Gold Rush Jamaican Scam This is a nationwide ring of scammers with toll free numbers out of Jamaica. So you cannot get FCC, FBI or any other cponsumer group to do anything about them. I have been turning them in for over two years, spending my time documenting names and phone numbers and it winn not do any good. They all claim that you have wom millions of dollars, and sometimes a Merceses or BMW. They tell you they have to have money to prepay the IRS, or they have to have money for the delivery charges for the vehicle.  Nationwide

This is a network of scammers using toll free phone numbers out of Jamaica.  They use many different names, like Gold Rush Lottery, but the names only change to something like Mega Millions.  They claim they are readt to deliver the millions of dollars you have won, and sometimes a new Mercedes or BMW. 

i believe they have sent something through the mail to get you to initially enter a contest, because they have your name and address as well as your phone number. 

i have found many stories of people, particularly senior citizens that they have scammed out of money.  First for delivery expenses, then for prepaying income tax on the winnings, etc.  But each time they want more than the last time.  i

 am saying it is a network, because once the calls start, you cannot get rid of them.  They may also claim they are from Publishers Clearinghouse or Readers Digest.  i have even had them claim they are from UPS or Federal Express.  Most have a clear Jamaican accent.

The pone who just called, told me i would need to give him information to complete the A-! Delivery Form, that comes from the State Attornet General's office and pay to have the $2.5 Million delivered,  He claimed to be from Gold Rush Lottery at  303 Carson Street in Las Vegas, Nevada.  i believe that is the old Clark County Court House.  There is no such company with a website. Nor does the Attorney General of Nevada list an A-1 form on-line. When I look at Google Earth. it is a fire hydrant in fromt of a parking garage across the street from the old Courthouse. 

The bottom line, is that if someone tells you you have won a lottery and asks you to go buy a "green fot card" at Walgreen's or CVS and wants you to give them the numbers off the car, you are just handing them the money for nothing.

Stsy Away!  if it souns like a scam tpo get you to pay up from for something you have won, IT IS A SCAM.
