just got the call and i won 1000 dollars, if i pay 3.00 a week for 60 months for magazines. thats like 2800 dollars for magazines. i gave them a fake credit card number, dont trust these [***]. but well see if they send 1000 dollars.

Calling late at night.

they called me on my house phone. i look at the caller id.  it looks like another telemarketing again.  so i decided to let the machine answer it.

They called and offered me the subscription and asked about my occupation and age. i lied about both. They then tried to offer me the scam and I opted out before they could ask for my information

I got a call today saying of course that I won a $1000 shopping spree (Big Surprise).  I also declined after listening to all the other great things that I won.  The call came into my cell phone which is already registered on the Do Not Call list so not sure where they got my number.  All please be aware that you can also report this kind of scam to the FBI at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx and they will investigate.  I have made my report so hopefully these calls will stop soon.
