The old "I filled out something and won something" scam.

Of course, I never filled anything out.

left a vm that I won a Marriot hotel stay in the city of my choice including Honolulu.  They knew I would fly out of SEATAC and referenced it.

Called once let it ring. immediately called back again and I let it ring. Happened before. nuisance

I got the same call. Marriott Hotel and airfare package from Seatac. Appeared to be a scam as I don't recall ever signing up for a contest a year ago. I didn't bother returning the call but letting you all know that the calls are still happening.

Just received this call, and I answered, listened to the recording and debated pressing 1 because I honestly couldn't recall if I filled out anything in the past year. Sometimes I do, so I wasn't sure. Then I Googled the phone number and found this. Thank goodness for this page, I've uncovered so many scam phone calls and sales pitches in the last few years thanks to this site.

Got a call as well, same scammy call. Didnt bother calling back.

Same call and free airfare + Mariott story as above ... apparently random dialing, since I don't give out this phone #... and don't believe in freebie contests. I guess the only thing they know about you is the area code they called.
I'd be curious whether anybody had a follow-up contact or email... The address of the alleged new travel agency given is in fact a Hotel room.  The requirement to present id and credit card no is suspicious. Maybe they just hit you on the head if you show up.

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.

Just got the exact same call in the middle of class. I didn't even know I had a spouse! Thanks Mike Kennedy. Most likely spam and I wouldn't recommend answering this number.

Called again. Last time was about two weeks ago. Same scam.

Scam

Same thing as every one else defiantly some type of scam. Left on cell phone looked up the number and seen these post, Not calling.

I received the same call and knew i had not entered in anything in years but thought what the hell. Called the number and they did want you to give them the correct spelling of your name and your spouse but would need to view a CC in order to pick up the travel voucher. Also for attending you would receive a $100 dinner card good at 50 Puget Sound restaurants. I still thought OK what the hell I will bite.They were suppose to send a confirmation code and but never did

Received this same call today on my cell phone and they left a message.  Did not call back.

received it today. Didn't bother to call back. The trans of msg

Same mariot hotel, airfare for 2 adults anywhere in usa including honolulu, out of seatac.

He never said the name of the contest or where, just that it was "a year ago" and he was calling from "tuquilla, wa".
He made an emphasis that there is no purchase, nor will there ever be one, and this is not a time share. I bet they want your info so they can "check you in" or something, really they will steal any info you give them.

Scam

Just got the call. Thanks to all the comments on this website, I will not bother responding to it.

Same spiel. Free trip for 2 at a Marriott...Blah blah.
I guess the scam must still work. Otherwise they'd be on to something else.

I received the same phone call stating I had entered a contest last year and my spouse and I were winners of free airfare and hotel stay in any major city. I called the number back thinking it was too good to be true, it was. When I called back, the recording stated their records showed that I am marriage or living with a partner and am over 30-years-old. As I am not living with anyone and am 25-years-old, I hung up immediately. My opinion - total scam.
