Message said "you" (without being specific as to who "you" is) are a finalist for a 2008 Ford giveaway that you entered up to 18 months ago. She said her name was Clair and while there was no cost, there was a time limit, and I should call 800-401-1194 and speak to her to claim one of the top three prizes.
This caller advised we have won a contest and to call 1-888-230-1230 for more details where I spoke to an Alison Sinclair who advised I would be informed by certified mail of which of three prizes I had won. They asked for my Phone number and I am concerned they may try to use it and bill long distance calls to my account with Qwest. It would be much appreciated if it could be determined if these are scammers or not. Name above is my Email address. A further call which I did not answer came from PRIZE CLAIM OFC 708-344-4278

I'm so glad you posted your message and I found it. The same message and number from "Claire" was left today. I didn't answer the phone or hear the message being left. I did not call back on the advice of my husband who said if it's legit they'll send a certified letter. He thinks it may be a time-share or another scam. Thanks for your information.
I just got the same message from Claire regarding a Ford Explorer giveaway. I entered the contest in the last 18 months etc. We never sign up for contests b/c of scams like this. We won't be calling.
Got a call today from Claire advising me to call at 1-800-401-1194 because I had won one of three top prizes from an entry to win a 2008 Ford Explorer and that the message was time sensitive so I should call right back. After reading these post, I figured ok, I will call back and find out what they are up to so I can post that information, will let you know when "Claire" calls me back with my wonderful prize - hey maybe I won the Ford Explorer that no-one can afford to fill up the gas tank - ha!
