of blocking instantly telephone number like we can block websites on the internet.

Hope this stops, good luck to everyone else.

hi,

i never post anything like this but the thought of how these guys are preying on the elderly or people that would fall for this SCAM sickens me.  same thing like other peoples post, these guys call and continually call at all hours continuing to harass my line.  what concerns me is that someone in the US is selling / giving them our numbers.  the reason i know is because whenever i fill out any "junk" forms, i ALWAYS give out the WRONG number by changing the last number.  the guy ("Adam Jones" with a thich jamaican accent) that called me actually called the FAKE number i gave out but then he actually did some research to get the RIGHT number and then he actually told me that he called the wrong number but then looked me up.  (if i ever find out which company gave my number out, i will definitely boycott them and post what they are doing with the info we give to them all over the internet).  but what i am going to do is call the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica and notify them what's going on and that I and all my family members / friends will NEVER travel to Jamaica if they don't put a crack down on this.  Hit them (Jamaica) where it hurts, their TRAVEL and TOURISM POCKET BOOKS!!!  we can't do anything to stop these LOW lives from calling us, then we will hurt the major industry by not going there.  with this threat maybe the Jamaican enforcement will maybe track these people down and put a stop to this.  i know the last place you want to call is Jamaica but if all of us do this maybe they will do something about it.  below is the link and the phone number to the US Embassy in Jamaica, afterall the US Embassy is working for us!!!

There are ENOUGH posts on here describing the PROBLEM. What we need are SOLUTIONS. Obviously the government doesn't feel pressured enough to pursue the issue. The state and local police can't do anything - it is an INTERNATIONAL problem. So here is MY suggestion for a possible creative solution; start bombarding the high profile investigative media outlets, and challenge them to prove how much power they really have by exposing this on a major national / international scale, and see who gets results. Bill O'Reilly says he is always "looking out for the folks", right? CBS' SIXTY MINUTES has tackled bigger issues than this and usually manages to cut through the red tape and BS to get the right authorities involved in many cases. Email these programs and refer them to this website so they can read what is going on themselves. I can almost guarantee that someone will pick up on this and at least TRY to get to the bottom of it. This should and could be a HUGE story that would get HUGE ratings for them - and many new loyal viewers if they succeed in ending the problem somehow by getting involved. I really only found this one site for the problem. I'm sure there may be more, but at first glance it may look like a small problem if only one web site is dedicated to it. Start discussions on other sites too. These people need to be cornered with TV cameras in their faces and Mike Wallace shoving a mic in their faces. The Jamaican government needs to be interviewed so we can all watch their responses, as they know they have to do something about it now it has become a national media event, or else risk losing revenue from boycotting vacationers. Sao Paulo, Brazil has gained a really bad reputation for being a scam capital. I doubt Kingston wants to be regarded in that same light. So start emailing these media outlets. Start with Bill O'Reilly, if you wish to opine... Let's see what these bigshot investigative reporters can do - that our government won't! 

I just got a call from 876-404-6004 and first thought it was strange to be getting a call at 10:30 pm.  I wasn't sure where the area code was from until I searched it on Google and saw a bunch of scams.  Beware!

these idiots are very harassing - they continue to call saying you won some money - their accent is so terrible you can't even understand them - they call you by your first name - def a scam and they need to be stopped

876/442-6277 says you won a prize but when you start to ask questions about the winnings the person (calls himself a preacher) starts yelling and cussing and trys to belittle my wife.

I got this call on my cell phone. I had just won first prize from Global International Sweepstakes $450,000.

The guy's name was David Brentwood. Wanted me to pay the handling fees or whatever. I asked him to fax me a copy of the check. He did. It was on a Wachovia Bank. I called Wachovia and they ran the check and of course "fake".

This was the first of these calls that I have ever received but this guy kept callng back. I can't believe that something can not be done about this.

I have been called by these numbers all the time, I turned it over to the US Secret Service the numbers are: 876-437-5447,876-467-1437,876-847-5609, they say that i won 8.5 million dollars, and they have a package to be picked up, and they will call back. I did a reverse look-up on the phone and found it from "Jamica" Kingston,the phone company is "Mossel" LTD. the info is now turned over to the S.S. and I left a message in regards to the calls.

MY boyfriend and I have recieved several phone calls from a "Mr. Johnson" from the times of 7am to 10pm, for about a week now. "Mr, Johnson" told us that I had won $200,000.00 from a Wal-Mart sweepstakes. In order to recieve my check, I had to send $350.00 Western Union to an adress in Jamaica. He then said when the UPS man came to deliver my check, the UPS man would reimburse my $350.00. ( I'm sure the UPS man does NOT carry around a checkbook handing out $$) I told him not to call my house again, I did not want any package, and told him to give my winnings to someone else, and I hung up the phone. Not 3 seconds later the phone rang and it was "Mr. Johnson" again. We stopped answering the phone, but he kept calling. We contacted Consumer Fraud, and NY District Attorney. Neither of which helped. They told us to ignore the phone calls. But how can you when they call 16-20 times a day? WE then contacted the NY State Police. They came to our house, and told us there was nothing they could do because this man was in Jamaica, adn even if they could find him, they would NOT extradite him to the U.S. to charge him with harassment. The police told us to call the phone company and have the # blocked. However, the phone company can not block a # that is not private. Because "Mr. Johnson" reveals his # there is no way to stop the # from calling. THe phone company then trasferred me to a company called New Star, which is an annoyance/harassing phone call company. After being on hold for 25 minutes, I left a message, and have not recieved a phone call back. Then when the phone rang at 6:54 this morning, my boyfriend had really had enough with this man and gave him a piece of his mind, in some not-so-nice words. HE waited a couple of hours, but has still called back. We are hoping to hear from this New Star company and have these calls stopped. The # that this man is calling from is 876-460-9363 Our advice is DO NOT GIVE IN!!! If you have truly won a sweepstakes you DO NOT have to pay to recieve your winnings!!!

My 87 year old aunt has gotten a dozen or so calls from these folks today. I talked to them and here is the info I got. I have reported them to the Attorney General's office in North Carolina. "Mr. Johnson" wanted $210.00 IMMEDIATELY via moneygram for her to claim her $250,000.00 in "found money" - sent to Mr. Henry Rose WI Montego Bay, Jamica Company ID# 1876 - telephone 1-876-566-4817. Gold Rush Company. They have called her several times since this conversation. They started calling her last week.

My brother and I have spent the day trying to get my mother to understand these guys are scammers. I only heard of these calls about a week ago from my father. Mom had promised she was not talking to them anymore. Saturday she promised she was not sending money or talking with them. Yesterday I was alerted she was on her way to the Western Union to send them $300. All of her banks located in our area were notified not to let her cash checks. I took all of their phones out of the house when I came home from work. Mom was not a happy camper. This is a woman that was with the same bank for 34 years retiring as Vice President of same. Today at work I get a call on her cell phone that was in my possession from "The Jamacian". He knew it wasn't my mother. I told him his scam was going down hill with my Mom because she wasn't in control of her $ anymore and had no phones. When I told him he must hate it when family gets involved. he must have been pissed because he told me he wished he could stick his big fat d*** in my mouth to shut me up. I told him that would be hard to do since he was d***less and was probably the size of a pinhole for being such low life scum that he had to steal $ from innocent people and he would rot in hell. Needless to say, she was milked out of $1900.00, my parents phone # they have had for over 40 years has now been changed to a private # and Mom's cell has been cancelled. We have to go thru her mail now before she can have it. She is not very happy with me at the moment, but in my heart I know I have done the right thing. WARN EVERYBODY you know not to pick up calls that are from 876 area code!!!!!!!!!

876-567-9971 is the number used to scam my 89 year old dad. I caught him trying to give his debit card number. So, it's gone along with his credit cards and check book. I feel bad doing this, but it's for his safety and my piece of mind. I also have the phone and answering machine. Thank goodness for cell phones and thanks for these posts. Now, I dread to see his phone bill. These people should be shot at sunrise or prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The SPPD and the Attorney General's office just offered advice.

Phone #: 1-876-863-7076
Person: James Taylor

Don't be fooled.

This time they f***ed with the wrong Polak!

