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... read full review »

I received scam phone calls wanting me to call an 876 number. The men are trying to tell me that have won 2.5 million and also the reimbursement of the money I have been scammed for. The names being used are Mark Mozalo and Mark Mc? You can tell these are not Americans by their accent. The phone numbers they are using are 876-492-6493 and 876-302-9115. There are two men working back to back to get you to pay a portion of the money. Started out wanting 387.00 then said they would pay half. When I told them I would pay nothing they became upset and hung up on me. read full review »

Yesterday received a call on my cell from 876-427-3802. A woman (heavy accent) stated she was from Bank of America in New York, stated my home address correctly, and said she was holding a $75, 000 check that I had won thru a sweepstakes entry (which I never entered). All I needed to do was pay a processing fee of $260. I laughed and stated I did not believe this was legit. I asked to speak to the bank manager - who was of course not available, but would call back. Later I called the number that appeared on my cell (just to see) and got a... read full review »

I am from Hawaii, and we just got a call from a 876 area code. My dad is not really up to date with the technology and scams now days. Anyways, my dad told me that someone called by the name of Eron Shields, gave an address from Maine and offered my dad alot of money. All my dad had to do was send a check for $200.00 to the address in Maine and my dad will receive the Hundreds of dollars. I did all the research, and thank goodness it linked me to this website. So if anyone gets a call saying that you have won something or to send any type of... read full review »

My mother was called today. Told she won $225, 000 from a Megabox Sweepstakes. She was called by "John Rogers" who claimed to be a Pastor in Pennsylvania. He was very convincing and even though she knew from the start that this was a Scam, she was still interested enough that she wanted me to call to check it out. He told her something about eventually doing something at Western Union, but I am not sure of the details he gave. He gave her the return phone number of 876-875-3491. This area code appears to be from Jamaica. I did a Google... read full review »

'Donavan' from Jamaica (area code 876) called with $550, 000 for me. I'd just have to pay 5% shipping ($555) through Western Union. I posed as an older man who had just lost his wife and was delighted at this good fortune. He will call back at a later time to get the delivery number or, since I made it difficult to predict when I would reach home, he gave me his 876-458-8518. Besides upping my age and status, I 'corrected' the spelling of my name and provided no other contact data. I'll have some more fun with... read full review »

The day Ann Mowle was finally going to be rewarded, she anticipated that someone would knock on her door at the Rossmoor adult community in Monroe and give her her prize money. "She told us it was going to be a Publishers Clearing House thing, " said Monroe Detective Robert Bennett, referring to scenes taped for television ads, when Publishers Clearing House delivers a fat check to an unsuspecting winner.

My mother fell for the "Car and cash prize winner" bit hook line and sinker. She had enough sense to tell me, but only after seven wire transfers totaling over 6000US dollars. They called often enough so that I could record several conversations between my mother and the scammers. I found it shocking that despite it sounding obviously manufactured and artificial, my mother bought into their story so completely. Astonishing that the US DOJ has not put a stop to this. I doubt the Jamaican gov't has the capacity or will to... read full review »

Mildred Rice daily receives many phone calls from Jamaica, and it's not because she is trying to plan a white-sand vacation in the Caribbean. It's not unusual for Rice, who is 80 years old and has been taking care of her 102-year-old mother for the last five years, to receive as many as 30 calls a day. Her caller ID shows that most of the calls are "out of area" or from Jamaica. "The calls have driven us about crazy, " Rice said.

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... read full review »

We purchased a International Dt466 from Jasper Engines & Transmissions in July of 2010 for $13, 452.00. The Engine had a massive oil leak coming from the breather tube the moment we started the new engine. We contacted Jasper immediately and they told us to check a couple of things and that maybe the engine had to be broken in and not to call them until it had 100hrs on it. The leak never stopped. They sent us a new engine but never compensated us for the r&r and repairs as they promised they would. This is a horrible company to do business with, they do not stand by there product. read full review »

I used Servicemagic to find a cleaning company for my oriental rugs, believing that they were a reputable filter for reliable professional service professionals in my area. I received only one call right away. I thought more would call. The man Paul Benhamou came, flattered me that I had valuable rugs and proceeded to quote me approximately 600.00 to clean 3 small rugs, around 70 square feet in total. When I balked at the price he offered an all-cash deal at 450.00 which I foolishly took and signed a contract. That came out to around 6.00 plu... read full review »

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! STAY AWAY!!! This company is a complete scam. they called and spoke with one of my employees and convinced her to authorize a "FREE" trial, which she approved, not realizing that we would then be charged $99/month thereafter!

I read some of the posts below and see that we are not the first company that they have done this to. I love the eloquent response from their representative - but it is FULL OF CRAP!

Believing this to be some scam, I did not call Joe Carter. Could I be guilty of racial profiling? read full review »

Rather than just preaching conservatorship, conservatorship, conservatorship... any ideas on how to simply block the calls from getting through? Conservatorship won't work for a lot of people, especially when the only apparent problem with some elderly persons is that they keep falling for this scam, sending money, etc. I've read about various products - Caller ID Manager and others - but most seem to either be discontinued or don't work with landlines or have some limitations. Another - ColdCallBlocker - supposedly allow... read full review »

In the advertisement and description of the service it says "Unlimited* local and long distance ..." However in the fine print there is "fair usage policy", which is fine. But there is also following statement in the fine print of fair usage policy: "Vonage World Canada plan is subject at all times to a limit of 3000 minutes ..." Which obviously contradicts with the word "Unlimited" in the main description of the service! This is not a situation of pending certain conditions but it is a set hard limit. read full review »

Hollywood Congressman Howard Berman has proposed legislation that would effectively shut down peer-to-peer networks. His proposal calls for "technological self-help measures" such as interdiction, redirection, decoys, spoofing and file-blocking. This sort of action is a blatant declaration of cyberwarfare against consumers. The battle over technology vs. content is nothing new. While it is natural to resist change, it is necessary for growth. This ongoing battle is best described in relation to the Betamax lawsuit in the 1980s in... read full review »
