Deputies say the calls originate from Jamaica, using the phone number (876) 869-2952 and the caller has a foreign accent. They also use historical or biblical names to identify themselves. Some of the names include Moses, Abraham, John Kennedy and Martha Washington. The caller asks the person to send them $300 or more via Western Union and to assist in paying taxes or fees on the millions of dollars they've won. The caller asks the person to wire the money to Jamaica in the name of Mr. Anderson.

Deputies say the scam artists then tells the victims once the money is sent, a Sheriff's deputy will deliver the winnings along with a spokesperson for the "Publishing Clearing House."

Investigators say the scammers are diligent, calling victims several times a day.