Just got a call on my cell phone from "Publishers Clearing House," to tell me I was the latest California winner, and they tried to deliver $750,000 to my home yesterday. He then read my home address, which was correct. He asked me how I felt about winning and then instructed me to call 876.486.4855 to claim the prize by advising when I would be home to receive it.
I called my cell phone carrier to see if I would be charged for the incoming call, and they posted a note in the account to flag any billing from that number.
This appears to be a new number, not listed above. They also left a voice mail.

I have been getting calls for 2-3 years now on my business line!
I get called from 876-528-6700. I have been cursed at and everything else.
He told me I won 2 million dollars and I told him I had the Brooklyn Bridge for sale.
Another time he told me he wanted to get to know me and I told he can meet my husband who is a cop (lie). Then he told me he was an FBI agent and gave me a fake badge number.

I have called AT&T and they won't do anything about it because it's in Jamaica. The phone company keeps saying call the police department and the police department keeps saying call the phone company. The local police said the only thing I could do was file a restraining order for someone in Jamaica, what a joke! Called the FBI and FBI told me to call the US Consulate in Jamaica!

IT IS USELESS TO ASK THE AUTHORITIES FOR HELP- ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WASTED US TAX DOLLARS!!!

Hello everyone; I to have had the same story's as you in regards to this Jamaica scam, My lord it has been going on now for 3 weeks, just yesterday i won 5 Million, last week i won 8+Million,& just today, i won !.5 million, Oh but they tell me first i must pay a fee of $375.00 to receive a gold seal of proof that i am said owner of said winnings! This guy even offered to pay half for me, Another time he said we could set up a payment plain! wasn't that nice of them, Now tell me since when do you pay for something you win? Yes We pay Tax's!! but not what these jerks are stating, here are some PH# that I have to share with all to be aware of, & guess what? they all start with, (876){(876) 482-2323 {(876)284-9243 { (876)463-5326 {(876)398-3502 {(876)426-7041, I have recordings,/ Names/& states also if they can help let me know & i will report them too ! with this said PLEASE ! be aware these are all SCAMS! & I pray by my reporting this PH#NO they may help stop these low life's! God Bless & keep us all safe!
Sincerely;
the one whom got away

My elderly mother was taken for a ride with this scam, they stated that they were with the "Winners Circle", these guys worked her over real good. Here are the names and phone numbers so you won't be next. 1. "Tom" (unk last name) at (876)550-5555. 2. Mark Fields at (876)401-3860 and 3. James Williams (who says he is with the IRS) is at 1-(876)-859-6076. The last guy was brilliant, he told her to change her phone number and she would have her money the very next day "imangine that". He stated to her he was with the IRS Claims Service in Jamaica (how quaint, an IRS in Jamaica!!). Hopefully my "wish" or "curse" (however you would like to see it) will come true for these guys!!!!!
The !@#$$%$%%^$$%%%^%%% JERKS!!!!!!

money promise if i sent $ 320 for Delevery fee. the phone number is 876-479-3228.

I have found myself in the middle of a scam - having contacted some of the ppl involved on the same side as me I'm fully aware of how STUPID I was but would like to try to warn others!
these are phone numbers given to me by these guys:

Mr Adams 876-478-1873
Mr Taylor 509-723-2579
names given to me by these people are "Global International" and "Mega Million Corp." can't find anything good about either!

The only reason I bought the possibility is that my dad has entered sweepstakes as a "hobby" for many years and I foolishly thought that "finally he won!" He is 89 and now impaired and unable (Thank GOD!) to participate.

Not sure I yet know all the ramifications of this but I feel compelled to offer warning to NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MONEY TO ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY!!!!!

This one said she was calling from Greece!
302 753 031001

Well,
I've been receiving calls on my cell phone over the past few months coming from Jamaica. I've never picked up the calls, until today. It was a man with a heavy accent telling me I had won a lottery of $500,000 to be delivered to my home today at 5p.m. He wanted to make sure I was going to be home. I obviously laughed and asked further questions. He said that he was affiliated with the Wynn in Las Vegas Nevada. In fact, he was calling from the Wynn in Montego Bay Jamaica. He was offering the money as well as a few nights at the Las Vegas Wynn. When I asked him what the catch was, he said that I needed to pay a tax fee and wire it to a merchant banker in Montego Bay in the amount of $750. He went so far as to give me the name (Kingsley Thompson) and the address and phone numbers beginning with 876 to which I was to send the money.

I obviously declined and then called the Wynn in Las Vegas to get more info. They told me that there is no Wynn in Jamaica! Thanks to Google and your site, I was able to understand this scam and warn friends.

Hi all. So today, my mother handed me the phone to talk to some man who I couldn't understand his accent very much. He had said he was from the "Wells Fargo Bank" and that my mother won a prize for $350,000 and a new 2009 Toyota Camry. My mom having financial problems got so worked up and started believing everything this man had said. In the beginning, I sort of thought it was real since he assured me that this has been on the news and it was some "Golden" something prize drawing. Claiming that my mom swiped her credit cards at grocery stores and paid her taxes and that is why she was in the drawing. The man who was talking to me in the beginning was my agent who had a heavy accent of some sort telling me to pay a "Federal Tax Duty Fee" (which doesn't even show up of a definition on google) of $400 to Western Union to an IRS Agent named Daryl Reid in New York. Now as I googled the address, google told me it was an apartment complex. The phone numbers were 1-876-571-5083 and 1-876-463-2596. The address was 2033 Seagirt Blvd Far Rockaway NY 11691.

The agent had also told me that once I paid the fee, I would keep the receipt and send them the confirmation code on my receipt and then my prize will come the next day at 9 am. Afterwards, I had called the manager and he said it would come at 6 p.m the next day, so it wasn't the same time at all. They reassured me that I can see this on the news on ABC Local News and that there are things like this can happen and my mom was the lucky winner. But I so glad I went online to do some research and found this site! Thank you to all of you who keep others posted about these scams.

My stepfather has been getting scammed and I finally got the number of the caller. When I did a reverse lookup it comes back as Mossel (jamaica) LTD Which is a a communication company and legitimate. I think they are using Mossels old number. when I did a pay for details on search US they were not able to come up with details I am afraid to call the number for fear of reverse charges since it is an 876. The number is 1-876-424-5077 . can anyone help ?

i recevieved a call similar to the others that were posted...
the ladies name was GLORIA HENDERSON.....
the address she gave me was 14 market st. JA-WI
the other name given was LENEISH DAWNKINS
watch out everyone.....

I called the 876 number just to mess with them I asked her if it came with a box of didos! She said she knew nothing of any dildos!

Over the weekend I received several calls from this person who claims to be from UPS out of Daytona Beach FL. He confirms my name and where I live, I think this a true call from UPS because I am actually waiting delivery from UPS for some packages. THEN he proceeds to say I am a valued customer because I pay my bills on time, shop at Target, Dillards, Macy's etc. of which I don't shop at. I said there was no way that this person could be from UPS because if he was then he wouldn't need to know where I shop or pay my bills on time. Most of the calls come in unavailable or restricted but has popped up with the 876- area code. I notified UPS of this scam ----- Beware charges will appear on your phone bill. Now I have to fight with my cell carrier about the charges.

His phone number is 876-505-9444. He preys on older women in the southeast. I will continually block this monster from my mother and her friends phones. I hope that scumbag can live with his conscience. He's going straight to hell!

I have been pounded relentlessly by someone claiming to send me a $2 mill check. After many interruptions to my work day, I scorned him not to call again but decided to try to get more info, knowing full well this is a scam. He gave me 2 numbers, 876-396-6764 where I could talk to his boss Mr. John Smith (right!). The second number was for the CEO of the company 876-842-7582. I have not called them knowing about this scam, also have called a local news station in case they want to follow up. The sad thing is that i live in Miami and one of the area codes aside from 305 is 786. He claims that this money was coming from Switzerland, from the Bill Gates funds company and my phone number was pulled out of a Christmas lottery and that he works for a company called IPS International Postal Services. I Googled that name and came up with a company out of Virginia with an 800 number. Not suspecting they are any part of this, I left a message with them that someone is using their name.

the number that they called me from is 876-351-9356,876-846-2293, and from 876-301-4092

please do not call any 876 numbers because it is a scam. they want you to send money.

