Must be a computer, verifying phone numbers.
At 10:36 I answered after 5 rings and simply received dead air.

by any chance did we all buy the same product? since i bought an item online through as seen on tv i have had numerous calls on my unlisted number...i bought a slap chop as a gift and it has been a headache ever since

Just got this call at work - very annoying!!!!!!! As if I won a trip from Air Miles!!!

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!!!!

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!

who has my number
