I received a call from Christopher at Mitchell Comm....same thing as all the other posts. I supposedly entered a contest and won a car or other top prize and it would be in my best interest to call back. Also said that they were aware of the DNC list and they were not a telemarketer. Of course I did not call back. Said he made numerous attempts to reach me but I never received a call from them before. I also never entered any contest. I don't answer any call that I'm not familiar with. Glad I checked it out on this website though.
Mitchell Comm called and left a message that I entered a contest 12-18 months, I won a car, and it's in my best interests to call back. Sunday afternoon call.
I got the "Christopher" call from (708) 898-2811. Same thing. I called (866) 312-9553 ext.109 and this is VANDELL Communications. "Jared" was taking calls for Christoher. Said they got my number from a contest I entered. I told him I didn't enter a contest so he said I should disregard the call. I went on to ask why they called me knowing I was on the DNC list and he repeated that since I entered a contest they were allowed to call. I again told him that I didn't enter. I asked him what this contest was, or if this was some type of scam. He said it wasn't a scam and he wouldn't know about which contest until I gave him my information. He wanted my name and I told him that according to them I entered a contest so they already had my name. He got fed up and hung up. I reported the numbers to the FTC and the DNC Registry.
Just received a call from 708-898-2013, ext. 243. Same as above. Some guy saying about a contest and a car. I called back (from a different phone!) and got some kind of corporate travel agency. Scamtacular.