A man calling himself Tom Riley 876-291-1696 (showed up on caller id as JM Kingston) My husband won 2.5 million dollars. Said he was from the claims Department of the Winners International, and needed to get his check to him today. Wanted to know what time he would be home or could he reach him at another number. But, since I was his wife, and the beneficiary of the 2.5 million he could deliver the check to me, and asked would I be avaible today to recieve the check. I told him to wait until my husband got home. He wants my husband to return his call, so he can deliver his 2.5 million dollar check. This caller recited my Address. Scary when you have someone on the phone from Jamaica that knows where you live. Public Beware!!!

Hey, Son of Scam, nice to see your are still "Fighting the God Fight" here. I see these scum's audience has grown quite tremendously since the last time I was here. They have finally got to the point with my brother of posing as the FBI and wanting to help him recover his money, however guess what he has to do before they can help. Yup, send money.

Any of these names sound familiar to anyone?
Shawn Brady, Peter James, (says he is from Oakland, CA) John Lopez, Owen Cooper whom I have spoke with myself, Frank Perry, Earthy Smith or Richard Francis? Mr. Francis is the guy who will help get his money back. Yeah, right.

Anyway, I wrote to the Department of Justice back in May and received the following response yesterday.

Thank you for your e-mail, dated May 7, 2009, to the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, regarding fraudulent schemes you refer to as "Jamaicanhttp://www.pharmaurope.com http://www.sustaon250.org http://www.eastdelivery.biz http://www.dsg-trade.com scams." You described a number of experiences with the scammers and the various contacts and responses you have made.

The Department of Justice considers mass-marketing fraud (including cyberfraud and telemarketing fraud) among its priority concerns. The Department continues to combine criminal prosecution with coordinated analysis and investigation as part of a comprehensive approach to combating mass-marketing fraud. We routinely undertake and support criminal prosecutions throughout the country against individuals and groups engaging in various types of mass-marketing fraud. We also continue to develop threat and vulnerability information based on the nature and scope of the problem through coordination with the Federal Trade Commission; foster the development of investigative and analytical resources to identify and investigate mass-marketing fraud schemes by supporting the Internet Crime Complaint Center and the National White Collar Crime Center; foster liaison relationships and coordinate referral procedures with other federal agencies; and provide an ongoing program of public education and prevention on mass-marketing fraud, including encouraging the private sector to use technological solutions to prevent frauds, and expanding public-private prevention efforts. In addition, the Department chairs mass-marketing fraud working groups with members from federal law enforcement and regulatory agencies and their international counterparts. These working groups, which meet regularly to coordinate on important mass-marketing issues, have achieved several accomplishments, including a secure communications network for law enforcement and regulatory partners to share important sensitive and case-related information. These coordination efforts facilitate communications among federal prosecutors, the Department and other federal, state, local and foreign law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

The information you provided indicates that you apparently have contacted United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) with respect to certain scams. USPIS is the federal law enforcement agency with primary responsibility for investigating fraudulent schemes conducted via the United States mail. You may, therefore, wish to report your specific concerns, now or in the future. The USPIS determines, when it receives a complaint, whether a federal investigation is warranted. You can contact the USPIS by mailing correspondence to Criminal Investigations Service Center, Attn: Mail Fraud, 222 S. Riverside Plaza, Suite 1250, Chicago, IL 60606-6100.

A mail fraud complaint form can also be filed online at www.usps.com/postalinspectors/fraud/MailFraudComplaint .

You may also wish to submit your complaints to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). IC3 is a joint project of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National White Collar Crime Center. IC3 was established as a clearinghouse for criminal complaints relating to the Internet and serves as a means to receive, analyze, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cybercrime. Although the IC3 does not promise each complainant that it will open a criminal investigation on a complaint, it will review the information you provide, determine whether it may relate to other complaints filed with the IC3, and refer this matter to an investigative agency if appropriate. You can submit complaints regarding suspicious e-mails and websites to the IC3 online at www.ic3.gov .

In addition, since the communications you have received may have originated outside the United States, you may also want to file a complaint with econsumer.gov, a joint project created in 2001 by law enforcement agencies in 21 countries to respond to multinational Internet fraud. The site provides general information about consumer protection in all countries that belong to the International Consumer Protection Enforcement Network, contact information for consumer protection authorities in those countries, and an online complaint form. Complaints can be filed with www.econsumer.gov by filling out their online complaint form at http://www.econsumer.gov/english/index.html . The information in complaints submitted to www.econsumer.gov is shared with consumer protection law enforcement agencies in participating countries.

Finally, you have mentioned the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in your correspondence. The FBI is the investigative arm of the Department of Justice, upon which we rely to do the initial fact-finding in federal criminal cases. If you believe you have evidence of a federal crime, you may want to contact your nearest FBI office. The FBI will determine if a federal investigation is warranted and may, if appropriate, refer the matter to a U.S. Attorney's Office for a final determination regarding legal action. You can contact the FBI office in San Francisco, California by writing to 450 Golden Gate Avenue, 13th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102, by calling (415) 533-7400, or online at http://sanfrancisco.fbi.gov http://sanfracisco.fbi.gov .

Thank you for seeking our assistance.

Hope this is helpful,

Hey there. Got a strange call from my mother today. She was in a panic, saying I needed to do her a favor and wire $700 through MoneyGram or Western Union. She said she had won some money and had talked to an IRS agent and that is what she had to do to claim her money. Then she said something about the money going to Jamaica. I told her it sounded like a scam and wanted to know what the name of the company was. She said it was Gold Rush International Limited. I typed it into Google and it immediately came up with a couple of scam claims. I even read her some of them. I told my mom it was a scam, but she told me she was already too deep into this to get out now. She was going through with it and if I wouldn't help her, she would find someone else who would. She keeps insisting it's not a scam. Hung up on my twice. Now ... she wouldn't tell me what was going on before, but she's had her number changed several times this year because she was getting threatening phone calls. I would bet anything it was the same people. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this Gold Rush International Limited and if it is indeed a scam. Also, if anyone has any idea how to talk some sense into her. I'm scared for her. We don't live close to each other, so it's not like I can go over to her house and talk to her about it.

Here is another number to watch out for 1-876-567-9988. They used two different names George Blake and George Brown. Called and said that I won 1.5 million dollars. Claimed to be out of Las Vegas but really from Jamica. Claims to be with the Gold Rush. Send a fee of ONLY 350 and recieve the money gave an address of 14 Barneet St, St James JA-WI. I DID NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM- DO NOT SEND MONEY TO THIS PERSON.

My disabled uncle has been getting these calls fom this no. 876-281-0530 and they want him to send $500.00 bucks to a Bishopville, SC through Western Union to James Sams. Afterwards they would route him $18,000,000.00! WoW, I mean like thats awesome. So he told me about it. So I decide to call them myself, got a jamacain on the phone, I told him I couldnt understand him and for him to put his manager on the phone. He did, but it was him with a slightly deeper voice, so I tell him I prefer to speak to a female....up oohh... so he puts me on hold for 5 minutes...comes back using his woman voice, I mean this guy should try out for American Idol THE NUMBER AGAIN IS 1 876 2810530

Got a call from the above #...was told by a heavily accented Jamaican male that "US Customs" had $750K that we had to claim as prize winnings. After my initial WTF moment, I listened on and he said that we had to call 1-876-507-6719 to "claim the prize." I asked him if he was a member of the Goldman Sachs team... assumedly looking to fleece taxpayers out of even more $. ;) He said: "no no, i'm not from them...the prize is with US Customs" LOL. Idiot.
I told him to be careful, that the Government was monitoring the call and there would probably be a black OPS helicopter circling over his location shortly. Muuwwaahaaaa.

Actually, I feel kind of slighted...I was only offered $750K while others are being offered Millions! What am I, chopped liver?

I just received a call from a very heavily accented person telling me that I had just been granted 5m and that the taxes have been taken out already (how nice of them) and that they would be personally delivering it and even had my address and some personal information. I had two choices for delivery; public which would include camera crews and reporters and their attorney and I needed to dress formal for that, or private, which of course was limited public awareness to protect my privacy. I chose public and the person was not happy with that. Then they started telling me that I needed to meet them at the airport at customs because they could not release the check unless I had a verified account number so I needed a cashiers check to do this. Blah, blah, blah. I told them I did not trust them and they called back twice, the first time leaving a message the second time none. They also said they were called the Monaco corporation or something like that and they were coming from Vegas, but then of course why would they need to go through customs.

