Sample complaints we have found for (416) 800-1280

receptionist

Received a call from 503-473-0119 saying that I was live on the radio with "92.7" "The Music Generator" in Vancouver, BC. They told me they were celebrating Michael Jackson and that if I answered a trivia question correctly I could win a vacation to Las Vegas, Cancun, Orlando or LA. They then transferred me to someone that wanted my name and contact numbers. They told me that I'd receive a call from (416) 800-1280 to receive more details on my vacation. As soon as I got off the phone I looked up both numbers and found out that the name of the radio station is bogus. If you receive a call from this number you are not on the radio, hang up.

Hey I just received a call from this Canadian Value Solutions as well.  I work in marketing myself and in consumer packaged goods we ensure there is no confusion in what the consumer is getting.  I believe this type of marketing should be absolutely ILLEGAL . Can you imagine if someone that fell for it actually drove all the way to Vaughn, got a babysitter etc?  They are making you think you filled out a ballot and won a prize.  But for any contest, you have to answer a skill testing question, fill out forms etc.  I am very upset by it  and I wish that such companies excercised a bit more transparency before they call people in the privacy of their own home.

Tons of calls from Absolute Home for Air Duct Cleaning.  I received 10 on Sunday evening right after another and calls became obscene.  I have Call Trace and have reported the information to Police and CRTC
 

CB

They just called me and asked me and said that I was "on air" and asked how I was doing and then asked me who was the "King of Pop"... then said asked where I would like to go on vacation. She then said that someone would call me back within the hour with details. I immediately googled their number and then found this site.

Company: Vacation International

Same scam as above.
 

Tired of calls

Got a similar call today, with the story that I had filled in a form last January and didn't I remember doing that? I was told I won a prize to one of the four locations mentioned above..I only remember Los Vegas.  I could barely understand the lady who called me, very thick accent. She tried to make me feel like this was legitimate by given me her name: Vanity Wilson, employee id (105) and the customer service number of (416) 800-1280. And gave me an address where I had to go to pick up my prize  - 216 Chrislea Rd, Suite 202, Vaughan, Ontario L4L-8S5 . Would that be a 905 number? I couldn't find the zip coe or the the street name in Canada411.

I asked if there was a presentation I had to go to but was told no.

They wanted me to verify if I was between 29 and 74, was working and had a family income of over $50,000. I smelled time sharing or some kind of scam, so I told them I wasn't working and my family did not earn over $50,000. That should have disqualified me but, no, they completely ignored that and continued on, saying a higher level manager would call me soon with details of how to get my prize.

A second caller  (Rubin)..called back and asked me if I had any questions. I tried to hurry him up but he was keeping to his script. I never got the description of the dinner and presentation..I got fed up and just told him to take my slip with my name and tear it up and hung up.

Don't waste your time with these people.

Thanks to all of you who shared your experiences. Glad to find out I was not alone in my perception that this was a SCAM.
