I just now got the Chris Blue
same number
NOT going to call it

The same call as Beth and Paul, just now.

Pat Lee concurrently called both telephone lines to our house. Each line showed a different originating telephone number...but the same message was left on both answering machines. Looks like a telemarketer using some sort of a predictive dialer.

I received the same call today, as everyone else posting here. I didn't call back....blocked the number from my phone. I knew it had to be a scam......I wouldn't try to win a Dodge...I'm strictly a Chevy person! LOL

Received the call from "Pat Lee" 708 898-1602 ext. 200, typed in the number and ended up here. I did not return the call but if "she" calls again, I'll give her false info and see what the spiel is about.

I got the exact same message today as everyone has mentioned above. Mine was from Chris Blue. It sounded more like a man to me. Anyway, I did not enter a contest so immediately thought this was a scam & Googled. So thankful for all the previous posts. Don't call back!

Got the same phone call, and a few others about free stuff.... I think it is bill collectors looking for family members...

So, here's my take on it. This month, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketers. Yes, they will now be able to eat up your minutes. The caveate about the Do Not Call List is that people you've "done business with" can call you even if your number is on the list. Each time someone calls this number (or others), you are establishing a "business relationship", thus exempting your number from these callers. Put your cell number on the FTC Cell Phone Do Not Call List (800-382-1222). You must call from the number you want on the list. Hope this helps.

This is a total scam.

My mother got a call from Pat Lee at 708-898-1602 ext. 200.  They left a message telling my mother that she won a Dodge Durango SUV.

Was called today by this Chris Blue 708-898-1602. Same thing, I won a contest I've never entered. These people should be put in jail just for bothering so many people!

Got a call today the number was 708-898-1602 it didn't look familiar so i didn't answer.  Checked my messages from a Pat Lee saying that I was entered into a contest and that I won a Dodge Durango.    Thought something wasn't right about this..  tried calling back.. no answer..

First I got a call from 708-856-0193, which I did not pick up- the caller id said Denise, Bryant. Later got a call on my answering machine from "Chris Blue" saying it was imperative that I call him back at 708-898-1602 Ext. 200, to claim my Dodge for which I had supposedly filled out an entry form. According to the other posts, there are an awful lot of Dodges being given away. LOL.
Needless to say, I did not give "Chris" a call back.

Message from Chris Blue, I could not determine gender as message was a bit garbled. I was a finalist for either a ford or dodge SUV based on an entry claim I completed. I was to return the call.I did not complete an entry form.

As of today we have been called three days in a row.

I WON I WON I WON    YEAH RIGHT..........Googled the number and found this page,  thanks for all the info.  I got called twice from Pat Lee saying she had great news about a contest I entered for a dodge.  I of course didn't enter any such drawing.

Should we start posting these phone numbers to social media (like Facebook) and start a mass calling back when we get these calls??  I, too, search numbers that call, and ALWAYS find posting threads discussing the scams.....

Chris Blue must be getting a blister on her finger from all these calls!  Same message as every one else...."very good news" and about a contest I'd entered for a new Dodge Durango, or Ford SUV.  I never realized I was so lucky!!  Wonder what I'd have won if I ACTUALLY entered a drawing??  Typical Scam site, looking for info.  HOPE YOURE NOT DUMB ENOUGH TO OBLIGE THEM!

Same here scam!!! Never entered a contest. Especially for a Dodge!!!

Ditto did not call back.  I almost aways google an unknown number.  No need to pay for a long distance call to some scam artist.  Thank you everyone who contributes to this site.

708-898-1602   (http://www.whitepages.com/phone/1-708-898-1602)

I don't know what reverse look up you did don but this is the link

Entry, unknown to me, for  Dodge Durango you should call Pat Lee back at it. Didn't bother returning call after reading the comments. Thanks 800 notes and participants.

I did not enter this contest!!!

The White Pages also lists Nady.  However, through my own experience with my home phone,  have found that phone information at online sites is notoriously outdated.  In my case, I have had my phone for two years and yet when a reverse lookup is done, it comes up to someone else.

When I did a reverse look up through anywho.com, it shows this:  Shawn Nady, 6407 Hummingbird Ct., Matteson, IL 60443.

Same number, Chris blue and 200 ext like others with message on a new ford or dodge SUV contest win that I didn't enter..  Thank you 800notes and friends:) !!!

I recently received a couple of calls from Chris Blue @ this number which he identified as "American Claim Center," also claiming that I am a finalist in a drawing to win a brand new SUV. The caller left a message stating that it was very imperative that I call them back.

I performed a call-trace through Verizon after each of these calls came in and then I called the number back. The person whom answered was not Chris Blue, though they stated that they are his associate. I proceeded to ask how I was entered in this prize drawing to which the person replied, that it could have been something I did online or anything a family member might have done, etc...

When I pressured the person for more info they became very defensive and insisted that it was impossible for them to explain how I was entered into this contest. I them simply hung up the phone.

I called it back again the next day just to see if I could gather some more intel and when someone answered, I immediately asked them what company they represent. Their response was "World Wide Incorporated." After I explained that I was calling to gather some more info because I received a phone call claiming I was a finalist, they said, "Okay" and then simply hung up on me.

I decided to call them back one more time and I explained that I received a phone call that I was a prize finalist, to which they immediately asked me for my name. I replied that before we proceed, I needed more info from them. The man whom answered the phone said, I can't tell you anything unless I get your name first. I immediately told the guy not to be pushy with me to which he then simply hung up the phone.

It's blatantly obvious this is a SCAM and so therefore, I've decided to file a report about it with my local Police Department and in addition I also file a formal complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at:     [  http://www.ic3.gov/about/default.aspx  ]

This website accepts online complaints of this nature, even if it is simply a phone scam. Just follow the link to 'File a Complaint' and fill out and submit the form.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is!
