Received a phone call a few days ago from Dave Marshall from Sweepstakes Promotions saying they got our phone number from an entry form with this phone number on it and that we've won a brand new vehicle. Later in the message he says something about a "top prize" and "you've won a major prize." Then he tells us that no money is involved and to call back at 866-506-0953 and until then congratulations.
We called back on the slim chance that it was legit because my husband had just filled out a form to win something (maybe a car, he didn't know). Nobody answered and nobody has called us back. We're not holding our breath.
Received a message saying that we won a "major prize" in a sweepstakes drawing where a new car was a prize. We wouldn't have entered. Don't think so...sure sounds like a scam to me. No thanks.

Yeh, they are a clearing house. They call to get your name and then pass it off to another company. Playing dumb, I told the lady that I never got my car to see what the reaction is. She said you got the sweepstakes ticket that the company (third party) sent you, and I said yes, and it said I won a car. She was shocked. She said that they are not responsible, blah, blah, blah. Then man got on the phone and asked who I was... then promptly hung up the phone. Sounds like a real scam. They are based in Chicago Il... I tried to call back. The fun thing to do is to call the 866 toll free number 866-506-0953. If you press 0, then the phone goes dead. But, if you try ext 1251, 1253, 1257, you can get someone. Since they bothered me on a Saturday Afternoon, thought I would have fun with them. I asked the lady for her home phone number and could I call her at home when I got home. She said I could not call her, I promptly told her not to call me....
