8009184224

I got this call on my business line today.  It went something like this: Hello, this is Many I am calling from the Awards Claim Center and have been tring to get in contact with you about your free Ford Explorer or 25,000 dollars.  You must call me back immediately at 1-800-918-4224, this is your final notice.  Your claim number is WB764.  

I'm glad I found this site, and registered at www.donotcall.gov.
Also, call your local phone provider and they can help you block the number(s).

I recieved a phone message at work from Doris about my $20,000 check that she's holding in front of her that was made out to me.  HAHAHAHA  I google'd the number (800) 918-4224 and found this wonderful information.  If it sounds to good to be true, then it usually is.

I received a call from "Doris" saying similar things, except this time she said it was because I won $20,000. I thought it sounded shady and checked this first, so I am glad I didn't call back. But I work for the government and they called me at work. They must be pretty desperate. Too bad these guys can't get in more trouble for this kind of stuff!

same as everyone else, except i couldnt get any calls to go through, just silence. i      have read others  reports on this # but am still confused as to its purpose....anyone?

HAHA   you idiot.... You just made yourself look like a complete IDIOT!   They are the only ones who would hire me???   lmaoooo looks like you got fired and your a bit disgruntled!   Get a life you low life piece of crap!

I got the same thing. Doris from Award Claim Center 1-800-918-4224. Came from 434-878-9976. Neither number worked

I got a voicemail at work from Doris at Award Claim Center for $20K cash with a code. Number on voicemail was 1-800-918-4224 but number on phone was 434-878-9976. Neither number worked. If it was real, I'm sure they'd have my home phone

I've gotten at least 6 VM's from Mandy syaing I won a Ford Explorer or 25K. Being an IT professional I am always weary of random calls and e-mails. I googled the number cause I'm sick of them spamming my work VM.
Anywho- I'm think I'm going to call them and nag them like -Roffles

Call from "Anthony" from Awards Claim Center....I won $25,000/2009 Ford Explorer, please call back at 1-888-578-1485 to find out how I can pick up my prize without and cost to me.  They had an old email address that's about 5-8 yrs old.....What a SCAM

Received several calls from "Anthony" who told my fiance' we entered a contest about 9 months ago to win a Ford Explorer and we were picked. We will have to go down to the office closest to us and scratch off a ticket to see if we have won either the Ford Explorer, $25,000 cash, or a flat screen tv. Supposedly we are "guaranteed" these things. And also they need a credit card for "identification purposes" and also you have to be over the age of 25 and make an income of $50,000 a year. Yea, if that was the case why would I have entered this contest anyway, since none of this pertains to me. What a bunch of people with no lives who want to give us hope for a magnificent prize for no reason!!!

has any acually called these people back. i mean come on yuo have to call them back to no if it is a scam. UR VERY SMART AND IM DUMB THATS Y IVE MADE A PERFECT SCORE ON THE EOG 6 YEARS STRAIGHT. BEAT DAT

hey, stupid,
I think it takes gutts to tell the truth.And to turn your back to bad way of life .How dare you call people peace of [***]? does that make you feel better?
If more people like him did the same, we all would not have to talk about it.
For the rest of you, you have heard again and again ; what is too good to be true is not!!!!
Also it existe some compagnies like PPL pre paid legal services, that would help you to know what and when it is a scam. ( some scams are really well made )
By the way I got a phone call from 1 888-578-1483 to tell me I won one of the 3 major prizes.
If they call back... I think I am going to have so much fun....
Be nice Joe with other, being nasty just bring dark into lives.

Ok, thank you,
I was just answering the message of Joe from march 2008.I was telling him to be nice . Guess what I got a call from same n0
The name is Foam??? She said I just won one of the 3 major prizes from a 2009 ford explorer give away contest.
They got my phone from my old email Yahoo.com.( I stopped yahoo.com because I kept receiving crap email and scams)
By the way the First name she gave me is on my answer machine is not the same first name you hear on her anwer machine when you call back.
I am going to let them call me back and have fun with it....
You know give them a little bit of their own medecine, or scare them a bit.

Here is their phone no again: 1 888-578-1483.

They are at it again. This time they are targeting residents in the State of Louisiana.

Income qualifications vary depending on the state called, hence the queries. They are just doing their job.

Can I sue the consumer?  Can the consumer prove they never surfed the web, never text messaged, never left a phone message, ... This website looks like it was constructed by a law firm or a rival hospitality group.  Consumers make requests whether on land lines or cell phones--They surf the web, they text mail, they don't read the rules, terms/conditions of whatever they are surfing, they fill out surveys, ask for products, inquire of travel arrangements, hotel accommodatons, lottery, sweepstakes, contests, free stuff, whatever.  They made the request.  They made the inquiry.  Telephone sales representatives respond to the request.  The consumer provided the phone number.  The WEB is run on phone lines whether cell or land line.  I don't understand why they say so mean "how did you get my cell phone number" and start arguing with me.  I don't know where they surfed the web, I don't know what they requested, they do so why are they mad?  They were the ones on the web surfing, responding to ads.  I am polite to them. I don't understand where they feel they have the right to yell at me on the phone, call me all kinds of names, raise my blood pressure, have me crying at the job.  If they are not interested, why don't they just simply say I'm not interested, but they may be interested.  What's so wrong about giving someone a gift or a prize anyway?  Are they not satisfied with a trip?  What's wrong about learning about the travel services anyway?  What's wrong with a seminar?  Is there something wrong in attending a presentation?  They reduce me to tears deliberately.  I feel I equally have rights too.  I am politely offering a product that they had requested, whether they remember or not.  Why are they yelling at me?  The consumer is verbally assaulting me.  They are threatening my job, Giving me anxiety through providing customer service.  What about my rights? This goes for all telephone sales representatives, where are our rights?  This lawfirm is threatening my job.   IIED was created in tort law to address a problem that would arise when applying the common law form of assault. The common law tort of assault did not allow for liability when the threat was not imminent. A common case would be a future threat of harm that would not constitute common law assault, but would nevertheless cause emotional harm to the recipient. IIED was created to guard against this kind of emotional abuse, thereby allowing a victim of emotional distress to receive compensation in situations where he or she would otherwise be barred from compensation under the common law form.
Originally at common law, a plaintiff could not recover for physical injury from fright alone absent an impact even though the defendant was shown to have operated a railroad negligently (shock without impact).  Even with intentional conduct, absent material damage, claims for emotional harm were similarly barred. "Mental pain or anxiety, the law cannot value, and does not pretend to redress, when the unlawful act causes that alone. Though where a material damage occurs, and is connected with it, it is impossible a jury, in estimating it, should altogether overlook the feelings of the party interested."  Courts had been reluctant to accept a tort for emotional harm for fear of opening a "wide door" to frivolous claims.
