We received a call claiming that we had won a 2008 Ford Explorer,$25,000 cash out or other wonderful prizes.  Was told to call and ask for a Rany Williams.  My wife called and ask what it was about,  was told that we would be called back.  A lady called back,  claiming that we were guarenteed to win the car, a three day trip including air or a 27" color TV.  All we had to do was attend a 90 presentation on a Vacation Club.  From the way they present it, its a scam trying to get you to attend a high pressure presentation thinking that you had won a car.  My bet is that if you attend, you win the trip that will require you to sit through another presentation at what ever location you get to go to.  My recommendation is to disregard if you should receive such a call, unless you like to sit through lengthly sale pitches.

Thanks Diane,

You confirmed my suspicion. I too received the exact same call, with the same message and phone number.

Its a vacation time-share scam! For 10K a year you can take a lot of vacations with out them! And yes, it is a high pressure sales pitch. I went to it, 90 minutes of 'lifestyles of the rich and famous that you can live too!'Yeah BS. Just give us your money! I had fun playing mind games with these sales idiots, they couldn't get me to leave fast enough. Kept answering NO, NO, NO! and explained the time value of money and saving up money for a vacation. WASTE of time, so save yours and the gas money. Just say NO, and use the 10k you'll save wisely.

Have received multiple calls over the last 4 weeks saying that we have won a Lincoln Navigator or other prize and to call them back. We are on the do not call list.  I am cetain it is a scam!  How do we get them to stop calling?

I received the odd prize message that didn't state my name. It instructed me to call back at 1-877-848-1743 ext 121 for Todd. I called. Tanya answered and said she'd call me back. When she did she asked to verify my information. She spelled my name wrong. She had me listed as married when I'm single. She had me listed as making more money than I do. I wouldn't tell her what I make. She wanted to set up a time for me to drive over 2 hours to Crystal Lake, IL where I would have to sign in, fill out a form, provide a drivers license and credit card! She wanted me to call her back if I was going to bring anyone with me. She recommended that I don't. She said she couldn't tell me which prize I would get because I would receive a scratch off ticket when I got there. After the call I suspected a big scam. There were too many red flags. I immediately got online and found so many others with similar experiences.  I won't be going. I hope I didn't provide her with too much information.

I received a call today, I was told that I was awarded a Lincoln Navigator, same MO.  You call the number I was to ask for Todd @ extension 121.  Of course, you received with a message asking you to leave your name number and who you were instructed to call and they will call you back.  I don't think so!  

I'm really tired of people wanting my information so they can try to talk me into something.

A real prize give a way doesn't work this way.

"Change your life sweepstakes"? GREAT NAME! Nothing changes your life like having your credit card drained and your identity stolen!

Call Carla - you have won a prize in the - Change your life sweepstakes- call the award claim center

Same call.  Call Todd 877-848-1743 x121 to claim prize.  Lincoln Navigator.

It's not a scam--I called back a few weeks ago and talked to Todd.  He sent me some papers to fill out and return, which I did.  About 3 weeks later I got a call from the local dealership to come pick out my Lincoln Navigator!!!  

Oh no, now I realize that was just a dream I was having...

Yes we too were offered a Navigator because of a contest we had supposedly entered.  This came to our "cell" phone. YIKES!

I got EXACT same message on my answering machine.  Can't we report these scammers to someone?  I'm on Do not Call list too supposedly.

Yes, I too received a call today to tell me that I had won the Lincoln Navigator and needed to speak to Todd!  
Fortunately (for me) I told them I was not interested.

Same deal.  Todd is the one who will tell me all the wonderful things I won.  I called the # back and got a person who said Todd was on the phone and would call me back.  Shannon called back and left a msg.  All the background noise sounds alot like a call center.  

DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO TO THESE PEOPLE.

I called them. They want information and give you nothing. Scam!

same deal... call back toll free Todd 877 848 1743 ext 121

same deal...call and ask for Todd..ex.121..I am on the --do not call list too..help,please

Same here.  Voice mail from Elijah concerning a contest that I had entered within the last eighteen months at a festival or a contest.  Won a Lincoln Navigator cash value of 45K.  I had to call back to 1-877-848-1743 Extension 121 and ask for Todd.  And thier was a unspecific time frame.  I did not call.  In the message they did not say my name or what contest it was which to me screamed scam!

I answered the phone a moment ago and got a recorded message to call this number Extension 121 (ask for Todd) for a Lincoln Navigator I won.

A "Kim Williams" called leaving a message on 1/27/09 at 9:15 am stating that I had entered a drawing 12-18 mo. ago (yeah, right!) and she has some great news...left 841 as an extension.

I called it and got a voicemail,and couldn't dial any extension, so I left a "wonderful" message.

I also called 708 757-7098 right after and some lady answered. I informed her that her company should try to make money instead of paying $10K fines for called people on the Do Not Call list and using fake names and antiquated phony tactics.

I recommend anyone else getting these calls do the same.

Same MO - call Randy at 877-848-1743 to claim prize. I'm not that stupid.
The number of the jerks who called me was 630-389-0454.

Recorded call from Todd....I won a Lincoln Navigator...Woo Hoo...I smell a scam???

Call Todd for Lincoln Navigator, contest in the last 18 months that is now over that I won, must have signed up in a mall or something they said...

Message left on answering machine saying I had won a Ford in a mall contest I had allegedly entered some months before.  Urged I call Randy Williams at 877-848-1743.

Ooo, mine was a Lincolon Navigator valued at $45k, but I had to call Todd back in a certain time frame. This call came at 10:15pm when I was in bed trying to go to sleep.

Same MO, Ford Expedition, may have entered the contest at any time in the last 12 months, online, at a fair, la-dee-da, etc etc.

WOOO HOOOOOO..

I JUST WON A FORD EXPEDITION With a cash out value of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS...

Yeah, sure I did, just like I won the European Union Lottery for 48 MILLION DOLLARS... ( Funny, I didn't know the EU currency was the US Dollar ), any way, I'm off to call these guys back, and claim my NEW FORD EXPEDITION, and drive to Europe via the Bering Strait ( I believe it's frozen over by now ) and fill the back of the NEW FORD EXPEDITION, with my $48,000,000 in winnings from the European Union Lottery...

What a year!!!!

P.S. I woudln't give these guys the time of day....

Exactly the same M.O. - Called, left a voice mail to call "Randy Williams" that we were the winner in a contest that we entered in the last 12 months and no money was required...Called on 9/29 @ about 7:30pm. Unfortunately I called back and gave them my name...hopefully no damage done...but not sure...oh well - they're welcome to all my debt :)

Claims that we were 1 of 4 finalists in a prize giveaway for a contest we submitted for in the last 12 months. We didn't call back, but the message said no money involved, just a time stipulation. Left the name "Shannon" but no specifics on the organization, etc.
