Thanks a bunch for all of these posts!

I got THE SAME call (I'm in Atlanta GA) and almost called back....I am so glad I didn't - thank you for saving me the frustration and aggravation!!

Just received a call from "Christopher" also.  The phone number was 708-248-7117.
Thanks for the heads up!

Got the same phone call from "Christopher" yesterday in N. Carolina. Call came from 773-891-5645 with listed name of Prize Crd Srvc.

got the same call in Jersey yesterday.. Christopher was the name. I filed a complaint. If everyone else has filed complaints it doesn't appear to work. Does the do not call list even work?

Got the same call this week in Raleigh Nc. Thanks to everyone for the heads up on this.

Live near Raleigh, NC and got the same message from "Christopher" today.  Looks like they are making the rounds in NC now.  Thanks to all for posting helpful info.

Yep same here in Fuquay this morning!

Same deal here Raleigh NC, caller ID showed 'Prz Card Svcs' the other day. I erased it from the phone but finally got around to listening to the message today. As others have said, Christopher, busy guy that he is, was calling me to tell me I had a prize from I drawing I entered blah blah blah.

These people really are stupid. With so many consumers on to their scam you'd think they'd at least try something original.

Same thing here in PA tonight. Don't plan on calling the scammer~

Just got the same call twice within 1 minute of each other. Same "Patrick" person and the same song and dance... " You entered a contest...blah, blah, blah.."  "This is our last attempt to contact you..."
I'm in PA.  I didn't answer it either time but they only left 1 message..  What a crock of crap !!

Looks like they are heading south.  Samea cll. New place Raleigh, North Carolina.

Got the call this morning in Raleigh

Just got the call here in Atlanta from Christopher (identical to first message) but garbled from 77-891-5645 Prize Card Srvc on caller id.  This should be illegal.  Menacing: "It's in your best interest to call me back."  Thank you to all before me for reporting this.  I filed complaint with the Do Not Call Registry on-line.

The number that called was  773-891-5645.

Received the exact same message just a few minutes ago and did a search on prize card services but the last four numbers were 5645........I figured it was a SCAM.

Linthicum, MD

thanks for the messages everyone!  I am on the DNC and will report em for what it's worth! My wife took the message but had me check em out. SSDD.

they called me this morning this time is Miesha, the number is from Chicago but nonpublished.
Said my name was pulled from an entry up to 18 months ago.  I would definitely be the winner of
one of four prizes which included a new car.  Said do not delay in calling back because it was time sensitive and this was not a hoax because she would not be calling if it were.  Ha. The toll free number given is 866-312-9553 ext2443 but caller id is Prize crd srvc  number 773-891-5645.  beware contests are never that long

773-891-5581 Prize Crd Srvc was the number on the caller ID, but the voice message left at 2:12 this afternoon told me to call back at 866-312-9553 X 243.  The lady's name was Michelle and she said everything quoted in everyone else's notes I just read...that I won one of the top four prizes of something I had entered 12 to 18 months ago...blah blah blah.  Tonight I called the number back to see who would answer...and since it is late Friday night, January 28, I got a recording that it was Vandell Communications as "Michelle" had said.  I did not leave a message and decided to pull up info on the internet to check it out.  Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is.  So glad everyone posted their experiences.  It looks like they are making rounds to the midwest. We are on the do not call list and do not appreciate this.

Looks like a different number hitting Missouri this morning.  From Prize Crd Srvc.  According to a reverse look-up, this number belongs to an Earnestine Harris out of Matteson, IL.  Did a hang-up call to me this morning at 7:59 a.m. on Saturday, 2-19-11

Just got same call in Carol Stream, IL

Within 24 hours, my caller ID showed that "Vandell Communi" called twice, from 2 different numbers. First a woman, then a man both left a message saying the'd called in error and apologized. The other number was 708-825-1518 (south and SW suburban Chicago). This number (773-891-5629) is a Chicago number.

I'm in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

Whoops, looks like they made it to Florida also. Thanks for all the info.

Just got the exact same message and call in Virginia, from "Sean".  I knew it was a scam right away.  Stay away from these people.

Same call from a Chris, about filling out some form so he can call do not call list.. blah blah.. said my name was pulled and I won some major appliance.

Thanks for the heads up

the number he left was 708-248-7155 and said the ext to dial was 109.

SCAM

Got the same scam call here in Florida today, 2-24-2011.  Same song and dance as well.

Same as others, first Michelle with exact message, waited a few days and called back today to see what the deal was  I went to James' voice mail, he returned the call and stated he was the prize coordinator. This time I was able to make out the company name allowing me to search and fine this site.  Thank you... I do fill out prize cards every once in a while, so I guess they have the right to call me BUT they should be upfront with how it all works.  They are not, therefore I will not be calling back.    I would like to thank the woman who went through the full front end of the process giving us all a heads up.

We heard from Michele this weekend.  Same spiel. It's terrible, I'm sure lots of people get taken in.

Same thing here in Kansas.  Got a message from Michelle at Vanguard Communication.  Told to call Michelle at 866-312-9553 Ext. 243 because I had one of the top 4 prizes.  Same routine about knowing about the DNC list.  I called the number to see what info I could try to get.  I got a recording that "Joseph" was not available, and to leave my name & phone number.  The caller ID said Prize CRD SRVC from 773-891-5645.  I am also on the Do Not Call LIst and don't appreciate it either.

Same thing here in Kansas.  I am also on the Do Not Call LIst and don't appreciate it either. Bunch of unethical criminals.

Call this morning, around 8:30am, from Christopher with same message.  Live in KS side of KC Metro.  Annoying.
