I received a call from this number on my cell. There was a voice message stating that long distance charges would apply so I hung up. This call actually left part of a recorded message in my inbox. "... thousand travel dollars, press 1 to ..."Are these people evil or what? What is the scam, to get long distance charges hitting average people? More evidence of the devolution of society. Honestly we need to lobby for strionger laws regarding access to our phone numbers by unscrupulous lowlife "marketers".

This number called my cell phone. It is the first time I ever got a spam/ scam/ telemarketer call on my cell phone.

I heard (an automated, female robotic voice) say something like "Because you are a valued ??? customer, something to do with air miles, and a free vacation. Press 1"
I pressed 1, but my call was not answered and I was disconnected. Too bad, I was ready to go on an insult spree.

Right after the call, I looked through my cell phones call history and called back the number, only to be told by an automated voice that the number is not available.


My cell phone is with rogers, pay as you go. I called rogers to report the call, only to find there isn't anything they can do about it. About 5 minutes after I called rogers, i called them again because I remembered I might actually get charged for this call on my "pay as you go" plan. I got transfered to some department, and here is the surprise:

They had no record on their end of me receiving a call from this number, "(204) 977-8686", they only had a record of me calling that number. Which is ok, because I did call that number right after I was called by them. I called rogers will within half an hour of getting the first call to me from these scammers. (I called rogers using my home phone because it is more convenient). The rogers people told me that my phone number only had 1 recorded connection that day, and that was when I called that number back. THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THAT NUMBER CALLING ME. Isn't that strange? These scammers are able to cover their tracks by somehow making all records of them calling people not exist. They are going to great lengths to hide their tracks. I call rogers, and the lady thought I was making it up because there was no record of me getting any calls that day.

I urge anyone who got called by this number to call your phone provider, and demand that they do something about this. Some sort of investigation or whatever. It is unacceptable that these criminals do fraud, and there is nothing I can do about it!

Got this call on my cell.  Something about me being an AirMiles customer and winning a free trip... press #1.  Hung up right away.Called Rogers to see if they have some sort of "block" list in place. They said they can't do anything about it, but they'll help report it to the "National Do Not Call List".  Then we decided it wasn't really a "telemarketing" thing but a scam instead, so I reported it to the "Anti-Fraud Centre" (formerly PhoneBusters).  They said it was reported 19 times and is definitely a scam.  If you get a call from this number, you can report it to them: http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/english/home-eng.html

Just received a call from this number too.  I have family in Manitoba but I usually don't talk to them by phone and since I don't think anyone out there even knows my cell number I did not answer.  No message was left.

My cell provider is Telus as well.

Just received a call from this number; didn't answer it; shows as a missed call; name unknown;
