- On 11/04/11 I received a similar call, this time from (876)494-0752. Same Publishers Clearinghouse claim, same request for $250.00 payment (this time through a Western Union Office). I hung up as soon as I got the payment request. My wife called a few minutes later and said they called her on her cell phone at work with a different phone number (same 876 area code). As soon as she started questioning her on it they hung up on her. The voices of the people I talked to all sounded very similar, kind of mush mouthed. Watch out!!!
