Jim called from 866-313-0311 said i won a car. WHAT A LOSER...I KNEW HE WAS SCAMMING ME.
Reported this to the BBB of Orlando.
Never give out any information to these people.
They are now calling Arizona, I do not have caller ID. But the tactic is the same: I received a call from Alex from the the Prize Distribution Center saying I had entered the "Grand Sweepstakes Giveaway" and he was glad to tell me I won something, even a Lincoln Navigator. Asked me to call 1800-821-3984 and ask for Michelle Bentley. I tried the number but reached a VMB asking me to leave my name, telephone number, and state I was calling. I did not leave any information, I just hung up. I called our Arizona Attorney General's Fraud Department and spoke w/Mr.Moreno and gave him all details of the call. He said this was a scam and it would involve that company asking for money. He said this is happening across the nation. Be careful out there and warn your loved ones to be on the alert. ps Today there was another message from that same stating that I had left a message, but had not left my name or any information, and how can I expect them to look my prize up. This time I left a message that they had been reported to our Az Atty General's Fraud Department.
I did not answer my cell because did not recognize number on my caller ID. They left me a message telling me I had entered an online contest to win a Lincoln Navigator and my email address was chosen as the winner, then asked me to call some 1-866 number to claim my prize. To sound convincing they cited my address and email. However, I know I did not enter any such contest. So, I came straight to this website and sure enough I found several other persons reporting the same type of call, not from the same exact number, but from the same area code (773)and same prefix (486. By the way, I ran the number through a reverse phone lookup web service and it comes back as a residential listing, not a business. Beware, this is very likely a scam. It does bother me somewhat that they had my address, email address and cellular tel number.
Caller ID: unknown name
Caller: undisclosed
"Bill" called from the "Prize Distribution Center" that the contest I entered to win a 2007 Lincoln Navigator within the past couple of months was officially over and he was looking at my entry form so that was "good news" and "congratulations" so I should give them a "buzz back" at 1-800-996-0081 and the caller id # was 1-312-488-1851. I called back, didn't leave my name on the answering machine since he didn't address my name when he called. Scam written all over it!!
Got a call from "Trent Williams" congratulating me for winning a Lincoln Navigator, cash, and/or other prizes. Trent asked me to call back as soon as possible at 866-313-8050 ext. 248. Trent identified himself as a "Prize Coordinator". Trent had a heavy midwestern accent. Trent did not address anyone in the household by name. They are still working Arizona.
Call from 312-962-0237, same routine as you all- they left message about Lincoln Navigator. Am going to report to my local Las Vegas BBB, as well as NV state fraud office in the morning!
