866-781-5289

Got a call from this number claiming I had won a car or one four prizes after I had entered a contest at a mall. Any call from "Bill Russell" is a total scam. Please google his name "Bill Russell Prize director". There are many negative posts! Buyer beware!!

We received the same call on a voicemail message.

Call from Bill Russell, prize director, stating I'd won a 2014 Ford Explorer.  Based on checking online, concluded it was a scam to obtain personal information.

I received the same call from Bill Russell and I'm SO glad I checked online - Thank you.

Got a call from Bill Russel today saying that I had won a 2014 Ford Explorer or one of three other prizes from either an online entry or entry at a mall. He said they had mailed documents to my house and got no response and this was there last attempt at contacting me. He said to call 866-781-5289 as soon as possible.
The first thing that raised my suspicion was that he had left a number on my home phone, which I never give out to people and certainly wouldn't put on a raffle of any sort. Then I entered the phone number into Google and wouldn't ya know, Bill Russel's name popped up! Needless to say I won't be calling Mr. Hussle, I mean Mr. Russel back.

Got a call from someone claiming that I entered a contest and won one of 4 prizes and I was to call 866-781-5289 and ask for Mr. Russell.   Caller Id was 914-363-6668.  When you call it back its a number that's not in service.  Total Scam....

Hi just received the same call and glad I looked up the number. I too received the call from 914-363-6668

Got a message from this clown on my answering machine. Looked up the toll free number and quickly determined it was a scam. Wish I had a dime for every one of these calls that come across the wires daily. I would be a millionaire!

Someone left a message saying he was Mr. Bill Russel and that I had one a Ford Explorer OR one of three other prizes and that this was the last attempt he would make at reaching me. He said, this is not a debt collector or a call for solicitation but that I had already won the prize. He then left a number from a prize center. Because I did fill out a few of those over the last few months, like an idiot, I called back. However, a person claiming to be Bill Russel answered and said he would be sending out documents again. That was it, then he hung up. Ive been scared ever since but I did not give him any information except for verifying my name and address.

Got the same message at 1:10 EST today.  

Thank you. I just received the same message.

same message today at about 1pm.

Got the same call.
Won from online or at a mall.  Funny, I never fill those out unless a town or school fundraiser.
Claimed mailed documents to my house and this was last attempt.
Won a 2014 Ford explorer or three other prizes.  
Left the 866-781-5289
Look up number online and found this information.

Thanks to all that took the time to post!

Received the exact same call.  Thanks to all for their previous posts.  The message from Mr. Russell will be promptly deleted.  What happened to the Do Not Call Registry? I registered my number months ago.

Just received same exact call..! Amazing how this guy can say "You have won this prize, congratulations!"..and get away with it. Truly feel bad for anyone who gets scammed by this jerk. Love this site, great information!

Got this message from a woman, called ID reads 914-363-6638:
"this message is for [gave my name and home address]" The she said she is from the office of Bill Russel and I had won a brand new 2014 Ford Explorer or one of three other prizes from either an online entry or entry at a local shopping mall. She said they had mailed documents to my house and got no response and this was there last attempt at contacting me.
Of course I did not enter any contest, and there was no paperwork received, and now I googled the number and came upon this. Thank you everyone. What happened to the Do Not Call Registry???

Yep, same as all the others here.  Didn't bother to call back.

Yup - exact same message.  Except that it was for my son, at a phone number he would never use.  So I called them back.  It's one of those - come to an informational meeting and sit there for 90 minutes and then scratch off a card to claim your prize.  Being that they are a "travel company", I'm sure the 3 day/2 night vacation in Orlando, Las Vegas or Atlantic City will be what most people will "win".  She actually emailed me - said my son did not have an email on his "entry" which, of course, never existed.  I feel bad for the people who fall for these things, so I just hope that my wasting some of her time will account for one less person to get duped.

The scammer must have hit robo dial on his phone and entered random numbers, I received the same message Thursday.

I recieved the same call as the others.  I never enter contests; so I know it was a prank or a scam.
