Got a call from this number on my cell phone earlier this afternoon.  I have some clients in Manitoba, so I answered the call because I recognized the area code if not the exact number.  Started listening to a recorded message saying that "because I was a valued Telus customer (which is true - how did they know that??) I had won 1000 travel points; press 1 to accept". At which point I hung up.
Problem is that I'm currently on spring break vacation in Southern California.  So this B.S. call cost me at least a buck with LD and roaming charges.  I wish there was a way to track down the b*st*rds making these calls & chop off their hands so that they could never use a dial pad or keyboard again!!!!  ARRRRGGGHH!!!!

they need to stop calling my number this is an airport operations number and should not be on any call list

erin - i bought a swivel sweeper G2... however, i bought it online vs. phoning and placing the order. i don't think i provided my cell number to them?

that said, i received two emails saying there was a problem with my order and had to call a 1-800 number to resolve both times. and used my cell to do it.

are the slap chop and swivel sweeper related?

I received one call from (204) 977-8686 about 3 weeks ago and haven't had one since I installed "Buzz Off" on my Blackberry 8530.  It cost me $1.99.  I do believe that it works in blocking these annoying calls.  HOWEVER, if they change phone numbers then you have to block them one at a time, but I feel the benefits outweigh that minor inconvenience.  I'm on the Telus network by the way.

Yes, the Do Not Call list is a joke.  How do they get the list but from the very people we entrust to stop being harrassed by them.  "Please don't bother xxxx at phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx"  How in hell does that protect me?

Just missed this call on our home phone and they didn't leave a message.

Scammers are from Air Miles and offer you 100K rewards points... yuk.  Just B.S. and the gov't won't do anything about his crap which is also bs.
