got a call from (204) 977-8686 today on my cellphone.scammer: As a valued Telus customer you have won a free gift. Press 1 to accept - I pressed one (just to string these morons along). Hi I first need to confirm you're over 25.....me: A loud obscenity after which  I hung upI googled the number - it's located in downtown Winnipeg according to  the map.Just for a laugh I called the number quickly - not in service (surprise surprise!)Hope this helpsSteve

Called my Bell Canada cell phone.  Left a message that was 2 seconds long: "Press 1"

We have a double whammy here, phone on "do not call list" and the fact they are calling a cell phone that should be automatically blocked.

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!!!!

I'm in Toronto, I just got a call from this number on my Bell home phone; have relatives in Manitoba and I almost picked up but didn't; no message was left so I immediately called the number back and got "We're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service..." - so definitely a SCAM.

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?
