DC Lawyer - 16 Oct 2007I also got a call from Lisa Fox (x150) saying that I was a finalist to win an Explorer or Escalade based on a sweepstakes I had entered (I entered no such sweepstakes). I didn't call back.

AnotherOne - 23 Oct 2007Got this call too - I'm in AZ. Like how they use the word "Finalist" - not falling for it. Called it back from a private # and it says, 'prize claim center.' Further research indicates that this is a company that attempts to get people to claim a prize in order to make a sale for a product that does not likely exist. I worked for a company similar to this when I was still sweet and innocent. Wow. I learned fast about how desperate people are to steal your money. Be careful all!

jw - 29 Aug 2008Got the same call from Tim Lu with Sweepstakes Promotion.
I called to drill them about where they got my info. Said it was from a company called United Travel that has entry drop boxes all over several states in shopping malls, etc. I knew I had not ebtered any such contest. I asked them why I'm a finalist and not a winner. her replied that I was definately a winner of of of their top 4 finalist prizes then transferred me to another operator to verify my information. The woman he transferred to asked me to verify that I was so and so and located in Illinois and that I was between the ages of 30-and 72 or something (way too braod a category for it to even be a category of a legit sweepstakes). Said I was married and my husband and I make between 40 and 70k annual income combined. I told her I have never been married and that I could tell it was bullshit and she immediately hung up.

Elkwoman - 7 Nov 2007Got call from Chris Kuba 11/7/07. I was finalist and won
Ford Explorer or Cadillac. I do enter contests, but
something about the call-back number did not seem right,
so got on internet and checked it out. Glad I did.

louis - 11 Nov 2007Looks like Craig (or Chris for some!) Kuba is making the rounds! Glad I did a search and never called back. I never enter contests, so I knew something was up.
The message gave 888-493-8245 ext. 150 also. The guy said it is 'in your best interest' to call him back as soon as possible because I was selected as a finalist for the ford explorer or a cadillac escalade.

louis - 11 Nov 2007received a call around 11/7/207 from a Craig Kuba at 888-493-8245 ext. 150.
The message begins conveniently in mid-sentence, so i never heard where they were from. He states that I've been selected as a finalist in a contest for winning a ford explorer or a cadillac escalade. i never entered such a contest.
he says to call him back asap, and that doing so is in my best interest.