I received a call from 876-386-3448 today. The caller was a black male with an accent that he was obviously trying to mask by talking mono toned. He told me that I had won 1.5 million and that it was deposited into my account. I then asked how do you know my account number and which bank do I bank with. He then asked me if I had heard of a bank called CB. I told him no and that that wasn't any bank that I had ever heard of. He said do you know of every bank in America? I told him no but that wasn't a bank in or around my state. He told me that it was a bank in Michigan. Don't he know that you can look that type of thing up on the Internet? Well anyway, I let him go on, but I am very cynical of everyone so he really didn't have a chance. I asked him what type of information did he need and he told me nothing but my ID with my name on it. Then he asked me how did I feel to have won that much money. I told him scammed. He tried to assure me that it was legit and like I said, I am very cynical. So, I kept questioning him about it and everything and he eventually hung up. I guess anything to try to scam and make a dime out of the innocent. Luckily I don't use my real name on my phone numbers or who knows what other information they could have gotten. I mean what do they do buy our numbers?

I too am receiving phone calls stating UPS will come to my door with a rep of a company that will have a check for 4 million. But first I must send a check for $4000 24 hrs in advance for a "gold" varification stamp. Do I have "stupid" stamped by my phone #, or what? This guy is using phone #876 882 2094. My google search comes back to Mossel (Jamicia) LTD, located in De Valls Bluff, Kingston Jamicia . The next time he calls I am going to report his little game to the FBI, "again"------------

My father got a call 8:00 am from this man named Mr. Ford. Telling him he won 4 million dollars. My father is a ball buster. he knew it was a scam but he wanted to play with this Jamican man Mr. Ford. He told my father he needed to go to Western Union and wire him $499.00 and give him the tracking number and the money will come. My father said I got the western union slip he asking for the PCP number. My father told the scam man since I won 4 million dollars he will give him $4,000. This guy kept calling and calling everyday. My father asking him how can he send him his money. My father was stalling this guy for hours and my father refuse to give him tracking number my father said you want your money. I need your address, My father kept calling the scam man back telling him I want my money. My father called the scam man as if he was a bill collector. LOL. I CALLED THE SCAM MAN ASKING WHERES THE MONEY MY FATHER WON. HE HU ON ME.. I CALLED HIM BACK AND TOLD HIM I SKIP TRACED HIM. TO WATCH OUT IM GOING TO GET HIM... STOP CALLING PEOPLE!!

I had a Mr. Don McCoy call me at work stating that I had won 3.5 million dollars and a 2009 BMW in a random raffle held by the Fortune 500 group. I was asked to deposit $210 in an account for an Arthur Stoltz in Arizona via wiring from my checking account. Like a dummy, I did it. The $210 was for opening the account. He then calls me on today, Friday, August 7th, 2009 and says that I need to send more money, due to a technicality, via Western Union because the banks transactions take too much time to clear. BOGUS!!! I am a hard-working mother of one who does not appreciate her time or money being wasted. Hint to the wise these crooks are official! Mr. McCoy spoke with an accent and called from 876-856-7972.

876-882-8936 they are all scammers and we also called bbb and they are not even a accredited company...sigh they have no lives..

Here's yet ANOTHER number to add to the list 876-504-3168. My elderly Father took a call from a Mr. Green at this number telling him to send $300 to his account and NOT to talk to anyone but him. Of course I have control over his finances and such so he didn't give them any information. I wrote down the phone number from the caller ID and realized it was coming from the West Indies. How the hell do we stop these Rasta Head scammers?? I told my Father NOT to answer anymore phone calls unless he recognizes the name. There's GOT to be some way to stop these bastards.

My mother got a call from someone claiming to be Omar Jansen today. She was to call 876-583-1222. He provided a UPS package # (invalid number), bank account # (bank name curriously absent), etc... all in an effort to prove that he was legit. He said that she won 8 million related to Publisher's Clearing House and that this package was coming to her. He spoke with heavy accent but because his name was Omar, my mother thought he was arab. Anyway, thank goodness she did not provide any information or give money to this person. She called me immediately and I did a google search which lead to your postings. Thank you for your postings. I wish there was some way to catch and stop these assholes. My heart aches when I think about the way the elderly are prayed upon by these truely evil people.

By the way, "These Bastards" - you are hillarious! I had a great laugh reading your postings. Unfortunately it isn't really funny in the end, is it. Still, its nice to get a little healthy laughter to relieve the anxiety these people cause.

Be carefull with that numbers 876-597-0184 and 876-283-2917 they are scammers trying roub you !!!!!!!!!!!

What you also can do is get another friend or a coworker on that speaks a different language and tell them that you have a business trip down there that your going to cancell and boycott on the news.

Be nice to them. We have them claim the IRS, FBI, etc. Come on now its useless.

Okay, my parents get these calls but at least it stopped.

Tell them the person moved and that the phone call is being wire tapped for fraud.

Don't give your name out and make sure you call the phone company to find out how much the charges are.

As soon as I seen Jamaica, I knew what it was.

DOn't curse them out. They will keep back at you if you do curse.

Just tell them wrong number and eventually it will stop. They disguise voices. I know this. I can also imitiate wrestlers voices so they don't know who is on the other line.

Tell them that someone will call their govt and that anyone going to Jamaica they will boycott. Good point.

Whatever you do, have someone else tell them the person moved to out of state and that they have to speak to a lawyer about that.

Staff,

When I GOOGLED Kingsley Thompson, his name came up as being on your site. It was his name that was involved in a Jamaican Scam of a friend.

I wanted to cut and paste this name to show my friend that he is being taken ~ exact match [KINGSLEY THOMPSON MONTEGO BAY but I could not find it in any of the complaints.

Shalom!
bob

i just want to make a comment on how sad this is my mother has early on set of altziemers and she has been believing these people for more than 3 yrs we just recently have made a break through because of this sight she now believes us it's just sad that someone on the other end of a line that she has never seen could have that much power over my mom i'm talking about a woman who was dealing with the federal gov. for over 28 yrs that was her job. about 5 yrs ago they would never have gotten her to believe something like this. She has just grown lonely since my father has been gone i hope you all who are apart of this rot in hell. If i would ever find out i have my ways and have already begun a process of my own to find out so i just wanted to say how sad it is.

Just another try from abroad. This guy takes several minutes to tell me I've won 5.5 million dollars fro Gold Strike Casino in Vegas.I just hung up and haven't heard back YET. I'm sure I will. Is there any sense in trying to report these guys? I hope eventually that they make some "Good Fellows" very mad using their business names. I think that would be the only way to stop them... lead poisoning...hehe. Anyway, if someone could let me konow if there is any reporting agency that cares, then I will forward the info to them. The number on the caller ID is 676-866-4864.
Thanks

Do you suppose that the officials in Jamaica would change their laws to not allow exhorbinant incoming call prices if all of the sudden all the tourism from America dried up? Maybe a year of no tourists would make their government take some action.

OMG! It's getting nuts! We receive calls from these 876 #'s every few days and if you hang up on them, they immediately call back! (876-596-8692; 876-868-1068; 876-898-8476; 876-592-0915; 876-485-7185). The first time we listened to what was said, and we were told that he was with UPS and they had an insurance check for us and need the address to deliver it. If we didn't give them mailing info, our insurance check would be donated to charity! Well, for one, they cannot donated anything like that to anyone. If it could not be delivered, it would be returned to sender. What was even crazier is that we WERE awaiting a check from our insurance company! Then I find out the area code was from Jamaica! So, the next few received calls, they were told, "You're a scam. Kiss my a**!" and immediately after haning up, they call back! They have even went as far as when the call is answered, saing to us, "Do you remember me?" What is a person to do?!?

876-839-1662
This was the number we could decipher from the garbled message left on our answering machine. A heavily accented man left a message that we had a check from Publisher's Clearing House waiting for us and to call him back at that number.

