A woman call me on sunny Sunday afternoon with new mortgage offer.

I just hang up on them if I bother to answer.  You can't even understand what they say most of the time.

Calls and calls and calls

I never answer and they never leave a message

Fortunately we have caller ID and an answering machine.  If it says "unknown name" as in this case it did, we wouldn't asnwer it at all, and usually we just let the answering machine "take a message".  And of course they don't usually do that, so as long as they are going to keep calling they will continue to get the answering machine.we didn't even know there could be an 800 "area" or city prefix.

I just rec'd a call from (403) 800-0346, told me my birthday address and phone number. Was scary, said I won a trip to disney and Daytona. Needed my credit card for $194 admin fee. But it's a recording, I continued listening and it would reset after about 30 seconds. It was a pretty convincing scam till you have to pay for something!

Received a call from (403) 800-0346. Told me I won a trip for 4 to Florida Daytona Beach. Asked for my husband's name and the scary part is they were able to tell me my date of birth, address and phone number.  The catch was I had to go to a "lecture", basically for a timeshare in Florida. They said I won it through shaw.ca.  In order to claim the prize and receive my package, I'd have to provide my Visa number and the cost is $194 for an admin fee.  I told her that I don't want to give my credit card number on the phone and to give the trip to someone else. She became very aggressive whereby I hung up the phone.  So aggressive they tried to call back immediately twice.
