Gaelan, at first I thought you were quite harsh to start your reply to Tara in such away. Then I found Tara's comments and I think your quite right. As long as people are stupid enough to respond to these calls, they will continue. Hopefully you spelt out the obvious. If it sounds too good to be true...IT IS!

Well im about to tell u i was stupid and answered pressed one cause i thought it was true because i have entered 4 contest 4 money etc. On internet and vairies of places. Im on the do n ot call list 4 over 3months now and telemarketers still call me im not plzed but the call started with u have just won 3000 some odd dollars to claim plz press one that was an automaited service i pressed one and a guy came on started speaking fast and said are u 25 or older i said yes then he started asking 4 credit card visa card info its like this person knew my age i am 25 so any how just to inform people and the person who did this hes doing alot more then prank calls so he probley reads this he will be investigated and probley chared and the fbi takes it seriously to people like him. Thank u be careful if u get a call that says everything i wrote hang up and call u phone hookup like bell rogers etc.

Also called my cell about an hour ago........ 2nd time

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!

Victoria BC -  just called me at 6:02 pm on my cell!
Good thing i didn't answer. Obviously a scam.

I've had two similar calls - today from (514) 204-9988, and 2010 April 22 from (514) 204-8989.  Both offered thirty-one hundred "travel dollars", asking me to press 1.  

Anybody know how this scam works?  All I know is that it costs me to answer it...
