It looks like an international (USA) number to me so I doubt you can do anything.
You've probably won a holiday in Florida in a competition you never entered.

Good advice, never answer these calls.

DO NOT ring back. Any number that starts with '+' or '00' is an international number and potentially outside the jurisdiction of where you are calling from regarding call charges. +1 is USA and consumer protection there is next to nil. You may have been charged an astronomical 'connection fee' just to hear the call be cut off at the other end. You NEED to contact your telephony carrier ASAP, before they pay the scammers then bill you (you have less than a month to do this, and because the scammers are USA-based it's more likely that your provider won't have questioned the transaction; though there is legal recourse later it's a pain).
