Recieved a voice mail from "Tanisha" from ?? (couldn't catch the name of the business/organization, but it sounded like Kent/Tent/Pant/Pent International of IL?) saying that I'd been selected as one of four finalists for a 2008 Ford Explorer or $25,000 cash. Said I'd been entered "somehow" 6-9 months ago and that there was no cost to me, no clubs to join, no products to buy.
She left an 800 number for me to call back (see cross-reference report on 800-504-6037), however the incoming number that registered on my cell phone when she called was (563) 242-2250. After some online research, it appears that this number is from a Low Moor Garbage/Rubbish Removal company in Clinton, IA (and the google link I found is hosted/sponsored by Gatehouse Media, who owns my local Peoria, IL newspaper, The Peoria Journal Star)!?
I called the Iowa number back direct and planned to ask for Tanisha, but no one ever answered. To my surprise, howerver, the voice mail was indeed for someone named Tanisha (no last name included). Interestingly enough, her voice mail greeting DID NOT announce/indicate the company she works for...I did not leave a message for her. :)
My guess is that this individual has a full-time day job and that she 'moonlights' by making outbound "you've won! calls" from her FT employers phone?!

I got the same phone call, but from Jessica from #563-242-2246 and she left an 800 number. She said that I had registered online over a year ago... same exact call except it was a 2008 Lincoln Navigator or $45,000 in prizes. She said that she worked for Global Network. Googled that company and it doesn't exist... hmmmm. Scam??? Probably.
i receieved a call from : 563 - 242 - 2239 name of the company showing up : PRIZE CLAIM , which I was able to recall back after we were disconnected/he hung up on me? Not sure which. I am in fact on a do not call list which prohibits these sorts of calls,they said I won a Ford Navagator or $45,000.00 .Ok, well then why not just send me a special certified notice via mail?
Guess what phone number just tried to reach me again...on April 3rd, 2009?!?! Guess they're still trying to give away that "free" Ford Explorer (which is an outdated model by now, btw)!! lol
I didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. At first when I saw the number it looked vaguely familiar...so I googled it and found my own post about it from the last time they called. **chuckle**
