so, we get several calls a day from this number... funny thing is our number is a brand new land line(new for us)  So, my spouse who has worked in tele-sales is not only annoyed but decieds to play back to them.   This company is a scam targeting people who dont know any better.  After being transfered to several "managers" we were assured we wont be called any longer... but they had no reference to which number (we called them back from a cell)I would recommend anyone who recieves calls from this number to ask to be removed from their call list.

Just got off the phone with "Kevin".  I let him do his spiel and then told him I wasn't interested.  He wouldn't stop talking, so I had to hand up -- he actually called back, and demanded to know why I hung-up!  We had quite a lengthy debate about the value of this promotion and what was in it for his company.
I've asked him to send me a copy of the "coupon" I filled out with the prizing and contact info in the mail.  I am not expecting anything in return. :-)

Relative got the call while I'm at work. They didn't leave anything more than a first name and this number. Looks like I can just ignore it.

I posted this earlier in the wrong place, but here goes again.

Just got back from our trip to Grand Ontario International. I got the same call everyone here got, spoke with Mr. Stevens and all. At first, I read the entries here, but decided to go check it out. I sat through a short presentation about the company and the future plans they have for furniture sales. I picked my prize- a Toshiba 42 inch plasma screen. I am very happy and will only say good things about them.

Eveyone here asumes it is a scam, and didn't go. We did and it was ok! Let's just say, we are very pleased to have taken advantage of this promotion.

I also recieved a call today and pretended i was my father who won. They think he is coming to pick up his gift tomorrow. I used to work telemarketing as a teen and i can tell you that when you get there they will try to sell you thinks. I asked how long we need to be there for and it went from 20 minutes to suddenly 2 hours. Thats for sure a sell call. One thing about me is that you dont call MY HOUSE and talk to me like an idiot. When he calls tomorrow i will see the telephone number pick up and give him a quick disclamer and then he will be listening to me! He wont even know what hit him. They are rude people.  Thanks for the varification guys because i googled the number and found this info on them.

hey all!
i totally just got the same call you all did.  the woman had a heavy indian accent and when it came time to give me the claim number she transfered me to a "manager" who did actually speak better english.  i guess their pitch is getting better b/c the guy gave my a number to call back and did give me a confirmation number.  same address (6175 hw 7 woodbridge) and company (premium inc) as everyone else. i googled the company and got jack all.  i was also a bit confused when they said not to bring friends or kids seeing as he claimed they are trying to "expand their business", why wouldnt they want exposure if this was the case.  i was also told that i would "draw" for 1 of 5 prizes and there will be 4 other people there.  he told me they are not trying to sell anything or get you to sign up, they are simply a US company trying to expand their business and trying too get their name out there.  he gave me the info that i would have to fill in the info, my income age etc, and gave me a rough guideline of what my info was.   im curious, do that actually have access to your income, age, marital status etc?  i was excited until i found this site and realized the call was crap.  i couldnt say i didnt fill anything out b/c i fill out ballots all the time,  i rarely give out my address though and they had it.  is there any way to block these people from getting my info?  im fully creeped out right now. especially since i told the guy id come by (tonight) since at the time i thought it was legit.
i feel for you all, i am now a little wiser.