The # is 876-474-5385 the name given was David Cosqantin.
I asked, "where are you calling from?"
He replied, "Connecticut."
I googled the # and and saw it was Kingston.
Just another number for the list for fyi.
cheers,
EMU

"Anonymous name, anonymous number" with a Jamaican accent called my home number today. He didn't know my name or address, but said UPS would be delivering a cashier's check. They'd deliver it, that is, as soon as I called the above number and provided my "claim number" and "prize number," which he was happy to give me. As with one of the previous posters' experience, my guy told me to call 876-887-1752, then someone in the background yelled "Four!" so he changed it to -1754. Yeah, that seems legit.

A "Tom Richman" called looking for me but my grandmother answered. He claimed I had won $250,000 dollars and he was calling from Las Vegas. (Atleast she thinks so, his accent was really thick.) Then she hung up on him and called my mother, who called him back pretending to be me. He told her I won a different but equally unbelievable prize. The she called his bluff, telling him she knew he was a scam because no legit "prize company" would call asking for a 12 year old (though I'm really 18). She told him never to call again. "Tom" now pissed off told my mom "I'll call this number whenever I F@#king want to and has been calling nonstop for the last 3 hours.

We really need to find out how they're getting our info...

We received a call today claiming that there was a package that UPS was trying to deliver to us and that they needed to verify the name and address. The claim was that the delivery einformation was gone and all that remained was the phone number. About 6 times they (he) called back. The first time the man (heavy accent, barely intelligible) also claimed that we had won a BMW and cash and that all we had to do was go to a local Western Union and send money. We hung up before the amount was known and then he kept calling back. He said something about international prize or lottery and mantioned Las Vegas and even something about books we had ordered. I asked him the information about the company sending the "package" but could not understand him. He asked if I wanted him to contact the company and have them call me, I said yes. Guess what, the SAME MAN called back stating that he understood that there was a problem and if we had received our package yet. I called him out on the fact that he was the same man I was talking to 5 min ago and he defiently stated that he wasn't. (By the way, the "company representative" called back less than a minute after he told me he'd contact the company for me). So I told him a little white lie about caller ID and if they called back I'd call the police... He then finally said goodbye...

PS.. sorry if my spelling is off...

I just received a call from Jamaica (847) from a man asking to speak to me & when I asked what it was regarding, he said I won a check for $285K. I asked how that happend, and he then stated that my info was entered into a database when I used my debit/credit card at any Walmart, Kmart, etc. I was selected as the 3rd place winner of their contest. He then preceded to ask me a few more basic questions (such as if my address was still current, was I married, & do I have grown children). He then gave me a claim #, a check #, and a phone # to call to claim my prize. After all of that was said and done, he then asked me how I felt about winning the prize, in which I stated that I was skeptical. He then congratulated me for my prize winnings, and reminded me to call (876) 386-3448 ( he originaly started to say 876-5 and then stated that he messed up! Very credible, huh?). The first thing I did after I hung up the phone was google the info I jotted down, which led me here.

My family has been receiving these calls from "John Green" and his supervisor's name was "Kevin Palmer". The number I received a call on first was listed as "Jamaica Call" and 876-492-1877, then we received many calls from "private name, private number" from the same person, asking my elderly mother "Do you know who this is?", shortly followed by her telling him that she told him not to call anymore, and then I took the phone and told him the FCC would be receiving a complaint and that he would be reported to his local authorities. When I said this, I received the reply of "Shut the F*&$& up" screamed in my ear multiple times. haha, these people have no life.

I'm working on a routine just to piss them off for next time. Bring it on, Mr Green. Anyone thought about playing a recording of the "the number you have dialed is no longer in service" message using a tape or digital recorder right after picking up the call, every time they call?

a man called telling me i won a 2009 mercedes benz+2.5million dollars

I just received a call saying that at 3:30 a white limo will pull up in my driveway with a federal marshall, two armed guards from western union and the CEO of the co. and present me with a check for 2.5 million. The callers name was "John Brown" and his no. 876.395.3554. The no. on my caller ID was 786.432.8613. "John" has a very foul mouth as I and my husband continued to drill him on the particulars, he said that I was being a F#%*@#$ A$$ Hole and at another point called me a total B@*%&. There were other things said but I think you get the picture. He insisted that I go to Wal Mart - to Western Union and send $99.99 processing fee and then the while limo would appear at my house. HA! Oh the CEOs name "Ron Lyle Robinson" but regretably I didn't catch the name of the company. I asked where the CEO was located at this time and he said Chicago.... that makes it all the more wild because I live a lot farther than 3 hours from Chicago even by plane. OH John also is a millionaire himself - if he should call you please ask him for me what a millionaire is doing making these calls. I just couldn't get it in before he finally hung up on me.

Like a lot of other people on here I have parents who have been scammed by these ruthless people. In fact they still believe the scammers and not my sister or myself and STILL persist in sending them money. At this point they have sent well over $100,000.00. They have been cut off from Western Union and Money Gram but still find ways to send cash. I finally got fed up with talking and just went to Jamaica to confront these bastards myself. I've just returned only 2 days ago and I can say that the Jamaican Constabulary Force in Montego Bay is doing everything they can to stop this. The biggest problem is that there are over 5,000 criminals and only a handful of officers in the Fraud Squad. The biggest thing you can do to help them is to e-mail ANY contact names and numbers you have to Detective's Frater and Pinnock to area1fraud@yahoo.com. If you can get your hands on ANY receipts from Western Union or Money Gram with pickup locations or Names on them PLEASE make copies and fax them to (876) 940-0420 Attn Detective Pinnock. I'm not giving up on this! I'm going back in a couple of weeks with more documents and to talk to the Dept. of Homeland Securities in Kingston. I have spent a week with these Detectives in the Fraud Squad and met with Ministers of Parliament there and they are honestly trying as hard as they can to put an end to this. All of you need to call the Dept. of Homeland Securities and DEMAND that they step up and give MORE help to these Detectives. These scams fall under their jurisdiction since the money being sent is widely used to fund terrorist operations against the U.S.A. I hope that together we can put an end to this ring of thieves!

I got a call similar to the ones described above. The man requested that I call 876-872-4141 to claim my prize of 2 1/2 million dollars. I did not call it but it seems pretty obvious that it is another one of these scams. I hope no one falls for it.

just got a call from a lady telling me I had won the European Lottery of some sort and would soon receive 250,000 lottery cash winnings and a 2009 BMW. Of course I was extremely skeptical since I didnt remember entering any such sweepstakes so I asked how I was selected and she said, if you have ever had a Mastercard, Visa, American Express or Discover card and have used it at any of the following retailers, WalMart, Target, so on and so forth, i automatically was entered through use of my card... I call BS!! that is the most random stuff I have ever heard... EVER! The scary thing is that she had my address... im sure I filled something out online where I provided this info. Plan to be more cautious moving forward... anyways, I asked if i could call back and she gave me this number 8764179067... SO BEWARE!!!! again 8764179067... also FYI... not planning on calling her back. LOL! :)

I received a call and a message. The message said I had 1 million dollars in a bank! LMAO, I am unemployed! The 2 numbers are 876 433-8819, 876 507-6701. I reported them to the Do Not Call Registry.

you can add 876-561-7247 to the list though it appears to me after skimming through several months worth of comments that ANY 876 number is to be held suspect. My mother in law, age 84, was contacted by "Mr Paul" last fall, was fed the "package" line, and that all she needed to do was send a sum of several hundred dollars through WU to allegedly cover "insurance fees" in order to claim her $2.5 million dollar prize. Thankfully she referred "Mr. Paul" to us (my husband & I) and we saw through the scam immediately. No money was lost, but they continued to harass her for nearly two weeks, sometimes calling two or three times a day. They are nothing if not persisitent! The calls finally stopped and we figured it was over.....not so! Yesterday "Mr. Paul" was back at it again -this time offering the $2.5 million and an new Mercedes! Again my mother in law referred him to us and again we refused to fall for it. We can only hope they won't call back again, but just so you know - THESE PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE UP!!! If they don't manage to hook you the first time, they're quite content to wait several months and then try again.

