Called my cell phone and hung up when I answered.

18883339801  2533339525 - I actually went through with the process and went to the seminar.  90 + minutes from hell.  A guy name Jim called me from the 253 number( which i think is from Tacoma WA) telling me I  won a prize trip to a resort or 3-4 night Cruise with airfare included BLAH BLAH BLAH... all I had to do was tell my friends and family about the company VI (Vacation International)  Which by the way has a C- rating on BBB.com.  I'm in sales and management field myself, and I must say that I had THE WORST experience with the folks at VI.  I almost felt like I was at a MLM(multi level marketing) companies presentation.  At least their they don?t force you to buy a timeshare package for $17k.  Some of the staff looked like they were under the influence.  They were very nice and accommodating at first but if you didn?t show interest in buying, they turned into a pack of wolves ready to chew you up.  NOW, I don?t mind a company with an aggressive style for selling there product.  But deceiving and lying to your prospect does not get anyone anywhere.  If I knew that I was going to a timeshare company, who will degrade and disrespect there prospective customers then I would have told Jim to take the trip for himself.  CHEESE AND RICE!

I just got called from them as well. They said I entered a drawing "at some movie theater" which isn't true. I called the woman out on this and she got all snippy with me and said not to call them again. I guess that got me off the list thank goodness!

I have recieved a message from 253-333-9168 and it says I signed up for a contest and won a few "free" prizes....what sould I do?

I have been receiving calls for the last week from Patty at DCM saying she has prizes on hold for me from some drawing I entered. I don't remember entering any drawing and I was wondering how the hell they got my phone number. The only thing I can figure out is maybe they got it from the activities welcome breakfast my husband and I sat through when we were on our honeymoon in Maui last Sept. I figured it was probably a scam but I decided to google it. Thanks to all the posts, I won't bother calling them back at 888-333-9801 like they requested. I hate this loophole in the do not call registry.

Ask them to take your name off the list. Give them other numbers as well that they can not call. They follow the DNC list but chances are you signed an entry form voiding that(fine print on the back of the form for sponsors of the drawing.". If you need to leave a message do so. They have to have your name and number that they called you on to take you "out of the drawing" and to never call that number again. They will not call...they are too small of a company to have to worry about the attorney general on their back.

Ask them to "TAKE YOUR NAME OFF THE LIST" leave a message with claim number if needed and the phone number they called as well and your name. Give them other numbers as well so they are never able to call the numbers. They follow the DNC list otherwise the Attorney Generals office will be all over them.

*Even if you register with the DNC list most entry forms are signed allowing the drawings funders to call you. Sucks I know, read the fine print.

they are no good

Also watch out for # 253-333-9524.  Same deal.  I have won some fabulous pricing and to place call Yvonne at 888-333-9801.  What a crock!!

Thanks for the posts. I checked my voice mail on home phone and someone from Vacation International with a phone number 18883339801 (caller representative Rayne) mentioned only my first name and said that I have won a drawing in a store, shopping or something like it and that I should call the phone number above. It sounded suspicions so I decided to check the phone number online for potential scams and I saw this post. Thanks for the warnings!

Same as the rest of you, thanks for posting very helpful site for tracking this crap!

Thanks

Just received a call asking for either myself or my husband (by first name only) from a lady stating that she was from DCM(DATA CONTROL MANAGEMENT) saying that one of us had entered a drawing and that we had been picked to receive some "awsome prizes". Gave me another number (18883339801 ext. 715) to call saying they would tell us what our "prizes"were and answer any questions we had. Thanks to all your posts we know not to bother with them! Thanx 2 All!!!!

I also entered a drawing at a Street of Dreams event and have been receiving these phone calls ever since! At first I received calls from someone claiming I could win a trip to Vegas or a sound system. I knew it was for a timeshare because my friend had received a call like this and had to sit through a 90 minute seminar.

Now I am receiving calls and voicemails from an elderly sounding lady named Barbara from DCM telling me I won a drawing at a grocery store, mall, etc and she has some great prizes on hold and left an 800 number to call.

This is so ridiculous. I want these people to stop calling me with their stupid scams! I just wanted a nice bench at the Street of Dreams, not these ridiculous calls for a year. And they always call late, around 8-9pm Pacific Time.

I also get a call from this number or a variation of this number every day. I called it back today and someone answered with a simple "DCM" No hello, this is: or anything. The lady on the phone asked for my name and claimed I had won a package from a drawing I had entered in the last 4 months. The only drawing I entered was for a $500 dollar shopping spree to Home Depot at a Street of Dreams event. Bottom line, and I've learned my lesson now, never enter a drawing, no matter how good the prize seems, because they will sell your information to scam artists like "DCM"

I just got a call, and they call themselves DCM, with another phone number that they want me to call back, to get "prizes", it's 1-877-846-2058, ext 55

They are people calling from a Time Share company saying that you have won a prize if you just sit through their 90min seminar. It's a joke.

just got a call today from that #, any idea

Same Situation here and my number is on the do not call list.

Same situation. Calls my cell several times. Also uses 253-333-9166 and 253-333-9624. Tried to call back and get a busy signal or it just continually rings.

Never leaves message.  Has called me several times.  I have tried to call back, but get a busy signal.  They have also called me using this number 253-333-9166.  How do I get them to stop!?!
