"Hi, this is Jasmin from 'something' in Los Angeles. You have won a pize.

To claim your prize press 9."

*i hang up*

It was all automated and really random as they rang my old phone...

Anyone had this phone call? Or is it just me?

We get loads of them, but we cant block them cos my mum works at A&E and there phones are blocked by that number thing, so my mum could contact us.

I had one from santa.

"Hohoho merry christmas. you have won a holiday to..."

I put the phone down then. laughing of course. I actually thought it was Bullett at first. He usually spends his time ringing us up with a prank voice.

We get those type of calls, at least 3 times a week. Fortunately we have callerID and never pick up the withhelds, tho' the message just usually gets left on 1571.

Yeah we use to get lots of phonecalls like that. My dad use to play a long, but my mum would just hang up straight away. We put our number down on one of those things where you dont get any calls anymore. It worked we dont have as many but somtimes we get the odd phone call.

:D

It's a good job you mentioned someones name in the last post yesterday or I'd I've been quite lost as well.

Not had this call but in the last fortnight we've had 5 or 6 identical calls saying that someone in our household has won a prize, from a comp entered like 11 months ago, and we need to ring a number to claim.

Last time they rang they caught my other half in a very bad mood. He asked several times for the name of the winner and the specific prize details. All they kept telling him that it was just someone and the prize was like one of 5 different options. At which point he started swearing at the poor chap calling him a liar, and his manager a liar, as he lived there alone and hadn't entered any comps.

It would have been nice if they had given him my name and a specific prize that I'd won. Even though I've not entered any comps that I can remember either.