A woman called my cell phone a short while ago from 876-432-3222 and said, "I saw you today and you looked so sweet". I said, "What?" and she repeated the phrase. Here two mistakes were 1) I haven't left my house all day, and 2) I'm a straight female. LOL. She got frustrated and hung up after I blew a whistle in her ear. I called T-Mobile to have them see if they could trace the number and they said it's Jamaica, and it's on their list of scammers. I tried to Google the number, but it doesn't come up; I used Bing and found out that it's a cell phone. They try to provoke you into calling them back. I warned my daughter; when I was her age I would have called back and cussed her out! Age + wisdom probably saved me a fortune!

Add 876-435-7251 to the list of scamming numbers. Just got a call today 6-14-09 saying that the person who had my phone number just won 10 million. Bastards! You could easily tell it was a scam though. Don't know anyone these days who believes that they have won a contest or can help someone and get millions for it. Stupid. You gotta work hard in this life. Nothing is for free.

Just answered yet another phone call from these fraudulent LOST people in Kingston, Jamaica! Said I was the "Michigan State Police". Definitely threw this guy for a loop! He said he was in Michigan and looking for Mayville. I said "how can you be in Michigan with a Jamaican area code?" He stumbled around for an answer ... I told him to use MapQuest to find Mayville ... he hung up! Hopefully they won't bug us again ... at least for a while! They've been preying on our 90yr. old father who truly thinks its an important phone call and that he has won something! We've asked them to stop calling, but they persist ... with a new number each time. Don't fall for these BOZOS!!! Eventually they will stop calling ... hopefully!

As the son of an Advance Fee fraud victim, I have been frustrated at every turn by authorities telling me there's nothing they can do, to stop this despicable crime. I am glad to report that a group of officials in Minnesota are unsatisfied with this state of affairs, and are taking action.

My caller ID showed the name CB Kingston. The number was: 876-439-3545. This fellow has called before and asked for my husband. My husband told him "expletive deleted" and hung up. The scammer actually called back again and asked my husband "why were you rude to me?" These creeps are almost impossible to get rid of. I have repeatedly told them that they are fraid, cheats and liars. They respond by asking me "don't you want your winnings?" I tell them NO, give it to charity!! I hang up and they call right back!! It is unnerving, at best and scary at worst. I know they are preying on the lonely and the folks who believe in "get rich quick" ideas. Today was the first time i checked the phone area code and found out it was a Jamaica code.
Beware, and hang up, over and over again.

a friend of mind was called with 876 # saying he has won 3.5m & a new car

Add this number to the list: 876-283-4310. The called identified himself as John from IRS, but could not give me his badge number when I asked for it. I told him that I was not that stupid - and hung up. I don't know how to stop them from calling - someone has to be able to do something!!!

These guys have been trying to scam my elderly mom for weeks now. They do not know how to take no for an answer. They are really pissing us off. My mom has told them several times that she is an elderly widow that lives off her social security and that she does not have the $1200 they want. They keep telling her that she should borrow it from her family she can pay it back when she gets her $2.5 million (BULL SHIT)! They are preying on her and it is not right.

They claim that they are with Winners International global Service. Do not fall for this it is a scam.

They claim that they are credited with Wachovia Bank. I checked it out they are not a member of their bank at all!

They will also say that the money is to pay for the taxes through the IRS. Don't fall for this either. You do not pay taxes on money you haven't even received yet.

The names that these CRIMINALS are using on my mom are MARK MCKENZIE, KEVIN PALMER, ORANE PORTER, & ORVILLE ANDERSON!!!

The numbers that they are using are (876)562-7517, (818)870-9159, (818)870-9205, (876)416-0021, (876)859-3516, (866)725-1907, please watch for these numbers. Not all of them start with (876)

Here are two new numbers I have. I keep blocking them with help from my phone carrier but if they don't stop I will file a lawsuit. It's turned from asking for the same guy over and over know he dosen't live here to "I want to F you", "Your voice is so sexy", "I only call for you", "Tell me your e-mail address so I can send you naked pics... if you send them back". I'm really so tired of them and even when my husband answers they still don't stop.

This morning i heard the phone ring and ring, then stop. They left no message. When i finally decided to get up and start my day, i checked the phone to see the number that had called. It was 876-895-0342, it also said KINGSTON,CB . I was suspicious, so googled KINGSTON,CB . Well i got on this website and now i am really hoping that this person does not call me again. But wanted to report this new number. I have not seen anybody list this number yet......Thanks.

I cannot believe you are all falling for this!!!! If anyone calls and tells you, you have to send money to receive money HANG UP! Why dont you all look into these supposed companies, instead of just sending money. If you would have looked up the name you would have seen scam! This is what is wrong with this country is people like you!! So if they take you for your life savings, because every time you call there 876 number they can charge you any amount they want lets say $2455 per minute, I DONT FEEL SORRY FOR YOU AND YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING AN ALL DAY SUCKER!

I received a call from my wife while I was at work. She said an old friend from the past had called and wanted me to call back. She said his name was James Brown. Well the only James Brown I could think of was THE James Brown. the Godfather of Soul! I looked up the area code online and discovered it was from Jamaica. I thought about someone I met in Australia who was from Jamaica, thinking maybe it was the same guy?
I called and "James" said I won 2 million dollars! James said I needed to give some info and I responded by saying he could email it to me and I would fill it out and return it to him. James then said ( his voice was hard to hear and he slurred) I did not understand and that he had to get information from me to send the money. I then said James your in Jamaica and I have never been to Jaimaica. At that point he hung up the phone.
I called the wife to let her know, called my cell phone company to see if I had been scammed for phone charges and I phoned the local police to report the phone scam. The phone company said they would notify me and the police said they would send someone by from the fraud unit when they could. So i guess this scam is on-going. Thanks for letting get this out here.

I have posted here previously (1/18 & 2/12) regarding my mentally ill brother. All was quiet after I forwarded his calls to my #, that is til now. Shouldn't have let my guard down. Now they want $500 and have offered him a woman to marry him.

They have got him so brainwashed, I reminded him of a few months back when my sister and I were at his place, told him to ask if they were lying to him. Shocked me when the guy said, "Yes, we have been lying to you." It didn't take long though before he was sucked in again by "different" people. Different only because they changed their names.

My brother just called and asked for $500 of his SSI money so he could get lots more money, when I asked from where he told me Jamaica....and so the story continues on.
Talk about a never ending story hey? So I have once again forwarded his phone to mine, remember it records phone conversations, what good the recordings will do I don't know but for now it is what I can do for me. He did give me a phone #876-357-2504 for "Mr. Cooper" they should get a bit more creative with their names, Mr. Black, White, Smith these are Janaican? Oh and Susan is the girl for him.

Since the Jamaican police have been arrested for being involved in these scams it does not look as though there is much else we can do but protect our own in our own way. We've got to do what we can to not let these people get to us.

Maybe if the phone companies are bombarded with a phone call or more from each of us regarding blocking 876 #s they will have to do something about it? They can block 900 #s right? It can't hurt to try. Anyone for that? How many people post here or know of this sight, if we all come together on this maybe it could happen?

Also, bombard Western Union and MoneyGram requesting tighter security when transferring money to Jamaica. They can just say no. I believe it is worth a try, nobody else is going to do anything for us and just complaining about it here will not do anything. Let's all join forces and take some kind of action. Action speaks so much louder than words.

Let me know what you all think.............miss ice

Got a call - said I won 2.5million and 09 Mercedes - said must pay $3000 to get check and process - number given is 876-873-9171 - guy said name was Mike Clark - SCAM - DON'T DO THIS - FAKE - CLAIM READER'S DIGEST AND PUBLISHER'S CLEARINGHOUSE PRIZE - FOLKS IF YOU WIN YOU DON'T PAY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE MONEY - THIS IS A HUGE SCAM - THEY EVEN SOUND STUPID

I won 250,000$ ---- Or so david scott claimed! He called me from 876-851-5984, do not trust these guys they are unbelievable!!! He told me I had won $250,000 and that they had taken care of all the taxes on the money for me ($25,000 worth) and that for them to deliver the cashiers check to me I would have to speak with their "in-house" lawyer and no doubt give them more personal information and pay for the UPS delivery fee. He told me he was calling me from Las Vegas Nevadar, yes that's right, Nevadar! Really! How stupid do you have to be! I then got on the phone with his 'supervisor' JAMES WASHINGTON, who happens to be the 'CEO' of the company. After scolding him for wasting my time and scamming people out of their hard earned money I hung up, but not before they gave me the name of the their 3rd place winner 'Vicky Nelson' ~ Global International is a SCAM!!!! DO NOT TRUST THESE JAMAICAN SCAM ARTISTS! When I asked why they were calling me from a jamaican phone number in 'Nevadar' they said that is just where the phone company routed the call. Really? Phone companies always route my phone calls through yemen when I call people too. I asked how they got my info, he claimed it was because I had paid all my utilities on time and my info had popped up in their system as a lottery winner. I said 'David, you know what's funny, I have not paid my utilities on time for the last 6 months and even got my power turned off a couple months ago!' Nice try!

