8668616525

I got the same voicemail from Pierre about 10 minutes ago.

I also received a call from this number. This is the text of the voicemail left by Peter. "Hi this is Peter with the notification Department. Just calling in regards to the entry that was submitted sometime at the beginning of the year in regards to our twenty five thousand dollar holiday cash give away. Well the contest is officially over we are looking at your entry and we have fantastic news for ya. What we need you to do is give us a call as soon as possible toll free at 18668616525. Again that's toll free 18668616525. We do need to hear from you as soon as possible and congratulations."

Yup....  Pierre called today and left the exact same voice message.  Maybe we've all just become cynical.  We really could all be winners and just need to let Pierre know what our bank account numbers are...  This is the time for miracles

Call came from Pierre from the "notification dept" also regarding the $25K cash or home makeover giveaway.  My application had been "pulled" and would be placed in another drawing for the final prize.

I got the same message.  Pierre.  Notification dept-- like that's not vague or anything...  A holiday drawing I entered at the beginning of the year-- that sounds fishy; who runs a holiday giveaway at the beginning of the year?  So, I started googling this callback number, and have found only scam alerts.  I have entered a couple of drawings, but they were through organizations I am sure would identify themselves if they were to try to contact me... and I don't give phone numbers on entry forms.  SCAM!

I got this message from pierre saying i won $25,000. Didnt call back. Gotta be a scam.

I got the call at 4:00 pm  and Pierre left a voicemail saying the exact same thing said to everyone else that has posted.  I reported it on the Do Not Call  List website...hopefully that makes him stop.

Just got the scam phone call too.  Not calling 1-866-861-6525.  Original call came from
1-312-488-1851 with a name of Bill Bentley.

I won!! I won!!! Thanks Pierre, thank you!!! Ha!

I received my call 12/16/13 7:30pm  Will not be calling back.  Thanks for all the post!

Well I don't know about all the rest of you losers.  Pierre assured us we won.  has called twice now and is firm.  WE won.

So I don't want any of you all calling and trying to collect our $25,000 holiday money that we entered for early this year..

Once I get the money I will share with each of you.

Ho Ho Ho . . . . .

(thanks for posting!)

I just got this same voicemail at 10:08 December 17, 2013 and it's definitely a fake after I saw all the other posts. I say that because I enter a LOT of sweepstakes and such and can't possibly remember them all. That is why I do a search online and voilà I found this website with these posts. I thought it important enough to post myself for those doing the same Internet search. Please don't fall for this scam!

Received call around 10:15 on 12/17/13 telling me the same thing as every one else

Got this call from Pierre as well. SCAM

Just came home to find the same phone message - "entry holiday cash giveaway" "good news" "
call back", etc.  Did not leave his name this time.  Why don't we all pool our winnings and send this guy Pierre on vacation to a hostile planet?  I don't know what bothers me most.... the fact that these scammers pull this kind of ruse..... or the fact that they think we are dumb enough to fall for it.  Nice try, Pierre.  Get a job!

I received a call from this number as well. His name is Pierre stating he has good news for me. He states I entered a $25,000 sweepstakes at the beginning of the year.  He said he was calling from the notification departmentI knew it was a scam when he did not give a company name, did not say my name, did not specifically say I won, but only said he had good news.  Plus the phone number he called from was 323-393-1028 which is not the same as the call back number. Lets just say SCAM!  I feel bad for people who's identities have been stolen.  .  

Just received the same scam message.

It's too bad there are so many scams at this or any time of year. This isn't the first time I have recd a call from Pierre. What a joke. Can't he be stopped?  I am a senior and feel these scams are targeting my age bracket. Unfortunately not everyone realizes it's not true.

Very true! Anytime the caller asks for money for "tax's" or other fee's, its a scam no matter what it is for!  If you win something, you get it, no fee's, no tax's, its free.
