Sweepstakes scam

I received a call from this number on 1/4/16. The girl stated that I was chosen to be entered in the Reward Zone sweepstakes for a chance to win $25,000 and that she needed to verify a few things with me before continuing. She made some comment about visa/mastercard and asked if I have ether one of those cards. I paused and told her yes. She said great and asked if I was between the ages of 18-70(something). While I should have played along to see what else she would keep asking in her bubbly tone I was fed up due to having to put a freeze on my credit with all three credit bureaus just 10 minutes before due to identity theft. I told her that I was not interested and she said, "but this is a chance to win $25,000". I said, "Look I have enough fraud going on with my information right now so I'd appreciate if you'd remove my number from your list and don't call back." She then in a different sad low tone said, "Ok, have a good day."
