888-301-0702

Ah!  Thanks, I was wondering how the scam worked.  Lots of people getting calls but wasn't sure what the catch was.

Got the call from Melanie today for my 50,000 Home Makeover.  Verbatum of the calls reported.  Will not return the call.

I got the call too. Not sure of the callers name i received message off machine and erased. Called the number and didn't get an answer.

rcvd the same message as everyone else - difference is, I'm an avid sweeper

8/21/12 - Just received the call from the 888-301-0702 ext. 421 - "Ellie".  I figured it was too good to be true so went straight to the internet.  Thanks for the info. !

Just received my "Elle" phone call today.  Wow!  This company must think we r all stupid.  Is there anyway to report them and stop this insanity?  I still have the recording on my answering machine if they need proof.

I got a call from this number, stating that I had won a drawing and that I was one out of
   50. My namw would be entered in a drawing.

Wow, I got the call that I won the $50K home make-over, too! After reading 20 messages from whom also received the winning call from Ellie, I wonder how many houses she can spread the $50K.  

Ellie needs a make-over.

(Don't answer any calls from the Verification Center or Ellie. She's a scam.)

Call from 888-303-0232 ext 696 saying I was drawn last night for the 50,000 home makeover.  This must be a scam.

Ahh, the internet is so useful.  

Like the other hundred people who have posted already, I just listened to a voice mail message saying that my name had been drawn in a 50,000 $ home makeover contest.  I don’t recall signing up for that.   Anyways, the call was from “Cindy” and she had veeerrryy good news.  She wanted me to call her back at 888-303-0230 ext.696.   The call itself originated from 1-800-300-5761.   I’m not going to bother with this scammer, since apparently about a hundred people have “won.”(not that they actually say you won, just that your name had been drawn)   It’s nice to have this kind of info to counter scammers.  
Thank you to everyone who has posted so far, I appreciate it!   

Ellie at ext 421.  I also apparently won the 50,000 makeover "last night"

Thanks to the users here I won't be claiming my 50k from 888-303-0232 either :)

Thank you all. I just got a call this morning from Cindy who also had veeeery good news. In fact, Cindy sounded recorded! Since my husband is a carpenter, I would never sign up for a home makeover anything, because I've seen what those shows do to people's houses. So I was veeeery suspicious! Glad you all reported this!

Received this call two times yesterday ( after I told them I wasn't Mrs. Garcia and I live in a small Senior apt.) they then called again today! What a bunch of creeps. I too am on the Do Not Call List........so much for that!

Got the same message from Cynthia about 2 weeks ago on August 24, 2012.  Different 800 number though - 888-303-0232. Finally got around to calling back, same deal - no answer, no answering machine etc.

Yep. Cindy called. Same scam.

HA!  This is the best way to get back at them!  Andy Rooney once suggested that you do something like this for unwanted mail you get.  If the sender includes a postage paid envelope, remove anything with your name on what they sent you and then send their stuff back to them, postage paid for, by them!  Maybe they will get the message.  Anyway, I like your style!

Just had same type of call last night from 888.303.0232 x696 by a "Cindy".  $50 thou home makeover from entry we must have made over the last 12 mos. which we hadn't.  I didn't call  but wanted to see if any online complaints were posted. Thanks for this post!

9/26/12 - got same message from verification center - from Ellie. Knew it was a scam.  Deleted message thanks to this website..

Got the message from Cindy today. First thing I did was check this site because I don't fill out these type of surveys/contests. Thank you everyone for assuring me it was a scam.

I did try to call - no answer and no voicemail. :)
