I just received a call from a man with a very thick accent who claimed he was Sam something or other, offering me those same prizes. He claimed that their "promotion" was sponsored by Toshiba and by Western Union money transfer. He also claimed taht I had filled out the ballot in December 2007. I have a policy of NEVER filling out ballots so that got my back up immediately. He said that we could show up at the "Ceremony" and that there were no seminars etc and it was "very beautiful". I told him that I wasn't interested and hung up.

I got a call too but I didn't answer... however, after reading some of your responses, especially "Really pushy jerk from "Canada Gifting Center", which is a timeshare presentation scam "i.e. congratulations come get your free gift!"." I realized that I got a call from them last year. Some brown dude with a thick, thick, Sri Lankan accent or something called asking for me... which I said she's not here. He went on to ask me for MY (who i told him i was not the person he was looking for) number. I said I only have a cell. He wanted that. When I wouldn't give it to him, he started asking me for my name, where I lived, what I liked, and said he's new to New York (knowing I'm in Canada) and wanted to get to know me and become friends and s**t. I played on and said 'if this was a legitimate phone call, how do you think your employer would like you asking me all these personal questions'. He laughed and said he didn't care, but you could tell he was just f***ing around, and as was I. It was fun at first to waste his time, but then I said f*** it. He was fine with saying good bye by then. I never believe people who call me. If I'm interested (which is rarely ever), I research first. If they are legit, good for them. If not, f*** off. Sorry for the language. Freedom of speech. Muah!

Just received a call from this guy, said he was from the gifting centre and that I had won something because I had filled out a form in December 2007. SCAM!!! If I catch this F#$%Ker I'll hang him by his B@#LS.

OK.... 3-5 calls per day. i guess they don't understand when i say "take my number off the calling list.. please".For those who are annoyed with these calls, call (416) 628-9766. i called today (sat sept 13th) and got a hold of someone live... hopefully he understood when i told him to take my name off. i'll keep you guys posted

Similar to the call I got. I asked the caller if he had a Do Not Call list as I was already on it. He then ignored my question and said something like ?'ll call  you later then". I insisted on speaking to his manager immediately. He said the manager was busy with another call. I said "get another manager" (I've worked in telemarketing and even the smallest ones will typically have at least 2 managers). He hung up on me.For some reason, call display showed "yali16".
