I just got a phone call from the same guy at Premium International. But it came from (905) 241-1024. I tried calling back and its apparently out of service. More than anything, I'm angry because I just lost 4 minutes of my life that I will never get back. I had no idea what accent that was, and I was leaning more toward the Indian-trying-to-be-Canadian, and the previous posts confirm my suspicion. I put him on speaker and recruited my Mom to help me make out what the eff he was saying. Same thing: I won 1 out 5 prizes (I'm glad the previous posts decoded his accent in order to make out what they were), and I needed to go to Drew Road to claim them. There was so much noise in the background; similar to what I imagine an Indian household would sound like. I never fill out ballots...its a heaping load of halal s**t. 'Sam' (aka Samparramjeet?) can take his business elsewhere...

Hi, I rec'd a similar call 2 days ago.  The man had an Indian accent and there was a lot of background sound of other people talking, as if they were calling from a call centre.  The reception was very poor and I had a hard time hearing them, not to mention trying to decipher what they were trying to say in their strong f-cking accent!  The same speel was given - that I had filled out a ballot in a store this past September and that is how they got my name.  Since I rarely fill ballots, I asked what store I had filled it out in and he said they did not know?  I told him this all sounded like a scam and I did not want any part of it.  He went on to say they were affiliated with Hakim Optical and Bad Boy Furniture - as if that was something to be proud of, lol.  I wouldn't drop a cent in either of those **** run, low end stores.  He then said to come with empty pockets and no credit cards.  All I would have to do is show up at the Drew Rd address, give them my prize # and collect my prize.  No mention was made of lunch or having to sit through a lecture.  I asked why they would so easily give away prizes like that and he said becuase they were counting on peoples word of mouth.  Through out this conversation, he avoided giving me an answer as to what exactly this company "Premium International" does.  The first guy then said he would put me throught to his Senior Manager.  I asked the name of the first guy and he said Ronnie, the Senior Mgr also had a (fake) white man's name.  Once on the phone with the mgr he wanted to verify my age group and income bracket.  He pressed quite hard saying that they had an opening that day at 2:30 p.m.  I told him my husband wasn't around but I could come with a friend or my brother.  he strongly objected to that, saying that I would need to come with my husband.  I asked why and he said that in case I win the trip I would have to prove that he was my husband and he was coming with me, otherwise they could not hand us 2 pairs of tickets...such BS.  The mgr said he had 12, 2:30 amd 4:00 p.m time slote open the next day and to call him back before the end of day to verify what slot i would be showing up for the next day.  As soon as I got off the phone i did a search on the Internet and confirmed what I suspected from the start - this was all a scam.  This all confirmed what I always thought of Indians, they have the lowest business ethics and would lie through their teeth to gain something.  Every experience I have had with this type has been negative and always involved them lying or trying to rip you off = scum bags!

Guy called from (905) 218-0759 when i told him to put me on the do not call list he told me to f*** myself.

I have just received a phone call from the phone numbers (905) 218-0759, despite the fact that I have told him several times that I am not interested and do not call.  He kept calling for at least 4-5 times and I have just reported it to the police.  Listen, I think we should all file a complaint with the National Do-not-call dept.  Pls do not fall in the scam

I haven't received a call from this "**** moron" as yet, but some of my friends have. Anyway...Sam (second post May 26, 2009) is right. The first post by Steve Tucker is part of the scam. It is that same **** idiot who is responsible for the first post. It's real easy...1)The post by Steve Tucker has a positive attribute towards the scam and 2) The language used shows that this moron has a very bad grasp of the English language. Steve Tucker? Yeah right...more like Adbul Mohammad!!! Not falling for your little scam buddy...you might have to look elsewhere to raise money for your brothers in Al Qaeda....
