They keep calling me and when I ask who they are they hang up. They now send stuff in the mail to my house with this number telling me I won a delta flight of my choice and a 2 day 3 night stay in a hotel. Is this mail fraud? I cant find the company and they will not ID themselves. Is that legal?

This practice is illegal under the FDCPA:
Debt collectors may not engage in unfair practices when they try to collect a debt. For example, they may not:
try to collect any interest, fee, or other charge on top of the amount you owe unless the contract that created your debt ? or your state law ? allows the charge;
deposit a post-dated check early;
take or threaten to take your property unless it can be done legally; or
contact you by postcard.
