Glad I didn't pick up the phone while having dinner.  Called 2X consecutively and left message 2nd time.  The audio was bad. I could hardly understand the message but the phone number to call was clear.  Thanks to this board I'm able to piece it together.

From Melvin....I'm a winner....Top 4 prizes....call back 1-888-284-8918 ext 124.

Yeah I got the call from 888 284 8918 ext124 and called it back from my cell phone which is the phone they called me on using *67 thinking it would block my number but they told me my name. They must be able to see your number even if you try and call privately. Anyways, she asked if was so and so and I said no, then she said that whoever it was that entered the drawing was someone who had to be over 45 and I'm not so I started laughing and said thanks and hung up. Very strange but definitely a scam of some sort trying to sell you something. Oh yeah, and it was "Melvin" that called me and he's called me like 3 times leaving a message saying it' s my last chance to take advantage of this great offer. SCAM

The number on my caller ID said 708 515-9631.  Melvin left the same message about the prizes that you see already written on this site.  He has called twice so far today, but when you call back you should call  888 284-8918.  Yes, Mel is hard to understand.  I have no intention of calling back, and I know I have witnessed what he will no doubt call the lowest part of his career.

"Gloria" says we won a car. Had to promise to be part of promotion if the car is given to us. Actually 1 of 4 prizes.

I was the recipient of this call this evening.  A lady named Gloria was on the line, telling me I had won either a Dodge Durango, or $2,500, or a TV, or yada yada.  I was definitely going to win one of these prizes.  She was very vague about how they got my number, stating (like others here) that my name was entered in a drawing 12-18 months ago in a shopping center or sports venue.  To win, I needed to go to the Clarion hotel in Fredericksburg, VA tomorrow at 6 or 8 PM, and she was quite insistent that I be there.   When I expressed doubt (not having entered my name in any drawing,) she was very sincere in assuring me it was legitimate.  (Was I supposed to just take her word for it?)  Needless to say, I will be regretfully absent.  I will also be calling the hotel to let them know they're now associated with this scam.

Someone from "The Notification Center" left a voicemail stating that my name was pulled from a drawing for a new car I had entered in the last 12-18 months (I don't recall doing that), and that I won one of four prizes, the caller said this is not a cold call.  I couldn't understand most of the message.  Looking at all the posting regarding this phone number, WE ALL ARE WINNERS!  Not everyone can win.  Please don't give these people any of your information.  Wish we could get their information and do to them what they plan to do to all who respond.

Same call from Melvin so I left a message saying if the call is about a timeshare, I wasn't interested. A rude lady called me back saying Melvin the supervisor was busy so she's calling. She said what's yor name??? Hello... If I won a prize and supposedly entered a drawing... Shouldn't they know my name.. Regardless of who's calling back?????

Got the phone call today from Melvin.  Exactly the same script as the others listed.  I am about at the point that I am not going to answer my phone.  My phones are also on the DNC list, which is getting to be a joke.  Why bother to list with DNC.  I have contacted FCC on a previous simular matter and was told they just collected the info and they couldn't take any action.  Someone please address this issue.  We should not be held hostage by a phone (LOL, but I am serious)

Received a call from 888-284-8918 extension 124 (Melvin) several times.  Said we won a sweepstakes we entered a year ago.  Sounded like a scam so never returned the call.  Please shut them down!

I keep reporting them to the Do Not Call list complaint line.  Hope many of you receiving these junk calls do the same so the Feds can eventually get them for violating the Do Not Call law.

Report this number to the FTC's do not call reporting center if you're on the list - The guy 'Melvin' is the overall supervisor (supposedly) and the name of the company itself allegedly is 'The Notification Center' - Melvin put me on their internal DNC list, so even if someone uses my number again (cough - bs - no one did, this is a cold call center that never checks the Federal DNC - which is illegal) I'll never get another call. They are VERY helpful if you're pissed off & the first thing you say is 'I'm going to sue you, I need the name & address of your company". MY background: 20+ years in programming/I.T. in Telemarketing/Telecom, and helped test the Fed DNC's call-in reporting when the company I was at first wrote it.

I got a call on Fri 10/26/2012 from Richard at "The Notification Center" stating that my name was pulled from a drawing for a new car I had entered in the last 12-18 months (I don't recall doing that), and that I won one of four prizes, this is not a cold call and thus not in violation of the Do Not Call list.  My caller ID showed 888-284-2918 and he asked me to return his call at that number, ext 126.  I got around to calling back today and, on ext 126 got a voicemail with the same voice.

Same here. Call on my machine from Melvin @1.888.284.8918 ext 124 two days in a row now. He said that I filled out a contest entry to win a car 12-to-18 months ago and I'm one of four winners of a top prize. Of course, I had to listen three times to understand what he was saying. It is obviously a scam -- probably just fishing for person information. Be careful.

That I had won a prize, car being one of the 4 prizes.  Said I had applied to a contest about 12 to 14 months ago and I was a winner.  That he was not calling to sale me anything and that he knew I was on the no call list but because I had filled out the contest paper it gave him the right to call.  And he asked me to call him back before the end of the day.  I never fill contest papers out so....I guess he had the wrong person.  But the whole message he used my first name over and over again.   His name was Dan  ext.123

Melvin. Who sounded like a drag queen also left me a voicemail saying I too won a car on a contest I had entered months back. Also said. This is not a cold call timeshare or solicator.  States time sensitive matter. U can win 1 of 4 major prizes but I must call back asap.   They drew my name and have tried several times to reach me yet this is the first time they called me sounds like scam