The last two nights I've been getting phone calls from the 876 area code to my cell phone. The weird part of this is the first 876 # came to my cell phone by text, then the onslaught of calls came next. I haven't answered any of them, but they have left voice mail, which you can hardly make out what they are saying, but a couple of them you can hear a woman's voice say "I hate you" and " Why are you doing this to me." The text message read: I just wanted to say I love u before I say good night. I'm going to see what my cell phone company can do for me, but I doubt anything can be done. Here's the numbers that have been calling me; 876-286-7815, 876-919-8611, 876-481-6563.

Some dude who didn't speak English called me. Normally I wouldn't bother picking up the phone but stupid old me thought that when I searched the area code on whitepages that Jamaica was referring to Jamaica, Queens. Wow, I need a brain transplant. Now I call them (stupid mistake) and this guy tells me I won some money and that I need to send a check or something... I am putting this story together from other ppl's stories here because I couldn't understand a word the idiot was saying. Then to make matters worse he tries to explain stuff to me and keep me on the line. Well, AT&T is going to get a call from me in a few days when this stupid call gets registered in the system. I must get this crap out of my charges... I bet it's going to be like $3000 with the 5 minutes I actually gave the jerk...

My stepmother was once what I would call moderately wealthy, having over $1 million. Now she is very ill, down to her last few thousand, and all her money has gone to crooks originating in Canada ("John MacDonald") and Jamaica ("Mark Fletcher" "Natalie Fletcher") not to mention all the little guys who send magical talismans for $50 a month to protect you against evil and bring good fortune. She absolutely believes that she won $3 million in a lottery, plus a Mercedes Benz, waiting for her in Jamaica, and one day "Mark" will send his private jet for her and take for a holiday in Jamaica, where she can collect her prize. All this has taken place through telephone and mail. One number "Mark" has used is 876-438-2510.

I have been unable to do anything - she is a hostile victim to the police, who really wanted to investigate these criminals, and passes psychological testing with flying colours. We are trying to get an emergency guardianship to conserve the pitiful remnant of her money, hopefully to see her to the end of her days as she is now rather ill. Why is there not more protection for the victims and their families - why is there nothing I could do? This has been going on for several years and I contacted every police department and social agency I could think of, as well as communicating with lawyers and financial advisors.

A man claiming to be named Jermaine calls from 876-581-1288 a Jamaican phone number. He tried to get money western unioned to him, and continued to be harrassing. Be aware.

In past posts, forum participants have raised the possibility that the Jamaican criminals are working in concert with individuals in the United States. While I have found this not to be true (for the most part) in my elderly father's situation, I recently discovered fresh proof that parties within the U.S. are actively collaborating with 'offshore colleagues' further defraud past victims.

Case in point: An bogus letter (bearing an obviously scanned-in image of the departmental seal) my dad recently received via Express Mail, from 'The Department of Homeland Security,' which reads as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention: Mr. John Doe

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) takes this opportunity to inform you that upon investigation we have found out that you have been supporting terrorist groups in Jamaica.

Senate Bill 1906, the Homeland Security Enhancement Act, closely tracks all the transactions and supporters of these groups and it is within this bill that we detect, detain, and charge all supporters of these groups who undermine our safety and our values.

We also wish to inform you that a cheque containing $5,500,000.00 was won from the Australian Sweepstakes and Lottery by you and should have been paid out to you from January 31st 2009.

However, this package is yet to be claimed because of incomplete payments, instead you have been supporting these groups in Jamaica.

It has been brought to our attention that person's from Jamaica using the area code (876) has been using our office name as a means of collecting money from you claiming that they are acting on behalf of us, please bear in mind that the Department of Homeland Security does not use a third party. All information that we need to relate comes directly from us to you.

Let us hereby remind you that 3,000 innocent men, women, and children paid for this policy with their lives on September 11, 2001.

In order to assist you in clearing your anti-terrorist records we will have to provide legal documents to prove that your support was not intentional but was an act of ignorance to the fact that you were not aware of this policy.

For the provision of these legal documents and also to set up a new record, you are asked to pay a sum of $45, 678.45 which must be paid no later than March 23, 2009.

Failure to comply with this payment will allow us to assume that your payments towards these groups were intentional.

Please direct all calls and queries to Mr. Nigel Lynch Chief Executive Head of Security at 214-427-4685.

We anticipate your response.

Yours Sincerely

David Prendergast
DHS Assistant Manager"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Although I have no way of knowing where calls to the aforementioned number are being routed, I have tangible evidence that the letter originated from within the United States - namely, a domestic tracking number and postmark from Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the envelope from 'Nick Davis' (who likely used an alias, and gave a fake post office box for a return address), originated.

I can only guess how Mr. Davis is affiliated with the crooks who ripped off my dad. Perhaps he is not working with them at all, and simply acquired my father's name from a 'sucker list' circulating amongst thieves.

Whatever the case, beware 'follow-up' letters, if you or your loved ones have been taken in one of these Advance Fee scams.

I am being called daily from these people ordering me to send $599 to them. Not by WU but by check to someone in Philly, PA. I don't want to give my name because I don't want a Jamaican drug lord comming to my house. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I have called the number that they gave me in Jamaican three times, and I was wondering if I would be charged more that the international fee. Does anyone know if I will be charged more. Some one on this site said that you could be charged upt to 2,400 per minute. Is this true?

First, let me say that this is an informative, and very necessary forum that I intend to continue participating in.

Having said that, I want to notify forum participants that I am now publishing a blog dedicated exclusively to Advance Fee fraud, which can be found at:

http://scamjammers.blogspot.com/

Regrettably, I am uniquely qualified to speak to the subject of Advance Fee fraud, as my elderly father has been embroiled in it since September 2007, and I have had to go to extraordinary lengths to protect him from the sleazeballs who continue to hound him to this day.

I hope you find my new site a meaningful contribution to the conversation, about this pervasive and insidious crime.

Keep fighting the good fight,

Son of Scam

I just received a call from Patrick Brown from the Global International Lottery Company saying I had won 2.5 million dollars. So I let him go on with his spill, not answering his questions correctly, and then he got to the "there is a $450.00 shipping fee" that he wanted me to go to Western Union to pay. HAHAHAH! He didn't know who the hell he was talking to, cause if he did, he would have known I'M NOT STUPID! I called him out on his SCAM and also informed him that i would be submitting his phone number and information to the FBI. He told me "well that's ok, I guess you don't deserve the money anyway" what a LOSER! The problem I have with this is that they have my CORRECT name and address, and that worries me. I've already had someone do Identity Theft on my name once before...this better not happen again! How else can you protect yourself from these people????

1 876 458 0200 dont answer!!!!!!!!!!!

watch out 1876 458 0200 is a number that is in jamaica attempting to scam me but unfortunately for them its not working, be careful though because they will call from a withheld or unknown number.

My grandmother, has been aggressively pursued by callers leaving 876 numbers. When we did a reverse phone number look up they all came back as Kingston Jamaica. They threatened to come to her house, they have scammed money out of her. I reported the incident to the Attorney General's office in my state and the state police. The very next day the scammer called my grandmother and said "I'm from the Attorney General's office, we will be giving you money for any harm that has come to you, but you have to send $60.00 to cover the sales tax on the money". The caller then told her he was from Globe International Services in Syracuse NJ, but working for the Attorney General. No such company exists. These people call her at least once every 1/2 hour to ask for money, always telling her she won millions of dollars. The authorities say there is nothing they can do about this.
It is disgraceful and we need to find a way to educate people and to stop these aggressive scams!!!

