I just received 2 calls from them - they hung up. I work in PR so was afraid it was a client and tried to call back. Could not be completed. Seemed strange so I googled the number... and here I am! I think I'll do what someone else tried. Next call I'll give them the smoke detector treatment!

They called me and said I'd won a trip to Florida and Mexico, but that there was a one-time registration fee to secure the prize. I used to work in the industry and even owned a tele-marketing agency at one point and everything about this call sounded like a scam, right down to the warning that if I didn't register today, I'd lose my spot, I couldn't call them back later. Not sure what the deal is with these guys, but the aggression and tone of the convo seemed a little too suspicious.
Had someone posing as if they were from Universal call our house from this number and also 813-319-1240. My wife answered and they told her she won a trip to Florida. Asked how they could get a hold of me and called me at work. They told us my wife entered the contest from Hotmail.
I asked them what the URL for the contest was so I could get more info and they told me they didn't have that and that "they" didn't give that to them, they just asked them to call us. (whoever they is)
Long story short, they tried three times to get out CC number (for the one time charge of $498) and all three times I told them we were not paying, even threw in the line about what the were doing ( Phishing ) was illegal and told my wife to hang up.
Also have to say I was transferred to three different people and all three were the same girl, just a different name/operator # used.
