Same as other poster.. I had won a free trip that either me or a family member had entered..

Deff bogus..

Free boat ride?  Don't answer...spam call

Scam from inter-island promotions.  Don't answer.  Run.

This is a bogus number - my family doesn't apply for free trips.

I waited to see if anything else would happen and stayed on the line without pressing buttons, the call just hung up.

Eh, whatever.

I had won a free trip..

I just got the same message on my cell only different number 433-550-7940.I called back and the massage was the same saying that I had been picked and won! What a scam they even said it's free but I need to bring a credit card ya right free. Well I've got a can of dehydrated water for for sell free...

Just got the same thing told me I had to come to a conference in Katy, TX to redeem.

Got the same call on my cell, but I'm in Houston. I may call back on my home phone. Sometimes people can steal your phone minutes off your cell and stuff. But I don't think it's for real. I always wondered how on earth would I know when I do fill out those contest entries, when and if I win, are they for real??? lol

I just got the same phone message  from JKA described by the others.  A family member entered our number and we've won two free tickets, yada, yada, yada.   Have 48 hours to claim my "prize".    I'm in central NJ and thought I already was on the no-call list with my cell phone -- but now will make sure I'm on there!

Just missed call from this number as well.

I'm Morris County, NJ - My cell number is currently on verizon but was originally on sprint, in case that helps/matters to anyone looking into this.

I just received the same call at 10:36 AM on my cell phone. I let it go to voicemail and got a message saying I had won two tickets for a drawing that one of my "family members" had entered.

This is ridiculous!

I'm also in northern NJ and just got a phone call. I pressed the numbers and went all the way through, same thing as everyone else but they actually did mention a city in northern NJ where the "Reception" was being held and where we could "pick up our tickets." At the end you were supposed to leave your name and phone number so they could call you back, but I hung up at that point. Sounds fishy for sure. I looked up the address they claimed you were supposed to go to, there is a law firm and financial firm there.

Just got me too.  I'm also in Charlotte, NC.

It can't be originating from Verizon I have AT&T and I am in NJ too ...don't know how they got my cell number I never give it out? I hope this is not a precurser on more solicitation from other number I am going to put my number on the national Do Not Call list see if it helps!

Thanks for contributing to forum...this is a great place to give and get feedback I use it often for similar incidents

Received call on my cell listened to message ...from promotional dept. of JKA say message as everyone else 2 free tickes...call back 48 hours ...I did not fill out any entry form nor did anyone in my family ...this has scam written all over it ...don't waste your time responding.

kja promotions...won a 3day 2 nite trip to vegas/orlando or some place else...
gotta be a scam...just delete it....
NEVER agree to pay a 'nominal' fee for anything like this...
now they have your card # or ss#....
legit companies do NOT do business like this!

Just got the same call and answered by mistake. Hope I done get a phone bill for answering.

they dont charge you anything

I dont like these things but a free trip in this economy sounded real nice to me. the presentation I went to was laughable merly but I walked out with a gift cert for a trip that i got to pay taxes on only. i guess its not bad for my time.

its not verizons fault. i had the same problem. I put all my numbers on the NAtional DNC list and they stoped calling me. google the national  do not call list and put all numbers you dont want to be called on the website its very secure. they wont give any info out its all computerized.

I'm in Northern NJ and just got the message, too. I did a Google search for the phone number 877-209-3600 and was led to this forum.

I've read through the messages and wanted to add a comment to help build the case that they seem to be targeting this area.

I did not call the number back nor do I have any plans to do so, although I was told that "a family member" entered some drawing and we won (my family members would NEVER give out my cell phone number).

All I can say is that if it looks like a scam, sounds like a scam, and smells like a scam...it's probably a scam.

402-982-0855 & 562-289-8137 & 240-699-8950 & 800-277-2515 same spammer!  I just got the same call to my cell phone.  402-982-0855.  My cell phone number is very private.  I don't do business on it.  I only use it for touching base with local family.  They did not get my number from my family nor friends.  I called Verizon to ask how the spammer got my private cell phone number.  Verizon claims ignorance.  Funny how Verizon will profit from this scam though.  They get to charge me more money because I answered my cell phone from a spam call.  I asked Verizon if I could be credited the money for the call.  Verizon said no.  I asked if Verizon could block the phone number from calling me again.  Verizon said no.  I asked if they would be willing to submit a complaint to some appropriate agency like the FCC, the BBB, or the police.  They said no.  They told me I have to do that myself.  They recommended I post my comment here and then submit a complaint to the BBB myself.  I will.  I asked Verizon about no call lists.  They said there is a no call list for cell phones and said I can google it.  I don't know if I should go on that list with my cell phone.  That's just one more organization that has my cell number out there.  One more organization where a disgruntled employee, looking to make a buck, can sell lists from.  Did a Verizon employee sell the list?  Is Verizon leaking numbers on purpose to make more money off of spam calls?  Are they purposefully lax in their security because of the profits they will reap?  They sure were not helpful in prosecuting the culprit.

Exact same thing, Northern NJ. They must be going state by state trying to rip people off

I live in Morris County in Northern NJ and I got the same scam call two days ago from JKA from 402-982-0855 and the message on my voice mail was about calling back within 48 hours to claim my two plane tickets and hotel stay. Unbelievable.  First couple of seconds of the voicemail was cut off so I didn't catch the name the lady had but I imagine it was one of the names mentioned already.

Just got the call from1-402-982-0855 @ 1:23p 3/24/10. I am in Northern NJ. I knew it was kind of fishy fromm the elation in her voice but I decided to press 1 just to see what it was (or what they would say). I presumed that bu pressing 1 I'd get a real live operator but I but decided to hang within 5 sec. into the recording. Does anyone know if the charge you for pressing any of the optioned numbers on the keypad? Thanks. Watch out guys.

got a phone call at 7:35 3/23/10 from 402-982-0696 asking for a Mike Johnson or his wife, didn't say who they were or what it was about, just hung up when I told him, he wasn't home, it's my son, he has no wife.  We are on a do not call list, apparently that list is totally worthless just like our government in stopping these calls, I am ready to turn off my phones.  I hate these calls.

Same Ann Callahan call, but it's JKA Promotions. I listened to it four times to make sure. JKA.
