Got a call about it from some holiday place or something.Person spoke really broken english (Indian accent) and said I filled out a form to win a prize in zellers or walmart or somewhere - except i dont shop there nor do i fill out forms like that. said he has my address, which is right, except he said i live in north york, which is what the postal office says, i always say toronto.told him i didnt fill anything out since he called and ask for Mr. or Mrs... and there is no Mrs. so couldnt have been me. Asked not to be called again and if I do it goes to the CRTC as i am registered with teh do not call list. He abruptly stopped talking and i hung up.

This number (416) 642-0882 asked for me by first name. The man said he calling regarding Education plans for kids. He asked me personal questions, I refused to answer and asked him how he got my name and phone number, he was so rude, he replied "you don't need to know" . After asking him several times how he got my name and number he told me to "GO TO BED" and hung the phone up. This is very strange...I will report it to Bell in the morning. Caller ID Unknown

OK, so first the company providing service for that number is Allstream (waiting for them to call me back). I have already gotten RBC involved due to the fact that they are committing fraud. I have also gotten the RCMP Fraud department involved as well and encourage the rest of you to do the same by calling 1-+1 888-495-8501 or info @ phonebusters.com I also encourage you to involve whatever company they may have claimed to be representing as that is a good way to get something done about it, Bell does not appreciate this sort of false representation and have the money and lawuers to do something about it. If they call you again immediately after the call dial *57 to activate a call trace, then about 2 - 3 days after, call your local police department with the time and date and they will give you all the info you need about that number which you can then use to file a report with them (I was unable to trace my call because I didn't know about all this) I have a theory that this info may have been gained through a contest ballot such as the ones I filled out at a bridal show at the Metro Toronto Convention Center 2 years ago. Plus the RCMP fraud phone department is having a major issue with people getting those calls saying they have won a trip and whatnot. I usually get those from filling out contest ballots... $200 to go to Mexico! Yeah right. P.S. Use this sight as reference when reporting these people to companies and/or police. Hope this helped... just don't give up, that's how they win... people to lazy to do something about it. What they are doing is illegal and wrong.

I just received a call. I tried to call back. Says number not in services. I think its a pay phone.

THESE ARE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!!! They said there were from Bell's marketing department - they offered me high speed internet and modem - 3 months free and then $22.95 after that (it seemed authentic until they said... ) "for life"... they wanted my mastercard, visa or american express "reservation number".. which is another way of asking for YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER - they assured me that it was for verification purposes only and that they didn't want the security number on the back ... when I said that I wasn't comfortable, they asked about my banking information. I declined. They phoned back again using a different person - high pressure assurance but I'm not stupid - they cold called me - they say they are from a reputable company - all wonderful stuff but all bull crap!
