A few days ago I got a call saying I won a cold hard cash cool cars sweepstake. Its like i'm under the age of 17.They even knew my name they said I put my name in for a raphle. IT LIKE OMG!!!IT A STUPID SCAM!!!  This is their  number (207)191-8961 and they said to call this number and ask for Jon Coner 1-888-774-2004

They continue to keep calling my job. They left a message to contact AMBER WHITE AT (800) 913-5539 This only a sales pitch.

i also received this call from Cathy Sumner. Caller id 7272607383 to call 8002535524.  glad i looked this up on internet. i was pretty excited for a moment, having lost my job, my husband died, and my unemployment just ended.  not fair, not fair at all. Karma will get you...

I'm glad I "googled" this sweepstakes.  I was left a message just like the others.  I didn't call the person back.  But, it did bother me for a few days thinking the "Change Your Life" sweepstakes sounded familiar.  Then, I realized, it if was legitimate, they would make sure they contacted me and not just leave a recorded message.  It's very irritating how many recorded calls we get during the day.  I am on the "Do Not Call" registry.  But, how can you warn a recording that they are breaking the law by calling you?  Frustrating!

Received voice mail when I got home from Robert York regarding a Hybrid Cadillac I had won (or one of 4 other prizes) and wanted me to call him back on 800-577-7137 extension 8064.  Caller ID logged the call as coming in from 708-441-8064.  Not EVEN going to waste my time.  Although, I may call back the 800# about 500 times to run up thier bill :-)

I also received this message. I called back and a man answered and said he was the receptionist, but couldn't tell me anything about the company or the "prize".  They keep calling my cell phone but do not leave messages. Obviously a scam.

I got the exact same call! either a lincoln navigator, trip for 2 to somewhere, a $2500 certificate, or a flat screen tv. Talk about a letdown! I guess if it sounds too good 2 be true then it is:( Wow. that is a mean scam to play on people who really cant afford any of that stuff!

I got a voice message from Cathy Sumner too stating that I entered a Change Your Life Sweepstakes, and she had very good news for me.Cathy Sumner must be real popular she has called a few folks. She stated the contest was to win a Lincoln Navigator or other great prizes.She called Private. She asked that I call her back at 800-253-5524. I never signed up for any sweepstake. So I knew right of the bat it was a SCAM! Do not call them back. These people are clearly trying to get over on other people. Do not be gullable steer clear of this mess. But the funny thing is my phone detects and blocks callers such as Telemarketer. My phone put her in a blocked folder and listed the call as TRR Telemarketing, so this is just simply a telemarketing caller.

Rcieved the phone call saying we won a Lincoln Navigator. We called, and scheduled the 90 minute presentation, that is not suppose to be a timeshare. We had another question after the phone call was done, so we called back. The guy claimed my boyfriend was under the influence, so I got on the phone, and the guy continued to swear at me. I asked.."did you just swear at me?" and he said "yes, S-H-I-T" I asked for his supervisor and he said he was the only one there. He would not state what company he was working for, nor his location and gave me a name of Jim.

If you want to be spoken to rudely, and enjoy scams, go ahead and respond, but beware!!!

2/16/11 call received.  1 773 733 4123 id number (TRR Research).  Message left:  1 800 253 5524 call back number.  Cathy Sumtner contact.  Change Your Life "contest".  Lincoln Navigator "one of the prizes".  Guess we'll miss out on this "time sensitive" prize.

I got this message twice from two different callers. caller id showed a number 931-840-8952, the other one was 804-212-4973.  Both times congratulating me that I had won  one of the top three prizes.  One was a Lincoln Navigator the other was a Ford Explorer or 25k.  What ever happened to the do not call list?  Do you have to reup, every year?

Yep.  Got a call today from a "Cathy Sumner" claiming to be with some idiotic sweepstakes and told me I had won blah blah blah (via a pre-recorded message).  I don't enter sweepstakes so I knew immediately this was a total scam.  I hope they are holding their breath for me to call back.....

11-16-2010 Obviously the scam is continuing because I got the exact same call yesterday saying my husband won and the wording was exactly the same as those calls stated here.  I am SO glad I googled "Lincoln Navigator Sweepstakes"!!  I asked what prize he won, and they would only say "one of four prizes".  Thanks to all those who have posted these comments - I certainly will not be calling them back!  You know, they never did say which company they were from and the only thing showing on my caller id was "awards office".

