Got that message too. I won a Cadillac Escalade. I was told that I entered a contest online and won. YAY! The last that left the message was named, Brenda Smith. She told me to call 866-770-8762. The prize director's name was Bill Russell. She left a message once before and I believe the phone number she left was different.

Received a call regarding winning a prize that I supposedly filled out on line for a Ford Explorer, and that I had the winning ticket. I was instructed by Simone McCall to call 1-877-258-8571. The call originated from 312-546-4457 which is also a now a non-working number just as the 877 number is as well.

Just got message from a Sarah Johnson that I've won a Ford Explorer or other prize. She had my name and address. I'm to call as soon as possible 877-258-8571. Suggested I had entered contest via Internet which I certainly didn't recall, so I thought I should Google number. Here I am!

Received call from Griffin,R. @ 312 546 4527 person speaking was named Christine, advised I had won a Ford Escape and or perhaps one of 4 grand prizes. Christine also confirmed my name and address, which is pubic information. She advised to call Mr. Russell the prize coordinator at 877 258 8571. I don?t remember every entering a contest. Sounds like a scam. Be careful.

Yes I just got the same call. She had a cold, hahaha. Told me to call my prize cordinator Mr Russell. Im not even going to play with them.

I received the same kind of call but from a 877 number. I won a Ford Escape or $25k, a trip for 2, $2500 cash or a 32" flat screen TV. I called the number, got the email from christine.chung, and supposed to go to an address they gave me, which is the address to a hotel. The process wouldn't take more than 90 minutes and at the end, receive a scratcher card that would guarantee one of the prizes.
Has anyone ever gone to claim the prize?
If so what happended?
Is it a scam?
Thanks,
Big Winner

Chalk up another target in what is undoubtedly a vacation timeshare scam! I was called a few minutes ago by "Griffin, r" from 1-540-907-4092. She had a script, of course, and when I interrupted her with a question that caused her to veer off-script, she got flustered and had to repeat a bit.
She said I'd entered some contest in a shopping mall in Arlington or Annandale (I have no memory of entering any such thing), and that I'd definitely won one of four major prizes. She told me to call my "Prize Director, Mr. Russell, at 1-877-258-8571."
Golly gee whillikers, I'm so excited...Yet another bunch of baloney from desperate con artists.

Just got the same call from a woman named Brenda Smith telling me I'd won a Ford Escape, and to call the Prize Director Mr. Russell at 1-877-258-8571. They also had my name and address, and, as someone else remarked, not too hard to get. As the offer sounded too good to be true, and I couldn't remember filling out any entry prize, I checked on line. Thanks for everyone's postings. Saved me some hassle.

I too received a call telling me to contact Mr. Russell at 877-258-8571 to find out details of how to claim my prize. I did not fill out any entry forms..
| Bill Russel's office 2011-12-06 04:08:06 Unknown |
The caller (Calhahan) left message on my voice mail. I won a Ford Escort and perhaps more. After hours I called and that is Bill Russel's office.

I also got the message about the Ford Escape prize. She left the name as Christina Lee.

I'm pleased to be a fellow Escape winner with y'all. That is one generous company. Simone McCall left the message for us as well.

Got the same message- said I won a ford Escape. It is a scam
| Rick - Arlington 2011-12-02 04:00:45 Unknown |
It's Rick again,posting a follow-up. I checked caller ID, the call came from R. Griffin (same as one of the posters above) but the number is slightly different: 312-546-4457.
| Rick 2011-12-02 03:11:48 Unknown |
Message left on my machine today was for my middle-school-aged daughter...same M.O. as other posters have reported: a very unenthusiastic women who said her name was Simone McCall told us that my daughter had won a Ford Escape from an online contest, I could barely understand her. Said to call back 877-258-8571 to claim the prize. Right...

The company (if they are one) changes the phone numbers often. Googling "Mr Russell prize director" brings up a few sites that report their activities with different phone numbers. The woman, who's caller id said Griffin R (312-546-4527), called herself Sarah. She told me to call Mr. Russell at 877-258-8571 to claim my prize, and as noted above, did not sound at all excited. I'm not going to call.
Here's the FTC complaint website if you want to report them: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

Message left for my wife that she won a Chev Suburban as the result of an on-line contest she entered. The female that left the message was about as excited about notifying us about the "win" as mud! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR INPUT! We're not calling her back and have blocked the number.
| Mike - Arlington VA 2011-11-29 21:55:56 Unknown |
Same deal - got the call today that "I won a Ford Escape!!" - wife told me about it and so I do not have access to caller ID. Woman said her name was Christine or Christina Lee.
| Erica - Arlington 2011-11-28 23:47:49 Unknown |
I got the same message. My caller id showed Marcus Page 773-278-8131, but the man that left the message said his name was Callahan. He also had my name and my previous address and said that I had a winning ticket for a Ford Escape. He instructed me to call 877-258-8571 to contact the "prize director"
| Trey in Arlington 2011-11-23 01:25:24 Unknown |
same message here. call came from 312-546-4527
i entered to win a Ford escape or other prizes and I was a winner. they had my name and address as well as my phone number, but not too hard to get this info.
| Liz Arlington 2011-11-23 01:19:17 Unknown |
This is the number I should call to speak with Mr. Bill Russell, who will give me information and answer all my questions about the Ford Escape or other prizes I won through entering a contest at a shopping mall, or online, or some other unspecified place....looked up the number I was called from and saw that it from a timeshare company -- no thank you!
