just got a call from that number...didn't recognize the number, so I didn't answer, but no message was left.  Just curious where the call is coming from and from who.

same here. Call depleted my battery so i couldn't answer. Lucky for me.

Got a call from (204) 977-8686, it was an automated voice claiming it was Air Miles and I had won 100 000 miles, simply press "1" to claim it.  

Am concerned I have been phone scammed...

"Because you are a valued Canadian Tire customer, you will be awarded 3000 points. To accept, press 1."Grrrr.... I hung up.

A rough transcript of my interaction with this caller. Automated Message: "This is a message to inform you that you have won 100,000 airmiles. Press 1 to continue."Operator: "Hello. Can you please confirm that you are over the age of 25". Me: "Hi. Can I ask where you are calling from and what you are calling about?"Operator: "I can put you through to a manger, but first I need you to answer the screening questions. Are you over the age of 25? Do you have a valid credit card (Visa, MC, AMEX)?"Me: "Well it's quite obvious that this is a phishing scam, and I will be reporting this number to Bell. Goodbye." I am worried that this might affect other people who are not so skeptical.

I suspect the perpetrators are using mechanized calls using internet to phone technology and are calling from god knows where.Its impossible to trace these numbers as they come up as disconnected, contacting the phone company that runs the area code advised me that some are using illegal call display modification.This tells me they are in control of a local exchange carrier or similar.
