773-358-1470

Got a call on 14 January from the so-called "Prize Fulfillment Center" at 773-358-1470, claiming that this was the fourth time they'd tried to reach me (not true) for an entry that was made in my name to win a car (make and model not specified).  The caller went on to say that I was definitely eligible to win one of four prizes if I called back to 877-279-3457 x106.  The caller only identified herself as "Shakoor".  I called the number and only got a voicemail, for a different person, a male, by the last name of Watkins.  I tried several adjacent extension numbers, again only getting voicemails from different people, and not "Shakoor".  The 773 area code is for Chicago, which automatically makes the whole thing look like a scam, which I strongly suspect it is.

Received the same call with the same info about attempting several times to contact me.  The guy that left the message was named Kevin from the "Prize Fulfillment Center" from phone number 770-358-1470.  He stated to call him at phone number 877-279-3457 ext 123.  I have not had this phone number for very long, so I KNOW they are full of it.  If I do enter sweepstakes, etc, I use my cell phone, not home.  Just what we need, another scam,,,,,

Just got this call on my voicemail said to call her back at 877-279-3457 x1166 Julia Jones. She said it is not a scam and that she is aware of the do not call list. They are scamming something!!! My caller ID showed up 773-358-1470

got the same call saying that my son entered his name 12-18 months ago and she was aware of the "do not call list".  I am sure the time limit, even if my son contacted them, is much shorter than 18 months.   They can't even lie right. ;)

Hi this is Aeichae calling from the Prize Fulfillment Center. I have made numerous attempts to reach you regarding an entry form that was filled out in your name within the last 12 - 18 months to win a new car. This will be my last attempt to notify you that your name was pulled as a winner and we are going to award you one of our top four major prizes. It would be in your best interest to give me a call back asap. My number is toll free so call me at 877-279-3457 x114. Now, we are not a telemarketing agency or a time share and this is not a cold call so please do not ignore this message. I'm very aware of the do not call list so I wouldn't be calling unless you actually entered. This is a time sensitive matter, so I do look forward to hearing from you. Once again congratulations Skyler my name is Aeichae, I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you have a great day.

I too just received a call from them, I do not enter my name into any sweep stakes or drawing contests. I will not call back. This has to be a scam

I received same message, I recall using my phone number on craigslist for account verification. No I have not entered any contest just bought cell phone in January 2010  today is only Feb 19 2010.

My parents recieved a call from this place yesterday explaining the same thing.  They had entered a contest 12-18 months ago and they had won a car.  They said in the message that they were trying to contact them to come get their prize in a city that is an hour or so from us.  They call from the 773 number but ask to be called back at 877-279-3457.  The caller said they needed to call extension 121.  His name is Mr. McIntosh.  Mr. McIntosh was, evidently, very nice to my parents when he made his OBVIOUS cold call to lure them in.  My dad, THANKFULLY, asked me to look into this.  After googling and reading several websites about this "Prize Center", I saw where there are some pretty shady deals going on but that the "owner" of the company will post on these sites from time to time to let people know that they ARE NOT scammers and how the person posting missed out on their prize and that the runner up had been notified and was now enjoying the prize.  Right.  
*I* called Mr. McIntosh today and after several attempts at reaching him and only getting a voicemail, I left him a very detailed message stating that my parents would not be there and he was NOT to call them again and should he have any questions, he could contact me directly.  Evidently, Mr. McIntosh took some offense to my being direct about this because when he returned my call and after giving me his sales pitch as to why he called my parents to begin with (Imagine...so many people filled out this alleged entry form EXACTLY 12-18 months ago! How neat!), he became quite annoyed with me and the only thing he would say to me is "Why you gettin' attitude wit' me?" Which, in my opinion, is an extraordinarily professional way to express oneself and ask a question.  After reiterating the fact that my parents would not be attending and he was not to call them again, and several more courses of "Why you gettin' attitude wit' me?", I simply hung up on him.  
Nice job, fellas!!  And for the record...I "get attitude" with people when I feel that older folks are being preyed upon.

I got the exact same message today, word for word. Must be reading off of something.my call said Mitchell Communications on the ID.

I just received a phone call from Mitchell Communications. I hung up on them.

I just received a call from 773-358-1470 on my home phone. Caller Id read Mitchell Commun

Third time in 3 months I got a call from them. Say I won a Ford Explorer and said I sent in an entry form. LIE! Never did. Told them to remove my number off their list. Argued with me that I entered the contest. Told them I requested my number be removed the last time they called Rhonda said she never called me before. Called the number back and requested they removed my number, kept saying I sent in the entry form. Told them I'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST. They said I sent the form in 12-18 months ago yet the address they have I haven't lived at for over 3 yrs.

same thing, message on the answer phone. jeez, if they really want to screw us over you think they'd sound a bit less like crooks when they call, this guy was a real dodgy geezer.

Same thing happened to me. Same story as above and was told I had to give phone verification to allow them to use my name in publications as the winner of the car or money. I informed him that it would never happen and he got really angry and said something like: "why would you enter a contest if you won't even claim your prize when you win, that stupidity." I informed him that I didn't appreciate the unsolicited phone call and that he could promptly go **** himself. He hung up.

Kristy from Mitchell's Communications Group tried telling my father that he won one of 3 amazing prizes from the entry he submitted to them.  Left the same callback # with extension.  BBB has moved the company up to A- rating since most of the complaints were from over 36 months ago (as long as the BBB keeps tabs) and two complaints were "resolved" relating to "sales practices".

My old man is in his late 60's.  Never enters any contests, let alone any run by an Advertising/Mass mailing firm out of Chicago.  Don't call the number back, as you will just alert them to a live, gullible body awaiting more scam calls.

I just got the same message, word for word, on my answering machine. Makes you wonder if you really did enter something somewhere. But, when I googled the phone number, it brought me here, so I do suspect a scam. The caller ID came up "Sams, Tamara". Checked that out and there seems to be a photography studio in Chicago that goes by Tamara Sams Photography. I am not calling them back even though I could use a new car!!

Same message as others have received. I live in Massachusetts and I want these calls to stop. It is so annoying.

Got a call from this number last night on my cell asking for "Mary"...I informed them they had the wrong number and they promptly got off the line, however it was clearly from a call center as I could hear the background noise

Called my phone number, didnt leave a name - just humg up, it is annying when they call your phone. They must be selling something. Do not answer the phone.

Very arrogant, hostile Afro American punk calling to tell me they have been trying to notify me that I won a prize.
If I didnt claim prize I would be "blacklisted", whatever that means.
Told me they knew where I lived and would respond accordingly if I didnt return call.
Turned in police report to County Sheriff's Dept.
