Said I was a finalist for an SUV in a contest that I had submitted an online entry for within the last year. I didn't enter any contest. Must be a scam.
I received a call from this phone number on cell phone. Left a message to say I won a SUV from an online entry from last year. Call to speak with Heidi at a toll free number 1-866-993-2017 Ext. 211.
Received a call from number that we won a 2007 Lincoln Navigator from an online entry form. Wasn't sure if it was real or not as I've entered several sweepstakes, but something about the generic name "Prize Claim Center" got me to look around the internet. I was told to call back 1-866-993-2017 extension 205.
I received the same message today 11/21/2007 0n this number that i won a Lincoln Navigator. First I thought it's real and become suspicious when I called this number. caller ID = 1-618-993-2017 leave message no. = 1-866-993-2017 ext. 215 caller name = Janet Smith
same here but a 7733859668 was told to call a russell at 18663846910. caller id came up as prize comm- dont remember entering and they gave me my husbands e-mail address with my information...sounded kinda screwy so I looked up online for scams involving lincoln navigator and heres were I ended up at! :) It kills me to think how many people these guys get by these calls, NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION!!! Thats how they get you and you can look up anyones address by just having their name, or number so its not suprising that they know your information so even if they sound legit never give your info, if all else fails look them up online and check the BBB's website, if they are not on BBB then screwem.
I just got a call today from Anya Foster on my cell phone and the number on the caller ID read 773-637-4898 but the number she left on the voicemail was 1-866-384-6910 and of course I had to look it up. SHe mentioned the same thing about the Lincoln Navigator prize.
Well there at it again! Got a message stating I won a Lincoln Navigator and to call a toll free number to claim my prize. The call came from a Sandra Roman Phone # 773-698-8804, the toll free number is 1-866-480-4554. Beware!
Got a call today saying my name was drawn as a finalist for a cadillac escalade. 'Eric' said it would be in my best interested to contact him as soon as possible at 1-866-993-2017 ext. 209.
Thanks to these post, I know it must be some kind of scam, won't bother calling back.
Got a call saying I won a SUV by some contest. I don't do contests so I immediately became suspicious. Looked up number in Google (best search engine ever) and this popped up. Thanks for the posts. Another crooked scam foiled by the internet!
Same as the info above... Call from "Ruth" at Prize Claim Center... Finalist for a 2007 Cadillac Escalade. Funny that the 866# is the same as the phone # that called? Who are these losers???
I don't enter online contests but listened to the guy's spill. Said I was guaranteed to win 1 of 5 prizes (Escalade being the top prize)...Gave me the address for the 90 minutes hustle at 8911 N. Capital Of Texas HiWay (Austin, TX). Was told I needed 2 forms of ID and must bring my wife. Google "Global Excapes" for more...
I listened to his little rant answering any questions with a simple one word answer (sure, yes, no, okay). I won the prize because my email was one of the ones chosen by going to some site called "Explore Dictionary"?? HUH!?
So I am guarenteed to win one of four prizes..a 2008 Lincoln Navigator! A 3 day, 2 night trip to Florida! $2,500 cash! OR (as he said, the very least I can walk away with) a 32" Flat Screen TV!
All I have to do is Go to a 90 Minute "Fun" Meeting being held by Westgate Resorts to "celebrate" their success. When I am there, they will hand me a scratcher style ticket which will have my prize.
Oh yeah, because I have a wife, she has to be there "just in case you win the Navigator so she can sign papers". Oh, yeah and dont forget to bring two forms of ID, one has to be a drivers license, the other a major credit card "you do have a major credit card, right?"
He tried to get me to sign up for the presentation, but I told him I am out of town until after the holidays and he told me to "call him directly because he has the details of my account"
Thanks Ted, I will make sure I call you, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but make sure you are sitting there right by your phone waiting for my call!
"Rick Falling" called my cell. Left a message that I won a Lincoln Navigator SUV from a contest I entered last year. "In my best interest to call him back at 866-993-2017 ext 206 as soon as possible."
Not falling for it thanks to google and these posts!
Just did a search online for the 618-993-2017 on www.whitepages.com. I selected the reverse lookup option at the top. this is the info that came up: Justin Morganwork 1301 Enterprise Way Marion, IL 62959-4442 (618) 993-2017 Type: Land Line Provider: Verizon Location: Marion, IL Job title: Owner Company: Prize Claim Center Morganwork sounds like a made up name to me, hope this gets the bastards good.
Got a call from "Brian" at the Prize Claim Center. He told my wife that she won one of three prizes, either a Lincoln Navigator, $250k, and I forget the third prize. After searching around the Net this looks extremely suspicious, due to the fact that they wanted to verify that we are over 30, make more than $45k, and want us to come to a "meeting" at some hotel in Park City. Here's the reverse phone number lookup info:
