Received voice message from this number saying they were Prize Center for the Grand Prix Giveaway Sweepstakes and my name was drawn and to call 866 343 5166 to claim my prize. When I called I was told the sweepstakes just ended, and since I called back my name would be entered in a drawing on May 30 to win a new Ford Explorer. When pressed I was told they didnt know how they got my name, they receive entries from many merchants and I probably bought something that had a statement at the bottom of the receipt about the sweepstakes and I would be automatically entered. There were 3 questions for me to qualify - must be between the ages of 25 and 70, be married and make over $40,000/year, have a valid D/L. Told them I wasnt married but others applied. I was told I would be contacted the first week in June. Sounds like a Time Share to me.
I didn't call back, but I just got a voicemail from Jim at the prize center with great news. Same phone numbers: 708-914-1006 on Caller ID, 866-343-5166 to call him back.
I recieved a call from 708-914-1006 and was told to call back 866-343-5166 and what was crazy was I called the 866 number and no one answered so I hung up without leaving a message then they actually called me back a few minutes later so I assume they have caller id. When I spoke to a guy named Bryce who asked for my name and I spelled it for him when he spelled it back to me I noticed he got it incorrect but before I could correct him he had already put me on hold. But when he came back he said that he had found my name and I had been entered in a drawing at some mall but could not tell me which one. And that it was probably threw a merchant that I entered and would have showed on the bottom of the reciept. I supposedly won a licoln navigator and cash and a tv and a vacation. Well he wanted to make sure if I showed up in San Antonio, Texas in 6 buisness days I told him I travel too much and couldn't. I told him I was working in Fort Worth and he said there was an office there too. Sounds pretty shady he also wanted to make sure my wife went with me which doesn't sound right why would I have to have anyone there if I won the prize. Anybody elso have more info because I left it at that. With all scams out thre you can't trust anyone can someone let me know if this has happened to you too and if you did follow through what happened.
