I got a call from this number at my work number.  Got a recording saying it was an important msg and I won 2600 air miles and to press 1 to claim them. Don't understand how they get away with this garbage and WHO ARE THE PEOPLE BUYING FROM THESE TYPES OF COMPANIES???? Really when i hear who this company is they can look forward to NOT having my business and my referral to all my friends and family will be of a very nasty nature.

Mine was calling for a job interview w offer of $1000/$500 bonus

I have been on a crusade to shut these scammers down. They have recently gone as far as using some innocent person's phone number as their caller-id. The caller-ID started showing up as a local number the last few weeks and with the same area code and first 3 pre-fix's as my number. I thought it was a co-worker but alas it was the pre-recorded call. It ranges anywhere from, 'you've won a trip to the bahamas', 'for being a westjet customer you've won a prize', 'for being a telus customer you have won a prize, 'you have won 2000 airmile points', insurance agencies etc...it is never ending...i am just mad that they are using innocent people's caller ID's...probably using mine too! I called WestJet, Sandals Resort (because they posed as them on my first call i pressed "1") and today, telus. It just sucks no one can seem to get to the bottom of who is originating these calls. At the end of the day, someone said they were "Global group travels" and have a special offer from Sandos Resort in the Riviera maya...but who knows. When i asked more questions, they hung up on me. TWICE! If I were Sandos - and they aren't employing marketing people to make these calls, i would worry about 3rd party ruining their reputation!!I hope some big company finds them then burns their phone lines!!!

i mean the number not in service

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.

I got a call from this number at my work number.  Got a recording saying it was an important msg and I won 2600 air miles and to press 1 to claim them.  I hung up, but perhaps next time I'll play with the person on the other end for a while.
