I live in Maryland. My call went like this.
Hi, this is Bill with the Prize Distribution Center, calling in regards to the contest that was entered some time back, called the Grand Sweepstakes Giveaway, where your entry was submitted in hopes of winning a brand new Lincoln Navigator. Well, the contest is officially over. We are looking at your entry, and we have very good news for you. What you need to do is give me a buzz here (toll free) in the office at 1-800-301-3436, again that's 1-800-301-3436. AND CONGRATULAYIONS!!!!
Today I received the same message verbatim as the entry posted here from 2009...!!
How can a place get away with this for over 5 years and continue with the same tactic?
This is a call from the "Prize Distribution Center" My particular caller said his name was Bill and that I won a Lincoln Navigator. He told me to call an 800 number (800-301-3436), which is a scam. There are currently 6 pages on this website about that number that you can look up.
