why dont they get real jobs. soo annoying i just got a call from them as well soo annnoying

Just got a call from this number (778) 785-4596 on my Edmonton, Alberta home phone.  Hung up before I could answer.  Did not lv a mssg on my voice mail.  When I called back the line was busy.

got call too .. message said 'you have won travel points or discount or something of $2600 or $2601, press 1 to claim'i just hung up778 is cell prefix for BC someone is using cell phone, probably pre-paid, to do automated dialing.  but from people's reports above, nothing happens when you press 1.i suspect it is some scheme to test phone numbers for viability.  perhaps they get our numbers from some harvesting method, then test them to see if answered, if press 1 or not, and if answerer was male/female voice, detect accent if any, and to record what people say eg do they swear, or ask who is it etc.its a kind of intelligence gathering scheme.  prob can get some interesting demographic, marketing data doing this.it is borderline illegal though as it is calling 'do not call' numbers, and if the users could get their heads together, we might discover that the harvesting method is illegal or unethical too.

On Nov 27 @ 12:06 p.m., received a call from this number at work (land line), followed by a call on my cell phone the same day at 12:16 p.m. ?Did some research to find out that this number is a land line located in Vancouver, BC somewhere around Pacific ??  I did not answer the call and no voicemail was left.

I received an unsolicited call from this number in violation of the National Do Not Call List regulations. ?I hit 1 and spoke to a heavily-accented agent who repeatedly mumbled the name of the company- it sounded a bit like "American Eagle Vacations".  I told them they were in violation of the DNC registry, that I would report them, and that they must immediately remove my number from their listings.  Then, I reported them on the DNC website.  Don't forget the importance of reporting telemarketers who violate the DNC list!

Called me, went straight to voicemail because of my call restrictions but didn't leave a message.what a waste of minutes!!!
