Showed up on my call display. No message.

Just got a call from them myself, didn't get to phone in time to answer, I was frantically trying to get to the phone cause looking for work it's a sell I bought just for the purpose of job hunting it's a unlisted number.  I did check into 403 area code and it's from Alberta somewhere:)

So I got the same call again as before: number calls, I answer, it says that I've won AirMiles and to press 1 to claim it, I press 1 to get an agent to put me on their DNC List, always transfers to no agent/agent disconnects/busy signal. However this time I heard them say VBN before they disconnected. VBN is also mentioned here. The number that called this time is (807) 977-8989 (but same as when I had this (403) 912-8989 number calls).Went to http://vacationsbynewport.com/Their incoming number is 1-+1 888-791-5890 and they are definitely a telemarketing company since I heard the din of call centre in the background. I asked to be put on their DNC list. He asked for my name and I said Seth and then he asks for my LAST NAME!!?? I said, 'No, the law is that I give you my number and you don't call me for 5 years' The operator seemed exasperated the whole time "I'm just a worker here" he said. So I said 'fine I'll talk to your supervisor', he wasn't willing to do that so I gave a fake last name... They don't need that, sheesh.BETTER NOT CALL ME FOR A WHILE NOW...I'm not even sure if this it's a CRTC issue since the calls are coming from 'merica.

"Just don't pick up" is not valid advice.Here in Canada we have certain Do Not Call legislation which means the caller:a) must provide some way of being put on their 'do not call' listANDb) must not call someone on the do not call listThis caller is not doing either of those things...Please don't comment if you have nothing to add.--Anyway--I pressed 1 to get an operator to put me on their do not call list but pressing 1 gets a busy signal.

On September 26 they called me today... so I listened to Rebecca Miller share her offering... she is offering $2500 credit (even tho in the press 1 message it said 2500 Air Miles) and the credit is to be used exclusively on the package that she gave me details of... 4days 3 nights in Orlando 3 Days 2 Nights in Daytona Beach3 Days 2 Nights in Hollywood Beach, FLand at two of these places you must listen to a 90 Minute timeshare presentation with your spouse... and they will allow you to buy this package... which oh by the way comes with a free Economy car rental... normally priced at $4000, but with your $2500 discount, and for good measure you can bring your two kids free we will charge you only $624 per adult so thats only $1247. What a great deal hey!! AHHH HECK NO!! I just looked on Book it.com... can get a really nice 2 bedroom condo, airfare, and car rental for my entire family for 14 Days and nights leaving from Calgary... for $2300!! Flight alone was over $2000 with Westjet (seem to always get a better deal booking hotel and flight together) anyway... their deal SUCKS you PREPAY for the pleasure of them trying to sell you timeshare!! But in the recording their was an option to press 9 I believe and be taken off their call list forever! (who knows if they honor it) Best of luck to you all... sometimes listening in on timeshare is a great way to score a cheap holiday, in this case NO!

How did they get my number? Is there anyway to stop them from calling?
