801-221-2945

Grace Gardner wanting to speak to person at office.  Said he was not there.  She asked for any manager.  She said wanted to confirm phone number and that we won a prize.  Phone number to call her back not even the same area code as caller id

Received a phone call on 4/10/09.  Caller said he was from Federal Financial Group, and when I asked supplied me with the following website: www.federalfinancialgroup.com, supposedly a new company in my area.  The caller said his name was Marcus.  The caller ID identified his phone number as from is 425-986-3133 Maple Vally, WA.  He said I had won a scratch off contest that I had not entered, and said that if I wanted to know any more information, I would have to agree to answer his questions, and then he would let me speak to his supervisor.

Received same call from Federal Financial Group.  They asked three questions:   My Age range, my income range (top was 40,000 up), and a time to meet with me to discuss insurance options.  Said that just by meeting with them, they would provide me a scratch card that I could win one of 4 prizes, guanteed..  (Ford Explorer, 27" Flat screen, trip to Bahamas, or $2,500 in cash.

Sounds too good to be true.  I went ahead and gave them some information.
They gave me the website and call back number, as www.federalfinancialgroup.com, phone was 801-221-2945.

I called said number, IMS personell answered.  I asked for the company name, and was told it is  i- Marketing Solutions, or possibly (Internet Marketing Solutions).  They informed me that they are the marketing arm, and appointment scheduler for Federal Financial Group.

I went ahead and scheduled an appointment.  Will let you know the outcome.

On 07/07/09 a woman called me by the name of Mary and said that I won a ford explorer.I was already suspect because when I asked her a number of questions she seem to be stressed to answer them.Whoever these people are they had our address information and everything.I called back the number 18014322126 and I got a voicemail.I don't understand why people have to scam why can't they make an honest living.

How did the appointment with Federal Financial Group go?  Did they actually give you a chance to win something? Thanks.

They now have a new number 1-262-995-9702 Racine, WI

Caller says the name of their company is Federal Financial Group

Same gimick about sending a scratch card where you can win a Ford Explorer, etc.  Wanted to verify name and address information.

Same scam and offer as previous posts. Only new number is 1-866-517-2945.Iasked for their website so I could check them out first and got www.ffg2.com which takes you to Federal Financial Group.The women was a real fast talker with the same scratch off promotion.

Same call, man with heavy accent said I had won a scratch off guaranteed to win a ford explorer, $2500.00, or a cruise....the web site was www.ffg2 and phone number 866-517-2945.....it has scam written all over it. Nothing in life is FREE.....

I got a call this morning and was told that I reveived a scratch off card prize. I asked the phone # for several times finally was told: 866-517-2945.  I called this # few times, didn't have a chance to talk with a life person.

Well,
After carefully questioning the IMS caller for FFG, not giving any real personal info, and certainly not my home address! I was reading a ton of posts similar to those above, and decided to take a shot at calling some of the #'s that were posted as well as the one I was called from (OREM UTAH) 8014322126 -rec'd VM only w/ a removal request msg. I then called the 8012212945, reached a live person through there choices offered (#4) and Tiffany answered the call, she was very polite, and I told her I've read too much bad publicity online and would like my appt canceled (which I set up at a friends restaurant) and she asked for the # I gave them and said that she would be happy to cancel the appt and thanked me for calling in and doing so.
In my opinion, if it sounds crazy, it is, and follow up if you want and cancel if you feel like you made a mistake. I also asked her to remove me from their call list and she agreed to do so as well. Odd, I am on the no call list for my cell & land line and they reached me via cell phone? Well, problem solved, and anyone who wants to enter the contest can do so by following the rules on their link found on google, its simple, but then they have your info again!
Be vigillant about all of these people you don't know, and research and ask questions while on the phone w/ them it works just fine that way too.
Stay away from too good too be true stuff people -wise up!

i made a appointment with this guy local
he came out and talked about retirement and such then gave me scatch off and i won a cruise ...

will get back if its legit

the company is really legit

they showed me some good ideas

I just got a call from them as well... Number came in as 801-990-8566.
Same info on the scratcher and 4 possible winnings... blah blah!

I asked him what it was all about. He said his company is expanding in our area, blah blah!
I'm in the Anaheim area.

It all sounds very fishy to me.
Can anyone confirm that they really did receive the prizes???

yes coz i won the brand new ford explorer

yes ms. j i won the ford explorer

I just got a call with the same offer. After checking out a forum asking about them--Here's what I think-- I'm not sure if they deliver wth the prizes--but the reason for this is to qualify you as a potential insurance policy customer.  they offer leads to sales people. Thats their thing. They get salesmen to pay them and they give leads. These phone class are just names and income info with phone number for insurance sales people to call later.

Just got a call from this Federal Financial Group regarding a scratch off. She called the company number. I work as a receptionist for a major oil industry and don't have time to waste talking to a telemarketer. So I immediately googled the name of the company as she proceeded to give me the hoopla about no purchase being necessary. I found the Google results, told her that our company is definitely not interested, wished her a great day, and hung up.
