I got a call from this number today claiming it was with the dailyjackpot.com and that i would just complete a short survey to be entered for 25,000 cash prize. I knew it was a scam but I went with it to see just what all was entailed since I could not find info online (so others would know). I answered questions regarding meds me or my family might have taken that caused medical issues, after I was done it said that I had qualified for a free 100$ walmart card, transferred me to a human and the human than said no strings attached you just had to pay a small shipping fee for the card and activation fee. I hung up at that point. This number showed as a local number to me, but clearly was a false number on the screen to get you to answer thinking it is a local person.
>> you just had to pay a small shipping fee for the card and activation fee. <<
Right.
Then, they ask for your card number, to pay that fee.
Then, they suck your card dry.
Some of the common scams listed here, on 800notes, are the "you won a prize" or "free grant" or "award" scams.
Those scams are described here:

(That site also has a link to Amazon's phone blocker devices and apps, as well as a page showing various government sites that accept complaints or warn about scams.)
I was contacted by 864-305-3318 and was told by a lady with a heavy accent that I won a prize, I asked three times who she was and she told me that she had a survey for me and I would get a 100$ Walmart Gift Card. I asked her why she was calling me because I was on the DNC list and she said "what is that". This is clearly a scam. Please do not provide these people with any information. Luckily I was at a computer and could pull this while I was on the phone. But some may not be as lucky.
