I've been getting voice mails on my cell for 6 months from this number telling me to call 866-430-3180 ext. 124. Always a recording from "Melvin" at the "Notification Center" telling me I entered to win a car (I NEVER give out my cell # to people I don't know and I don't enter contests). Saying they're aware of the do not call list (I am on it and have reported at least 5 of their calls), that it's in my best interest to call back and that he has called multiple times and this is his last attempt (promises, promises!).
When I've tried to answer the calls there is no one there. I called back the number "Melvin" left about 3 months ago and reached a woman who said she would put me on their do not call list. I still got calls from them. Now this week I'm getting the same voice message from "Melvin" from a different #:708-248-7796, asking me to call him at a new #: 888-284-8918 ext. 124. I called from my home phone, dialing *67 first to block my name and number from appearing on their end. I reached a woman who said "Let me get my do not call list so I can add you" (really? a hard copy list, not in their computer?). She then said she would add my # to her list and she read me my HOME phone # that I had tried to block AND my husband's name to their do not call list. I said that's fine, but I also want my cell # on the list so they stop the calls the've been making to it. She said OK and again gave my husband's name as the owner of the cell #. Soooo, what kind of equipment do they have that can get caller ID from blocked calls?

They gave an address which was a hotel which sounded like a sales pitch and talked about a local car dealership that was going to give me a car, then they said something about me bringing my wife, and that was when I knew this was completely bogus. My cell phone disconnected due to a bad signal, and I am about to change the number anyway.

The message on the machine said "Have been trying to reach you for the last 12 - 18 months. This is not a cold call. You have won one of 4 major appliances. If you hadn't entered the contest, we wouldn't be calling you. Please call to claim your prize. This is Melvin and you can reach me at..."
Sure sounds like a scam. Not gonna return the call.

Received a voice mail from 312-789-5686 saying that I won something and to call back a toll-free number - where are these guys from? Most have nationwide toll-free calling these days don't we? Also said they were aware of the do not call list and this was not a cold call. Who uses that term except someone making a cold call?

Just got a call saying the same as others, I had the same experience earlier this week when I picked up the phone a man said he dialed the wrong number. I asked who he was calling and he hung up. They always call at 8 am. This is Saturday and they woke me up. Not happy with them
| NOTIFICATIONS 2012-06-07 16:01:30 Unknown |
I said hello and immediately a woman said she had the wrong number and have a nice day. Caller ID says NOTIFICATIONS.
| wavewater 2012-05-27 12:56:06 Unknown |
Same thing -- Just received a call from this number at 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning; when I answered Hello, it took a few seconds before a male voice said "Oh, I'm sorry, I called the wrong number I am looking for a David"!
| Mo 2012-05-26 00:32:23 Unknown |
received a call on hubby's phone from this number. he answered and a guy said, "Sorry, wrong number." we're on the Do Not Call list also.
| Annoyed 2012-05-25 22:40:59 Unknown |
This person has called several times and always claims that she (is a woman of color) has the wrong number and to have a nice day. It is annoying, as she has called several times over the past month or so....does she think that I don't remember? Does anyone know how to block certain numbers?

People, if u are getting the "Sorry, wrong number" bs, don't fall for it. MANY companies use this tactic... call from a call center, if they get an answer, then they know when u are home so they can call back! The robo calls are programmed to dial massive amount of numbers. They keep tabs on which numbers are answered and at what time of day call was answered. THEN they call you back with the REAL bs telemarketing - Not saying that THIS number is a telemarketer. Just saying they are not giving u the "Sorry wrong number" BECAUSE they see u are on the do not call registry. Sorry but it doesn't work that way.
Also pretty sure a collection agency CANNOT use the fact that u called them to count as you agreeing to a debt. They may TRY but how can they prove the actual debtor is the one that called them? Use your common sense.

