By the way, at no point in this process have they mentioned a company name; neither of the phone numbers is associated with a company or individual in Google or the reverse phonebook I use; when I dial back the 540 907-4092 number a recording tells me they are not available to take calls -- all telltale signs of some kind of ripoff.
I received the same call - saying I had entered a sweepstakes 3-6 months ago. They asked to verify my address - repeated my correct address to me but I didn't live there 3-6 months ago. When I said that the line went dead. Makes me wonder if they were just phishing for an address?
My wife got a call from them asking for me. She stated I was at work and they asked to call her number back and leave a message. It was traced to IP Address 70.177.190.6, 173.79.100.191.
Same thing: they claim I entered a drawing to win a Ford Explorer and have won, but I need to call "Mr. Russell" at 877 418-2687 to claim my prize. They verified my name and address; when I called "Mr. Russell" I got a recording saying he was not available to take my call, but if I leave my name and number someone will call me back within 15 minutes "because this is a very time sensitive matter." I can't figure out exactly what their con is, but it is obviously not for real.
