excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it?s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

Legitimate sweepstakes don?t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.

If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it?s not a prize at all.

BRAND NEW NUMBER!!!
Be careful! this one is targeting victims in Hawaii!!!!
He will tell you that you have won 2.5 Million dollars and a new white Mercedes to be delivered TODAY!!!
TOTAL SCAM!
Call recorded and forwarded to the "JOLT" group.....

I received a call from this number telling me I had one a prize of $250,000 because I paid my bills on time.  I told him to bring the money to me in cash.  He hung up.  I called the number and the same man answered.  I asked if he was going to bring me my $250,000 in cash.  He said I must think this is a joke.  I told him I knew it was a joke.  I told him to just take my name off of his list because I wasn't giving him any bank numbers and I wasn't going to cash any checks and send him money.  I wasn't stupid.  He simply said "F*** you" and hung up.

They called me on a phone number that should not have been public, but didn't leave a voicemail. I do not know anyone from Jamaica. After checking here, I realized it must be part of a scam because there is no reason for anyone to call me from Jamaica. My only concern is that someone got my number, and I'm wondering how and why.

The guy told me that I had been entered in a contest because I "paid my bills on time".  He claimed he was from the Bureau of Better Business.  (An American would know that it's called the "Better Business Bureau".  He wanted me to go to Wal Mart and get a$365 Greendot Money Card so I could give him the "confirmation numbers" on my "P14 Form" which would be accompanying my "winnings" of 355,000 dollars.  I told him I didn't want the money and he told me to s*** his*****.

Called several time even though I asked to be put on the do not call list. Told me that because I pay my bills on time I was entered into a prize raffle and had won the grand prize of 10.5 million dollars. He called me on my land line. he was so persistent that I had to block him completely. tried looking up the number seems to come back as a cell phone in Kingston Jamaica.
