877-418-2687

Could they get more personal data from you doing this kind of stuff??

Received a call from a SImone Lorry about winning a Ford Escape with a message to call this number.  That number is identified as belonging to Bill Russell. It sounds like a complete scam.

I received a call from Diane Foster asking for (me) at (my full mailing address) regarding an entry form I had submitted (I don't recall entering a contests) for a Ford Explorer or smaller prizes.  The contest is now over and my entry was selected as a winner!  Congratulations!  I was told to call my "Prize Director" (no name was given) at 1-877-416-2687.  After checking out the posts below, I will not return any calls.  Coincidentally, I received another phone call the same day telling me I had won a cruise.  I would expect any legitimate firm running a contest would notify you in writing for legal reasons.

I received the same call today.  I never use my home number for contests, only my work number.  So I was immediately suspicious.  I used *67 to block my phone ID & called the 877 number.  I got a recording to please leave my name and number and they would call me back in 15 minutes!  I'm not calling this number back and I recommend that no one else should call them either.

Also - the original phone call was from 312-546-4457, last name "GRIFFIN", which I traced back to the L3 Communications CLEC in Chicago, IL.

Got the same thing today and was asked to call Bill Russell.  I was also told that it was a new travel agency in Sterling, Virginia, called Premier (of course, no such thing exists).  I love how they pronounced things, too...  

Them - "Your winning N-Tuh-Ree guarantees you one of 4 major prizes!"
Me - "My what?"
Them - "Your N-Tuh-Ree."
Me - "I have no idea what that is.  Are you speaking English?"

Just got the same BS message from these idiots that everybody else is receiving.  Guess those losers dont know that my entire family is law enforcement (local, state and federal)  oops they messed with the wrong guy.

Got called by the same bunch today. Unknown caller ID, 877-418-2687, Dianne Foster asking me to call the prize director

Its a scam they want you to wire money to "pay the taxes" so they can give your prize. Very common scam...stay away from it..

same message same caller

This scam works on the call back method.  I listerned to the whole sales pitch and asked questions as if i was interested.  My notes agree with many found on this page.  Bill Russel, guaranteed four prizes, a six-letter code, and an appointment at the hampton inn, which was supposed to be "Virgin Travel".  when I asked if there was any way to claim my prize without traveling to a hotel, there was a pause and then a NO.  It is a true "call-back" scam.

i got the same call.  The caller ID said R Griffin & the phone # was 312-546-4527.  I was to call the 877 number, ask for Mr. Russell, & I would need to go to Sterling, VA.  Thanks to the above & related other postings, I won't waste my time.

I just got the call too and googled to get infomation. Mine said R Griffin as well said they are in Chicago but the phone number was showing as a local number for my area. I to was told to call Mr. Russell at 866-659-0483. I did and left the message. When they called back it was no Mr. Russell but a young lady. I asked if it was a time share? She said no with a different tone in her voice. I asked because to claim my prize I could not bring my kids with me and I must come with my husband. The name of the company they told me was Virgin Travel. Nothing came up for me when I google exept the 8774182687 scam everything eles was about the airline. I told my husband and he said it was BS as well. Wonder what they are trying to do???

I want to thank you and everyone eles who posted about this. It was the only thing that came up when I tried google for Virgin Travel. Gotta love the internet it helps ppl stay safe. One question what is a "call back method"?

Thank you,
Sandy

Definitely a scam.  Concur with everythign luigi wrote.  Received the same pitch...Bill Russell; Virgin Travel; guaranteed winner of one of four prizes.  Asked to confirm my age bracket-"28-72yrs old"!!! and marital status.  Call abruptly ended with "you will receive additional information in the mail" when I began asking simple questions.

the number they used is 1-866-659-0483

Got the same call, called back. Sounds like a scam to me too, or at the very least a way to trap you in a room for an one-hour sales pitch. Has anyone actually gone?
