    Acquaintances of mine have been scammed by these people, but continue to communicate with them. What’s the end game? How far has this gone with anyone? They communicate via Facebook and text. They are communicating with a woman- her number is from Connecticut.

    1-876 is a Jamaican exchange...they also call with "call from UNavailable"..best thing to do is just hang up ... they will tell you what you want to hear, give you the impression that they are interested in you...anything to keep you talking, and let your guard down, and give them more of your personal info...they also use stateside phone # s.  and other "throw away" # s, that you can call back, never get an answer...if you get a call form a # you don't recognize, let it ring til it stops, see if they will leave a voice mail, then check them out on internet!  My story is too long, but because I did not listen to my friends, thought I was smarter than them, I have lost my wife's confidence, had to file bankruptcy, lost my house, and my credit score has gone down the tubes,  not to mention the stress and heartache that comes with it!  We must stop this greedy , selfish, uncompassionate assault on older people whose main income, like small, a fixed income, but also on others, too.. By the way, do not give out any personal info!!! even if you don't have much money, they will use your personal info to open checking accts, buy things, etc, and even sell your info on the black market!

    I got a call from Richard Mark staying I won 6.9 million dollars in the mega million sweepstakes. I told him I believe it when I see it. He never asked me for money but did give me a password and said if I’m asked  and I can’t give it someone else would win it. Told me I was going to have a good Christmas. I said yes if it’s real. But it sounds like a scam to me. He again said it was real. I said when you and your security walk up with the check I would believe it and not until then and hung up

      I received a call today saying I won 5.5 million dollars and a new Mercedes Benz.  He said he sent me mail and phoned but couldn't get through.  The funny thing is I have entered many many sweepstakes.  He did not ask for any money and he asked I wanted to get the money privately or publicly.  He give me his phone number and badge number.  It was hard to hear him because my landline phone is not working right., I cannot hear the other side many times...What do you people think???

      Got a call from James Wallace. I won 32million dollars a 2023 Benz and 7,000 a week for life. These same people call so often I can tell them what they are  going to say. You can't really block them because they just use a different number. If it sounds too good to be true it is.

      My caller has been calling me at least once on every week since the first of February. His name is Michael Edwards phone 1 876 545 9870  and also 1 530 882 2260. He says I have won the MegaMillion and to get the money I need to buy a Vanilla Visa gift card and give him the PIN # to pay taxes and I will be getting 5,000 a month for life plus a white BMW 2022. He gave me a claim number and the check number. I have not bought the Visa card or given him anything, but he has not given up and still calls. Maybe I should tell him he has been recorded and is being recorded again the next time he calls?? I told him I would not pay to get money.
