Hello! Yesterday I got a call from a lady claiming I've won a free trip and a chance to win a $75,000 car (Right away I knew it was bogus). When I asked her how she got my info she stated that is was trough a sweepstakes form. She then told me "is your email address still bla bla bla" and I told her "No, that was an email I had 5 years ago" (Another red light). To make a long story short, I went along with the game (I didn't give her any personal info). She said "you can pick up your prize tomorrow at 6pm and if you get there early you can win dvds, ipods, bla bla. I asked for a phone number and a website. The website is www.trendwest.com. It "looks" legit. I called the company, spoke to a "representative" and told him everything. He said the address the lady gave me is legit, but states the company gets contacts through "referrals". He gave me a 1800 number to call. No one answers. Who can I contact to see if this is a scam? I don't want people to get ripped
