Received a call from this number on my cell phone and when answered, female voice said that I had won all kinds of travel points and in order to collect, I had to press "1".  Hung up on them.  I later called the number to get removed from their list only to find that the number was not in service.  Obviously some kind of scam.  Too bad the telephone company couldn't cut them off permanently!

I don't answer any more long distance calls on my cell phone if I don't recognize the calling number because these scams costs me money if I answer. IMHO this business practice should be illegal. I encourage readers of this post to inform their MP & ask for federal protection from these scammers. The federal no-call list is not sufficient without significant penalties to the offending companies.

recieved call at work. -did not answer-Calgary

They called my cell. Luckily I fell asleep and missed the call. Tried to call back and 'not in service'REally...shouldn't it be illegal to have a phone number that can call out spam but you can't call it back?Also, if the idiot who set up this scam is reading this...Seriously, all I would need is about 10 seconds with you and anyone else that scams. You would beg for forgiveness by the time i was done and I would enjoy repeatedly beating the crap out of you.

Im from victoria bc.....it just called me on my cell.  The name of the number just shows up as Quebec Canada...I called it back and it said its not in service anymore.??