Same call here.. he wanted $175 for shipping, went by the name Evan Ferguson. They said they would have the check to me in a half an hr and then someone knocked on the door 1/2 hr later. O.O *didn't answer*

have had a total of 3 calls from these idiots, one claimed his name to be Bruce Golden. They called me twice with a blocked number, and I yelled at them to stop calling unless they wanted to call me from an unblocked number and they explained that I had to call them back, sounds stupid but it takes 3 mins for me to change my phone number I didn't really care, they kept urging that they had a 5 million dollar check for me but that I had to make a deposit of some kind into a bank, sounded so stupid so I kept them going on the phone asking if they even had my address, they kept saying a delivery guy was going to pull up, they had my address for sure but my old address so it wasn't like they were calling without any information about me, because I kept asking them over and over what they were talking about and yelling at them that I didn't want the check they kept switching the phone off to each other, calling the Jamaican consulate today and filing with the fcc as we speak, next step is to call the Jamaican police......I know I got them pissed off because of of them said 'f* u* you sir' though it was funny because this whole time their English sucked and couldn't even hardly understand that

The 876 calls from Jamaica are still coming in, 25 more calls since I told them to take my elderly mother-in-law off their list. They have now called from 10 different phone numbers, and sometimes blocking their number from showing at all. They call her anywhere from 8:47 am to 10:37 pm. They have called everyday of the week except Tue so far.
I did get around to sending this information - more detailed, to our Attorney General's office for PA today.
I was hoping they would stop, but since they haven't....
We may have to change her phone number, wanted to avoid that stress for her, but she is getting stress anyway, so we may not have a choice.
It amazes me how cruel some human beings will be to other human beings, and it's hard to comprehend that this scam continues. I was telling our phone company about it again today - and the lady today claims that this is legal! LEGAL! - the crooks are lying to us, harassing and pressuring the victim - and she thinks it legal! I was thinking the phone companies are connected to this, now I am more sure of that. What do we do to stop scams and harrassments? We spend more money to the phone company. If the phone company didn't like the scamming, it would get stopped!! I am sure of that. Our phone companies do not need the police to stop this stuff. They need us (the customer) to give them a reason to stop the scams.

Somebody girl called me and she said She loves me. ???
I wanted hang up but she want to talk more. and sound like mmmmmm
It was little funny and hang up the phone

I dont know anyone there at this number and they say they have a package for me, but I am afraid to use these numbers ...please advise

How do I get rid of this assh---! from calling my wife and I? If I could reach through the phone it would have been done by now but obviously that can't happen.
This is a 1-876-365-7189 number from a fool who can't speak English very well and left his brain somewhere other than where he is. He goes by Charles Anderson from St. James, Jamaica. It's one of the Western Union scams (you send $100.00 etc.) and the will make you rich! Yah right! This guy just won't stop.

The number used here is 876-294-7470. They have contacted my brother 3 times today, and several times in the past week. He has an unlisted number, lives in a small town, and has never been out of the country. He got pretty angry after the third call and threatened them with bodily injury, lol. They did not call back a 4th time, but I have to wonder how these people are accessing phone numbers and personal information. The scam here offers to get your charge cards paid off for a fee.

I got a call this morning from a "David Miller" who informed me that I won a sweepstakes that I may have entered 3 years ago. He said he was with Gold Rush Corporation and they've already taken care of 80% of taxes on it for me, I just have to WU or Money Gram them the remaining $899 (supposedly is 20% - don't worry. I'm not that dumb). I was supposed to send it to Nickisha Brown in Kingston, Jamaica. I let him know that I would get that done today. I didn't really want to hear anymore of his lame story and so that seemed to get him off the phone fairly quickly. Once off the phone, I immediately reported it to the local police department. They don't even try to make it sound realistic. The math wasn't right, there were dogs barking in the background, he didn't sound excited at all (like you would expect someone to sound if they were the one's giving you super good news), and why on earth would I send American tax dollars to an offshore account- ESPECIALLY before I had what I was paying taxes on.
Who falls for this???

Part 1 - I sit here saddened that so many American's being scammed every day by these people. I started to print off the comments so I can get my facts straight but figured 37 pages full would cause me to run out of ink. Need to buy a couple cartridges first. My elderly father has also been scammed by the same people listed in Kingstown, Jamaica. Except I lost count on how many 876 phone numbers Mr Williams and the others used. I think over 50 different phone numbers all with the prefix 876. It's been going on since at least September 2008. They do NOT stop calling. It sounds like they have a PRE_RECORDED Phone message until the person picks up the phone. I just found out he sent money via Western Union last week to Montego Bay, ST. James, Kinstown Jamaica. So now I put a stop to it.

Supposedly he won a sweepstakes or lottery. He needed to send money through Western Union and he would get his lottery check deposited in his bank account. I went to the local grocery store that he sent money through WU and they said as soon as it's picked up on the other end there is nothing they can do about it. They said WU is for sending money to " family and friends ONLY" and that they always tell people not to send money unless you know the person. My state is one of 10 states that require people to show proof of who they are by providing a US I.D. BUT if your sending money overseas they do NOT have to show proof. WU says people need to send money in case people lose their wallets. All they have to do is say they are expecting money from (insert your name) and give their name and then they get the money. I want to change that law by asking our representatives to make it a requirement for people to show gov't issued photo I. D in Jamaica in order to get money. One country at a time. Or if it's considered a SCAM and Western Union is knowingly sending money to the same people then WU should refund it. I had my father give WU approval over the phone to stop all future transactions with his name. This means he can not send money via Western Union anymore. The system wouldn't allow it unless they called me first. You can call any western union fraud dept and ask if one of your relatives sent money or put out the alert that if they ever went to a Western Union station they wouldn't be allowed to send anything. Western Union fraud dept also said 99.9% of transactions to Jamaica are most likely SCAMS. So if they know this then why aren't they doing anything about it. I bet it's because WU gets $$$ for every transaction sent. What is disheartening is that WU said a man in another state with the same name as my father also sent money to the same (women) my father did. Just a day later. I called the guy with same name up and told him it was a scam. Left a message but no return calls. Poor guy is probably embarrassed. WU wouldn't warn him. They said if he also tries to send money he won't be able to because he has the same name. They will call him to verify he wants to send money to Jamaica and tell him of the scam. They won't do it before that.

This is US currency leaving the country. No wonder we're going in a recession. Seniors are giving away their Social Security checks and trusting people are losing a lot too. In order for authorities to do anything you have to submit a claim to Western Union Fraud Dept. But that's not all you do. You MUST also call your local police and file a report. Then inform the police to call WU to start the process of investigating. You have to do all the calling. WU won't do anything until you submit the police report and they call WU. My father is getting harassing phone calls from the same people but this time they say he went in bankrupsty and he owes thousands of dollars. then they say they are managers for Bank of America. They say things like "We'll catch you" or " We'll track you down" if you don't pay back the loan which he never took out. Calling him late at night and throughout the day numerous times. I have caller I.D. now for him, changed it to privacy manager, and all calls go to voice mail and forwarded to me. He won't pick up the phone any more. The police said the only way they really get anything done is if the caller THREATENS them with bodily harm. So maybe some of you 'FORGOT' to mention to the police you were threatened. It's not too late to submit a police report.

Everyone has to realize this is bigger than they think. These people are also scamming their own towns people, relatives, friends etc. Police intelligence is showing the money is being used to buy high-powered rifles to be used in gang warfare. The Montego Bay lottery scam was brought to everyone's attention in June 2005. This is just one scam of thousands out there. It's not just here, it's an International biz. They have citizens in the US that are in Cahoots with them too. They call you from local phone numbers. When you call them right back it says the number is not in service.

For those Jamaican scammers who are reading these blogs just remember " One day at a time, one scam at a time". Oh Yeah, by the say. I'm the B....** you told my father to get rid of next time you called him. Not gonna happen. I'm on a mission to rid the scum that plagues the earth. Maybe it won't happen in my lifetime but I won't stop until I've done all I could, contacted representatives, changed laws and policies etc. People United.

Lots of people telling their story here. Now we need politicians to get their hands out of their pockets and do something about it.
