I just received a phone call on my cell from (416) 572-9989. I didn't recognize it and so I didn't pick up. I googled it and found out it is a junk number. I wish the author of this call would just leave well alone.

Hi all I just let you know that this auto system is a fake call and we post this to you to understand this. "AIR MILES does not use an automated message to notify Collectors they have won reward miles. Protect your Personal Information. Never give your AIR MILES Collector Account number or PIN in response to a telemarketing call."
Always check the website as this "The AIR MILES® Reward Program was informed by our email service provider that they had an unauthorized entry into their email platform, which is the system used to send AIR MILES emails. We have been assured that the only information that may have been exposed was first name, last name and email address of some of our Collectors. Details of your account are not stored in this system and were not at risk. Please note it is possible you may receive spam email messages as a result. We want you to be cautious when opening links or attachments from unknown third parties. We want to remind you that AIR MILES will never ask for your personal information or login credentials in an email. As always, be cautious if you receive emails asking for your personal information and be on the lookout for unwanted spam. It is not our practice to request personal information by email.
As a reminder, we recommend that you:
- Don't give your AIR MILES Collector number or PIN in email.
- Don't respond to emails that require you to enter personal information directly into the email.
- Don't respond to emails threatening to close your account if you do not take the immediate action of providing personal information.
- Don't reply to emails asking you to send personal information.
We regret that this has taken place and apologize if this causes you any inconvenience. We take your privacy very seriously and we will continue to work diligently to protect your personal information. If you have any questions please contact us at question @ airmiles.ca or 1-888-AIR MILES.

I answered a call from (416) 572-9989. ?I was met with an automated recording saying I had just one 100,000 air miles rewards.  In order to accept I was asked to press '1.'I tried to call the number back, but received a message saying that the number was 'no longer in service'

Again, Bell customer reward.
They can't do anything if you press buttons.

I like to press 1 because (after a wait) someone will answer the phone and ask for more info.
The best thing to do is waste their time!

If each call takes 1 minute of their time, instead of .5 seconds for a no answer - it will become unprofitable for them.

Basically, i 'tarpit' the automated callers.
