Have you ever received a call saying you won money?

Geez. 1,000,000$? Oh my goodness that's a really big amount of money. I think I'd probably believe it though if it were smaller. But I don't know, will you really give your personal information for such a small amount. If they had the papers for it or something, maybe I'd go for it but either way something won over the phone is highly suspicious. XD

I did have had an experienced that someone was informing me about winning on something, but it is not from a phone call but rather a text message. It says that I won in a promo which I know I didn’t join in, such information is totally a scam that is so, lame that one knows that it is so false. Having that number, I report it to my network carrier and told them that someone bypass their information data resulting that I had received an anonymous text saying I won something.

First time to hear such way of scamming people. I understand that the most common now are email SMS spamming. So far, I didn't received any call informing me that I won. If ever I got one, I quickly say go ahead to other people and they will be shot and killed. People now don't have any job except to scam people. They love to scam people and earn other works and efforts

Oh, yes I had received such calls before. Once it was sms to my cell phone stating my phone number was picked as first prize for the company anniversary celebration. I called the company concerned and was told that it was a prank call and asked me to ignored it. There was a number of occasions I received emails from unknown people claiming they are ex-generals from some African countries and had huge sum of illegal money of hundred of millions of US dollars. Each time they want me to help them to claim these ill-gotten money and give me half of it. I did not replied. Later I read in the newspapers that there are people got conned into these schemes and lost money as a result.

I have received call such as I won a certain amount of money equivalent to an insurance policy. But I never bothered coming over tho their office to clam it. I thought it was a scam. Then, I have received tons of emails stating that I have won large sum of money. Mind you, if it were all true, I could have traveled all over the world atleast 100x by now! And maybe I have been as rich as Donald Trump or Oprah Winfrey or maybe the King of Brunei!

Hi Rosekiss, Glad that you did not give in with that. I bet a lot of other people have experienced this one and was fooled and it was too late for them to realize their mistake. It did not happen to me. But if it will really happen, I guess I would not be fooled as well and I would do the same thing as what you did...hang up before I give away my information. There are a lot of scammers everywhere so we should definitely be very cautious no matter what. Have a great day!

Hello roIse. I got a call like that a couple of weeks go. They claimed I had won a $200 gift certificate from Wal-Mart. I told them I wasn't interested. I figured that they were after my personal information. Not giving that out unless I do the calling. As you said there are lot of scamers out there and a person can't be to careful these day.

Only in my email, I've received that kind of information. Sometimes text message on mobile phone and they didn't call me or anything. Its obvious that its a scam because how would they say we won if we didn't join anything huh?

No I haven't but wouldn't it be nice if it were real?

yes dear rose kiss , last year march i got a call from London that my mobile number has won 4 crore rupees in a luck draw of yahoo lottery. i believed that. but i realized the truth after 1 week that they are cheating me. but i didn't lose my money

Yes, I always experienced that before. I did not believe on that for I already heard about that scam on the news in the television. And I am very thankful that I am attentive when it comes to news so I am always aware what's happening with my environment most especially those modus that the syndicates are doing harmful with others.

Did you join any contest? If you not join any contest of course that is a scammer want your information. I also have this experience i receive message in my cellphone say i won $30000. I never join any contest how come i can won something? So be careful when you receive any call or message in your cellphone say you won something.

I got a call from India,and he speaks English like US people,he was so fluent and at the first time i believe him what he told me.He said i have won 12crores in Cocacola UKdrawn,but he asked me to pay fifteen thousand rupees as a service and duty charge. From now i also don't beleive those scammers. Thanks for the concern.

I've never got a call that telling I won money. But I've ever received sms that I won money. I just ignore the sms and laughing because I think it is a very funny to win money while I never taking lottery.

Nasty buggers they are. I received that kind of call once but email-wise I've received too many when my mailbox didn't know yet how to determine SPAM from real email. We should really be careful in giving out our info to others.

Hi friend, this kind of calls and mails are quite common in this days. We must be very careful with this kind of scammers and never share our personal details with them. Good to know you don't shared anything with them. I too received this kind of calls, but i ignored it

I always received scam calls and text informing me that I won a million dollars, but so far, i never made any step to ''claim'' my price as i know that it is all a scam. I believe that earning money will never come easy so I never believe in those easy raffle .

Thanks for your concern on us.. that is right when someone calls you or text you that you have won something.. don't ever ever believe it right away because more or less it is a scam.. how can you won when you don't even join a contest and why did they get your personal information.., I hope this kind of thing will stopped now.. because more and more people are being scammed ..

Not via phone call but by SMS and email... I won or my cellphone number was picked as one of the lucky winners. This one horrible, my friend won in a trip for two to hong kong but both her and husband should go for an interview together. Problem was. Her husband was out for a work abroad too, she wanted to fully claim the prize but she should have her husband with her otherwise it will be forfeited. What we did we asked a friend to act as her husband, he even imitated his signature and all information about themselves were practiced and carefully studied. Then both of them came for the interview .. So funny they wre able to answer the questions during the interview only to find out that they have pay for some kind of membership for a club. My friend was so angry having all those troubles and we all laughed about it after. A different kind of scam

Hi Rosekiss,in China it is a common scam to us,and also once I received the calls which said that they are the police,here is a package from somewhere for me,and now the contraband goods are checked from this package.So they blocked my account already and asked me to open a new account soon,so that after they finished the research,they would transfer the money to this new account.This kind of scam is trying to get my account No. and password when I got nervous.Luckily I didn't fall into the trap. Now as we always shop online or when we sign up on some forums,we overshare our personal information onlince sometimes,so we'd better protect our personal information as we can.
