I received exactly the same message on both my cell and my work number as some of you did, i.e. recorded message saying "you've won 2600 air miles..."  I didn't wait for it to finish and hung up.  Annoying!

Why they call

Just got a call from this number but I didn't recoqnize is so I didn't answer.

no its not actually.  It is faked, and you would have to do an actual call trace to find out where it is coming from.  This same scam has been quasi-legally operating for a number of years, and the number constantly changes, but the "you've won xxx air-miles" message is always the same

Got a random call from (403) 912-8219, not sure if its related but when I answered no one was there. Saw it was located in alberta which is a LONG way from me!

"you have been selected to win XXXX Airmiles press 1 to claim your prize"Sandos Resort was my Airmiles "deal" of choice.    Here are some of the key things they say when I said what company routes the calls to them.  "I don't know, I'm not the IT guy to know the system".  "I would be working for corporate if I knew this informaiton".  He didnt' want to give me the information.  I told them that this is a shady way of doing business if this is indeed legit.    FYI he said he was from Mexico (had a spanish accent for sure). "You are the one who picked #1 sir"... grrrrrrrr......Keep them on for a while just for fun.  It wastes their time.   Give them fake credit card info off the internet.  Lead them on for a while.I asked what companies are involved.   I got: Airmiles,  RCI Resort companies and Sandos.   I was told I can call Sandos Resort and still get their rep to get a deal with them.   I asked if they ask for my credit card over the phone and laughed....  People are stupid enough to give a card number over a cold call?!   DUMB.  This is why they do it... stupid people that get Scammed and then we get calls.  Or stupid people that actually buy this deal perpetuating more cold calls.
