Got unwanted call from 876-429-7552?
Got a call from someone claiming to be PCH and they directed me to call “Andrew Golden” at the number listed for this complaint. I went to Goldens voicemail which the recording on was completely generic, listing no name or company. When he called back, he blah blah Ed at me for a bit before asking how I felt about winning $1.5 million and a 2020 F150 truck. He eventually got to the catch...I needed to pay $750 in order to get these prizes. Interestingly, when I said I did not HAVE $750, and my bank account was overdrawn, he followed up with “How much CAN you pay today?” I asked him if he knew what overdrawn meant...then he told me to call him when I got home.
No message le4ft.
Male caller with Indian accent called today from this number - when we answered he asked "is this a company" to which the office manager replied that it was. He repeated the question again and was given the same answer - he then said, "get off my line" and hung up. LOL these scam callers get better and better! My elderly mother had a call from someone with the same area code about a month ago saying he was from the Publishers Clearing House Prize patrol. He told her she had won a car and $5,000 / month for life. He told her he was calling ahead to see if she wanted the deliver filmed and if she wanted to have some other family member's present. She took down the info - knew better than to give him anything - and was waiting for his 2nd call later in the day. She immediately called me and I was able to verify that the Publisher's Clearing House NEVER calls ahead. They truly do capture the surprise looks / reactions. Also found out that this call / area code originates from Jamaica. We also discovered there is a toll charge to cell phones from that number when he called back later in the evening. That call was the one where he told my mother that she would need to pay for the "transfer fees" fro the car and the money to be handed over. Of course as with most of the scams, he would provide a bank account number for her to deposit money into. He did not want her to discuss this with anyone else, until after the Saturday delivery. He could not / would not explain what the money was for except that it was for Transferring costs. I highly suspect he was looking for a residence today and was angry that he had reached business and people who were on to his scam.
