Is this a legitimate contest? I received a call from a verifier stating I won 1 of 4 prizes. A Lincoln Navigator, $2500 cash, a vacation or a 32 inch Toshiba flat screen TV. I was directed to go to the claim center in Gilbert, AZ at 1450 W Guadalupe rd, bldg 3, ste 124, gilbert,az, 85233.

That is a scam. Do you owe money to anyone? Occasionally collection agencies will use that technique to trick you into calling them back. Also watch out for crooks that try to sell time-shares by using a similar technique by saying you "won" something, which is worth almost nothing, and they make you spend hours listening to them before they tell you that you don't qualify due to <insert excuse here>.

If you owe any back child support or if you have any wants or warrants, this form of inducement has been know to be utilized by law enforcement agencies to get the alleged scoff-laws to come in of their own volition. -DOH!