This number has been calling me everyday, I answered thephone and male voice said" sorry I called the wrong number please excuse me"
| Cindy 2012-05-03 18:14:03 Unknown |
Just got a call from this number, caller ID reads:Out of Area-312-789-5686, I answered with "hello" and then the gentleman only said, "Oh I'm sorry I have the wrong number, have a nice day" and then he hung up. Guess he must have realized I'm on the do not call registry?? Stupid people.
| Not Given 2012-04-30 23:29:35 Debt Collector |
Believe this may be a collection agency. They want you to call them back so they can show that you called them on their phone logs. They can use that information to mess-up your credit report. If a debt is past the statute of limitations, all they have to do is say they spoke with you about a debt you owe. That means you acknowledged a debt you owe. Now they can put it on your credit report for another seven years and all of a sudden you have reset the statute of limitations on an expired old debt that some company bought for pennies on the dollar. It may not even be yours. Whatever you do, don't give them your personal info. If you do decide to call them back, block/disable your caller ID/make private before you call so they can't see who you are. Seriously, though, don't even call these people.

There is no contest, and you're not a winner. The reason they hang up is because they're just checking to see if it's a valid number for text and other promotions. This is how online mailing lists verify information.
| RA 2012-04-26 18:07:22 Unknown |
Several times have answered this call and a male voice states, "I do apologize I have dialed the wrong number". The 312 area code is the Chicago area.
| Mark 2012-04-25 19:17:25 Unknown |
Virtually the ame as gene commented on April 14 when I answered the phone a man stated that he was sorry, he had the wrong number and told me to have a nice day. Strange though, as I hadn't answered with my name and he first mentioned "David", but before I could say a word...he skipped to having the wrong number. My guess is they play the recording to voice mail only.
| Syre 2012-04-19 20:42:23 Unknown |
Like the folks above, they left no message just dead air.
So I called back and it was a Black Womans voice simply saying plesae dial the ext you wish to reach and then rang and rang and rang. They need to dissapear...
| Questos 2012-04-17 05:17:29 Unknown |
It's a pre-recorded message. If you notice they didn't say who they were, what the car it was, your name and how it was won.
| philalethist 2012-04-16 23:43:19 Unknown |
Just got a call from 312-789-5686, caller ID showed "Chicago", same as all the above, have the wrong number, have a nice day. Bogus
| Ge Ge 2012-04-16 18:53:04 Unknown |
Caller calls every four to seven days and does NOT leave a message. I don't pick up the call because the caller is NOT identified -- if it's a legitimate call, I'll get back to them. Caller ID only shows ILLINOIS CALL. Annoying jerks!!!
| mater 2012-04-15 16:16:30 Unknown |
Got a call from 'Melvin' at 9:30 Sunday am, he left a message about the great car i won, that i had entered my phone number on something a while ago or they couldn't have called because of the 'do not call' list, and stated that they were a legitimate call. I never put my phone number on anything, bad bad scammer!
| gene 2012-04-14 19:09:59 Unknown |
When I answered the phone a man stated he had the wrong number and told me to have a nice day.
| Legion 2012-04-14 04:05:57 Unknown |
got the same thing. these jerks are calling me ay least 2x a week now. I called number back and got a computer voice asking me for party extension. Caller ID says Quality Prizes.
| Chailai 2012-04-13 22:57:07 Unknown |
I got the very same message. The phone call interrupted our dinner, most annoying.
| cat woman 2012-04-13 00:23:25 Unknown |
Got a call from this number on two different lines. Both said "Sorry, I have the wrong number." Called it back and had to enter an extension. Just guessed and got a voice mail box that still did not identify who was calling.
| Dave 2012-04-11 01:06:06 Telemarketer |
Same nonsense as above. Scam calls. annoying....
| Ellen 2012-04-05 15:33:01 Telemarketer |
They called and had a scripted "Im sorry I have the wrong number, please have a good day". Maybe their auto dialer realized I am on a DO NOT Call list?
| Mike 2012-04-01 18:29:34 Unknown |
Same story as above....this needs to stop.
| Mike 2012-04-01 17:47:58 Unknown |
Hi everyone,
I got a call from the same number and this guy...(Melvin???) said..(sounded like a recording) that I had to call back because I had won a major prize and rattled off an 866 # that I couldn't even copy down fast enough...oh well it must be a scam. Has anyone called them back??? just curious as to what they are going to say...
