1-(778) 785-4596 called my cell @ 743pm oct1/09something about pressing 1 didnt get the whole mgsif i were u dont press 1 if u happen to actually pick it upI Googled area code 778 it's from BC, CAN lol

Telemarketer for sure, no one answered when I pushed 1, typical

When I answered the computerized voice said I just won $260.00 and to press 1 to claim...  I waited on the line a few seconds (did NOT press 1) and the line disconnected...  Total SCAM!!!

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.

I got a call from this number too.
so did my mom..
same day.. about the same time
