I live in Maryland. My call went like this.

Received a call from this number today. Did not answer but they left a vmm. It went something like this. Hi, this is Brad with the prize award center and I am calling regarding your entry in our $25,000 Cash & SUV contest. The contest is over and we are looking at your entry and have some very good news for you. Please call us back at 877-249-6404. We look forward to hearing from you soon and CONGRATULATIONS.
Got a call from this number on my answering machine and they said I'd won a prize in a contest I entered (which I didn't enter!) said to call 1-866-430-3177.
Got a call this afternoon on my cell phone but couldn't answer. "Jim's" vm said that I won $50K in a contest that I never entered and gave me a toll free number to call. I won't be claiming my prize.
Got a call yesterday morning from this number telling me I won $50,000. Didn't know if I had entered a contest because I was filling out apps for school scholarships and the like, and couldn't remember what I had entered. However I did know that I never gave out the # they called me with. Called back with the number they said (1-312-625-5537) and no one was there. The voice mail couldn't take any messages.
Received a call from a person identifying himself as Randy Bentley stating that he had great news about a contest for $50,000 that I had entered 18 months ago. He asked that we call back and added his congratulations. This is definitely a ripoff.
