Imagine getting a call that claims you’ve won a multi‑million‑dollar prize, then threatens you if you don’t pay a fee. The pattern repeats: poor English, aggressive insults, and a Jamaican accent, all pointing to a classic lottery scam. Callers often use the name Kingston JM to lend false credibility. The safest move is to hang up immediately, never share personal or banking info, and block the number through your carrier or a call‑blocking app. Report the incident to the FTC and to your local consumer‑protection agency. Keeping a log of timestamps can help authorities track repeat offenders.
Relentless scammers have been targeting my father, claiming to work with the FBI to catch those involved in the Jamaican lottery scam, which has led to significant financial losses for him.
A warning to others: if you receive a call from 876-843-5303, do not answer, as it is a scam promising a grand prize and a car in exchange for a substantial fee. I fell victim to this scam and suffered foul language and threats, but fortunately, I involved the authorities and avoided further harm.
They are scam artist, you shouldnt answer their calls
I'm getting alot of calls from this and other numbers, i dont know anyone in Jamaica, so i dont answer, after reading the comments, i'm glad i didnt answer.
Repeated calls from various numbers have been made, including one with a menacing tone and accent, prompting me to advise blocking the calls when possible
Despite my previous attempts to ignore, this caller continues to contact me, even calling twice in just three minutes
I got a call from sombody with bad english, and a crappy connection, they said i won 3.5 million, and a big screen tv, but i knew it was a scam
A scam call claimed I'd won a multimillion-dollar contest, but I had to wire $1500 immediately; when I suggested the caller find an honest job, they responded with foul language and threats.
