I got a call on my cellphone this afternoon from a number I didn’t recognize, 876-350-7034, so I let it go to voicemail. The caller didn’t leave a message but a little sleuthing on the Internet says that the number is from Jamaica. Further sleuthing says that some folks in Jamaica are using their toll-free-looking area code to scam people.

I don’t know if the call I missed is about a scam or not but it would be wise to be wary of calls from an 876 area code.

Update 27 Dec: Looks like I covered this scam in February.
