They called saying that I won a trip. Person on other line had a thick accent and it sounded Indian but not really sure. Seems like a scam saying that I filled out a form at a mall in Ohio for this trip

Didn't leave a message.

Person called me at 8:30am saying they were calling from Global Center. When I asked how convo help you the man disconnected the call. He had a thick Asian accent. Called back the number is disconnected.

*make sure u check your phone bill. I had a company attach a service to my bill for 10.00 a month.

Answered this number at 9:30 a.m. and Said hello and
Call disconnected

Received call on cellphone, didn't answer, left no message. Thanks for the posts, they help.

They called at 10:00 am and I didnt pick up and they didn't leave a message. Tried calling back but all I got was weird noises.

Answered and they hung up

called and didn't leave a message...  says it's from Fairborn, oh.   Don't know anyone there

Got the same phone call.  Guy with a very thick accent claimed I won a trip. He said he was calling from the National Grand Center.  He told me a manager is going to call me back with details. Now that I think about it, I don't remember him ever using my name.  I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

I too received a call at about 8 PM but I did not get to the phone in time.  I am in Louisiana and have no one I know from there (anymore).  They left no message.  Put them on me list of disregard calls.

Also from Louisiana, got a call a few mins ago, they hung up once i answered without saying a word.

Got a call around noon. Picked up, the other person did not say anything. Call lasted 11 sec and disconnected.

got the call a 6:30 am!!! the girl sounded like some computer and said a filled the form during christmas I hung up after no reply. Scam

Called me and when i said hello the call disconnected.

SPAM!! Didn't answer but rang it back - got voicemail that didn't identify anything. I left a message stating that I already have a lawsuit pending for calls such as these via do not call list, and if they call again, I'd be happy to trace them and add them to the list of defendants in my civil suit. Now no, I don't have pending litigation, but hopefully it scares them off.

Got the call this afternoon...answered and played along.  searched the # while talking with the guy with the thick accent.  Said he was from National Grand Center and I won a trip...someone in my household filled out a ballot.  LOL, wouldn't happen.  Anyways, there were a couple of options for the trip...his supervisor called me back...they knew my last name.  Tried to get me to agree to go to a local place for a presentation and to pick up my voucher for the free vacation.  Nothing in life is free...can't imagine it is real.

The call was from Deerbornistan, Michigan. U.S. headquarters for ISIS. Keep hanging up. If they keep bothering you then contact the DHS (Dept of Homoland security) to see why they are allowed to stay.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

Report your callers here, not just to the DNC alone:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

Called, did not answer as I know no one in Ohio. Blocked, even though I am on the useless "DO NOT CALL" registry (FCC; an example of wasted tax money by our government!), after reading previous comments.

>> I am on the useless "DO NOT CALL" registry   <<

Exactly how is the DNC list useless?

Legitimate telemarketers use it to prevent calls to registrants.  Just think - if there were no such list, you would be getting calls from BOTH legitimate and scam "telemarketers".

The DNC list is NOT a call blocker! If you thought it was, you are very much mistaken.

The DNC list does not apply to charities, political calls, surveys, debt collectors or companies with which you did business in the last 18 months.

The DNC list is ignored by spammers and scammers, and those criminals usually use VOIP or burner phones, and cannot be easily traced.  Kristi Thompson of the FCC explained that it can take her anywhere from five to ten subpoenas to trace a single robocall back to its origin

Is there ANY law that is 100% effective in preventing criminals from disobeying it?

The FTC penalizes organizations located in the USA that violate DNC provisions, but only if those organizations are identified!  Have you done your part to identify your callers?

The DNC organization does not sell its list to non-registered telemarketers.

All this information, and more, is available on the DNC site, for those who have the cerebral capacity to read and understand.  Apparently you do not qualify, but prefer to mislabel things that you do not understand.

If you want more protection than provided by the DNC list, get a call blocker app, device, or service, and learn how to use it correctly.  Try a little self-responsibility!