I also received this call twice from two different numbers and callers. Same M.O. Lincoln Navigator or $45K, trip for two, $2,500 cash, or a 32' Flat screen TV. Was told of Drawing "Open House" at a local Hotel. Give an entry number. Gonna pass on going

I, too, received a call this am at work and was asked to return a call to Dario Davis at 1-800-227-1773 stating I had been a state selected recipient.  There were three grand prizes which one of which was guaranteed.  It was either a 2010 BMW Mini Cooper, 20K cash and a paid vacation for two or a digital camcorder.  I must travel into the city (which would cost us each $500) and my S.O. and I had to be there in person to claim the prize.  I guess I was desperate needing the cash to pay bills I believed it until my s.o. was a doubting thomas.  I shouldn't be so dumb!!

Got this call 10 minutes ago and as soon as I told them I became unemployed and my total income was much less they said I was no longer qualified....

Poor Stacy___She probably has 16 kids, a mortgage, hugh medical bills ,a low paying job and SHE"S riding around in MY Navigator !!!!!! Enjoy it Stacy. I never really saw myself driving it anyway .

Same spill here.. I questioned her company's credentials and she avoided answering and tried to transfer me...garbage.

I just got a msg from a Stacy at 800-428-9083.  Thanks to this site, I now know this to be a scam.  I actually entered a contest recently, but since she didn't address me directly by the name I provided, I figured she is just cold calling people.  Thanks everyone for your input!

I also got the same call from Kathy Sumner stating I was a winner in a contest I entered. But I didn't enter any contests since Publishers Clearing House many many years ago. The call came in as an Illinois call 312-428-4013. I called back and asked who sponsored the sweepstakes and got two different answers from two different people. One person told me it was Global Travel and the other was Awards Claim/Change Your Life Sweepstakes.....never heard of it.  Wife and I were going to go but changed our minds. Sounds to good to be true.  I was e-mailed some information and what got e-mailed was for contest out of Ormand FL with Ford Explorer or $25K as top prize.  I found it strange and replied to e-mail as I was told it was a Lincoln Navigator or $45K.  It was also strange that my claim number ITC-564 was the same.  You would think it would be different.

Recv'd call from 972-734-5188 saying i'd won change your life challenge which so sounds like something i'd throw my name in the hat for-Lincoln Navigator prize awaiting upon my calling Susan StClair(sp?) at 1800-585-1026-I couldn't even win an already been chewed piece of gum if I tried-so thankfully my 1st instinct was to visit this ever so helpful site.-Thanks:)

Just got a call from Global World Travel claiming that i am aone of four winner of prize like a lincoln navagiator, 2,500 in cash, 3day 2 night trip, or 32' plasma tv. Is this really a scam?

Well the contest is "Officially Over" as of last Thursday and I won the Lincoln Navigator - LOL

I'm to call Suzanne St. Claire @ 1-800-585-1026; my caller id showed the call came from 972-734-5140, not the 800 number but same spiel!

No calling back for me...

A pre-recorded message that I had won a prize in "The Change of Life" Sweepstakes. I am to call Stacy at 800-428-9083. No other details. I did a search and reverse phone number look-up. Nothing. I doubt if I will call back. I have never had a judging agency call me on a Sunday!

Change your life sweepstakes; same exact recital as others reported here on this site.

Scam---look out for these people. Dont give out your information. Hang up on them or dont answer the phone. Said "you entered a contest back in 08." Hello, 2 yrs to find me - get real.

12/30/09 Received a call from GEORGE at the Prize Fulfillment Center and to call him at 800-558-0796.  I was a "winner" of a NEW car and that this is not a time-share call or a telemarketer...baloney!  Never called them back because I never use my home number for anything.  Another scam.  Be careful people, its that time of year and scum bags like to prey on people...Glad I went to this website.  You could tell it was from a call center from the voices in the background.  My message on my machine says...hello...hello?  then I pause, then I leave my "sorry can't take your call right now" message.   Usually aggravates the telemarketers so they don't call back. I am reporting them to the Gov. Agency that I am registered with on the DO NOT CALL LIST!

Got a call from 231-30-4792. Said we have won a Navigator or other prizes and please call Kathy Sumner at 800-253-5524.  Something smells like a phishing scam to collect personal data for credit fraud.  not calling back!
