I got one of those calls from Bill . They have a new number 866-313-031
Can't wait to pick up my new SUV , sure !

Caller "Hi this is Alex with the National Gift Center calling in regards to the entry form you submitted in the grand giveaway sweepstakes in hopes of winning the new Lincoln Navigator. Give the office a call at 866-401-4626. Again that is toll free 866-401-4626. There is a time limit. Again this is Alex .. will be waiting on your call. Once again congratulations."  
For one thing I would never fill out an entry form for a Lincoln Navigator. I prefer small fuel efficient cars. So I knew this was a scam right away.

I RECEIVED A CALL FROM ALEX AND I WANT THE PHONE CALLS TO STOP ASAP

Just got a cal from Phil with the National Gift Center, re: the contest we entered.  Didn't even give the name of the contest, or what it was for.  Wanted me to call back at 866.401.4262.  Caller ID showed 312.625.5540.

We don't enter contests.

Got a call from Bill from Prize Distribution center.  Said to call about the Lincoln Navigator giveaway....once again congratulations!  Asked me to call back 866 401 4626.  

I never signed up for any contest.

Got a message from "Bill" about a contest for a Lincoln Navigator, I didn't remember entering, but I thought I might have and forgotten about it.  They asked me to call back 866 401 4626 about some "good news."

I called back and asked for "Bill," but was asked to "verify my entry form," by answering some demographic information.  When I was skeptical of giving them more information about myself, the operator became nasty and rude and hung up on me.

Got a call from Bill from Prize Distribution center.  Said to call about the Lincoln Navigator giveaway....once again congratulations!  Asked me to call back 866 401 4626.

Called back & asked to leave a message.

recieved a call from bill from the prize distribution center. " This is Bill from the Prize Distribution Center I have great news for you concerning the contest for the Lincoln Navigator. Please call me or one of my assistance at 1-866-401-4626.


I'm blind and can't drive why would I enter a contest that gives away a car!

Old Bill just called me too.  Same thing, definitely not legit.

A red flag should go up when :
1) there is no named contest
2)   the winners name is not specified
3)  the caller's number ( for those that don't have caller ID- if you dial *(star) 69 the  voice server will tell you the last number that dialed your home) is not the number to return the call, nor does, in this case, the  calling  number EVER answer.There are  other ways to trace the number as well, then report it to the FTC's fraud division, and your local BBB, attorney general and  any other consumer related  agencies  in your  telephone book- the yellow pages  lists many under "social service agencies", or consumer agencies and/or " consumer protection services"
4) you don't remember entering  any contest " a long time ago" as this recording  stated
5) there is no claim number, ID number, the name of a contact person  and  their direct extension or any other important claim details regarding the "prize" or  "contest"
6) you did not give your home  phone number  on  any entry - this is a good use of the GOOGLE VOICE service. Google voice  allows  anyone to  b choose a telephone  number and  link  any  telephone you  own ( cell phones, home phones, business phones, etc.) to it. It  can then be  used on  forms, etc. and will not only signal that you  specifically used the number  to  identify phone calls that are other than friends family  or  business associates and will give you a text transcript of the caller's  spiel that you can then  print out to submit to law enforcement, etc. ahould the need arise that you have to document harrasment, phishing or fraud sales calls, or otherwise  unwanted  phone calls...and its a free feature  accessible through  google utilities or  add-ons, or simply by typing google voice in a search  box.
7) if enough  people contact the  originator and  inform them of the attorney generals  contact in this matter and that you wish them to cease and desist  and remove your  name from their  calling list(s) they may be shut down- but it takes the power of the people to  accomplish this and  people  united to  accomplish  tasks that seem futile  if  attempted alone.
8) if you do call the number and  get a human- do not  let them take your time in  any way  other than  your  gaining  as much  information as possible about the company, the  motivation for their call, terms of "claiming the  prize", a direct telephone number to  a corporate  spokesperson, or otherwise, their headquarters and that physical address.The  representative's badge or ID number and direct extension, the physical  location of their  office, the  manager's name, the  supervisors name  and  phone extension.Ask to escalate the call to  a superior and  try to get information from them, record  any and  all conversations ( in  some  states you have to tell the  person you are taping the call- but I  find it within the scope of their  ethics to wait until you have gotten  all info you can to  let them  know the call was recorded).-

Bottom line  if you  are  serious about stopping these calls  get all the information you can  about the company, the reason for the call, the  corporation  that has hired them to "process prize claims"  ) - theoretically, this would be the  sponsoring company of  the contest you entered.DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION- use a  false name - if the  call were legitimate they would  have your correct name and verify it. use  Google Voice or a similar  service to  provide a  return  call phone  number other than your actual home phone if you request a conversation with a supervisor, etc. for the purpose of  finding out  about the organization perpetrating these  types of scams. Know that this is a scam and mask your  phone number ( the instructions to  block your caller id  on a per call basis  are in the  telephone book's  info pages or you can dial # 411 and the operator will instruct you verbally) so they  cannot sell or  further rent  your information to other similar nuisance  calling telemarketers.
