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 called but when i tried to call back there was only a busy signal. that may mean that they are a marketing company but maybe they were actually trying to progam my phone. When this happened to my friend who had a business and he kept erasing the stupid numbers they came into his house and cut his phone line meaning they were progamming his phone.

Exact same call as bjay. Person claimed to be from "Visa Mastercard Company" saying I had been selected for a trip to Florida for 4 people. I asked for a contact number to call them back at and they gave me the 1-800 number for TD Waterhouse. Given that TD does not issued Mastercards the whole thing is completely suspect.Person on the phone requested the 7 digits on the back of my Mastercard (which I made up as well as the fact that I even had a Mastercard at all), then he asked for the 3rd block of numbers on the front of the card, to which I again made up along with the expiry he requested. I asked him if he could verify my card immediately and he answered yes. He then read out a bunch of numbers which was supposely my Mastercard number and asked me to verify. I again questioned him if this was the number he had pulled from his database and he said yes. I can only assume he wanted me to correct his number and thereby give him a legit credit card number with expiry and the security code on the back.The Caller addresses you as Mr. "insert your lastname here" or Ms. "lastname" and can obviously get your address through the phone book. Do not fall for readily available information as being verification that they are legit!I've since reported this to the OPP but given that the number appears to be some cover number I doubt it's traceable. My only advise to people is to be EXTREMELY skeptical of phone calls which dangle carrots.

What is unfortunate with Canada and their so called "Do Not Call List" Apparently it has done the opposite. Somebody or somehow got these registered numbers and after giving your number to the government for private agencies to stop calling you. You get your number sold to scam artists to call you whenever they want and both you as if you have nothing better to do then to talk to some indian guy trying to sell you something.
It is pathetic.

This # is used for by a service for long distance calls, you call a # and its free long distance, so it could be anyone calling
