My husband returned a call to this number (888-578-1487) and spoke with "Whitney" which she explained that he had won 1 of 3 gifts.  He had to attend a 90-minute meeting and bring ID which one is a major credit card (no debit card). She promised that the cc would not leave his hands. He scheduled an appointment for Saturday which I copied and posted below.  Someone will call Friday to confirm.  I kept wondering after reading the email sent "why a major credit card" it should not be used as an ID.  So I posted the number and received complaints filed against this number and Premier Concepts.  I will be telling my husband that we will not be attending.  Below is the information sent by email...hope it helps.

Me too. Same call. Don't recall if it was Nicole. Guess that's 2 of the 3.

Just got a call from "Whitney" who also said "Mr or Mrs" (my last name) was a winner. Admittedly, I was feeling cranky so I decided to play a little. I asked her what this was all about because I never enter contests like that. She said she just needed to confirm some information and then she would set up a day and time for me to collect my prize. She attempted to confirm that I was over 28 years of age, my address...and then said 'the entry' showed I was married and that I earned over $50k annually. Well now I KNOW I didn't fill that out b/c I don't give out personal information. Without confirming any of it, I asked what the next step was. She said that she needed to confirm the "qualifying information" first. I asked, "My marital status and income is 'qualifying' information?" I said I wouldn't confirm personal information like that. She said she would move on to the next person and slammed the phone down. ;-)

I received the same call from this #No. Kayla said I was a winner. All I had to do was claim the 1of 4 prizes, just attend a 90min program, bring 2 form of ID & leave with either a TV,a trip to Orlando. Fl, $25,000, or Ford Explorea. What a punch of crap, never intered this contest or heard of it.  DEWARE!!!

1 of 3 winners of a prise 25K or a 2011 Ford Expl. Callers name Kala

Received a voice mail message today from Nicole, claiming to be with the Awards Claim Center and stating I had won 1 of 3 major prizes in a giveaway program that I had allegedly signed up for.

i just got a message on my voicemail.. from 1-888-578-1487 telling me I was a guaranteed finalist with a chance to win 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize: the prizes included $25,000 or a 2010 Ford Explorer.

Same as the others: Call saying we had won of three major prizes in the Ford Explorer giveaway.  (We actually found two of these calls on our answering machine, each from a different person-- second person warned we had only 48 hours to respond. Interestingly, the next message on our machine was from someone who identified himself as an investigator.)

Beth saying that I won 1 of 3 major prizes in 2009 Ford Explorer Giveaway.  Also says entry is from one of my very old email addresses.
