I just received my very own call from this company. JOY!! It went pretty much as everyone else here has reported. Same address in Woodbridge, same website www.pbcinc.ca. The first dude I talked to, who's accent is so think you can barely understand him, was very insistent that this was strictly ligit and I MUST have filled out a ballot at the Milton home show. NOT. I have never been there. Then he pulled the old "well someone you know must have done it on your behalf". He rambled on about my potential prizes and the last one he listed was a trip to Florida. Right away I knew this must be a time share thing. He basically ignored everything I was telling him and kept telling me to write down the details including my gift claim number. I decided to play along as if he had convinced me, when in reality I wanted all his info so I could report them. Then he passed me along to his supervisor who at least I could understand better. I dont think he was happy that the first dude gave me their web addy, because I had my laptop on and had the site up while talking to him. He didnt have an answer when I questioned why they insisted it was NOT a timeshare presentation when the website stated that it was. I told him that I was not interested and he called me dumb for not wanting to take advantage of the gift I won. This guy just would not take no for an answer. I told him that I better not get another call from them and that if I did I would be reporting them to the proper authorities. He STILL insisted I was missing out on this great deal and I finally just hung up on him. Oh, one thing that differed in my call was that they did not ask to confirm my age or marital status. They called me Ms. XXXXXXXXX when they started the call and they had my mailing address. They did not have my first name which they asked me for. I think they run numbers through a program similar if not actually, Canada411.ca which gives out street address's when you enter a phone number.

They scamed me for $4000.00

So all of you are pretty much correct, it's a scam the company does illegal things and easily tricks people out of THOUSANDS of dollars, I know from personal experience. I hope more people are reading these forums so they know that when they get a call they either, threaten to call the police, call the police or come in with the police. What they are doing isn't right, they've already been sued once, but that clearly wasn't enough because they are still at it and as of my concern they are trying to make the company bigger.

Thank you so much for your comments. I got the call this morning... and was given the same story as George, LG, Lynn.... (905) 754-5163 Ext: 112 6175 Hwy 7 Unit 6 Woodbridge L4H 0P6 Hwy 7 & 27 Major Intersection.
I got the same story that we must have entered a ballot in April ... a long time ago...at one of the popular malls of course you don't remember. It was a long time ago. Company is Premium Incorporated website is www.pbcinc.ca. No obligation no presentation is the sales pitch. They say that all you need to do is bring 2 pieces of photo and name ID give it to the receptionist with the gift claim number that the Sr. manager-- Whose name by the way is Paul Stevens... has given you and you'll be shown the 5 prizes mentioned above you'll draw for one and you'll be given the prize. No hassle no problem. He said it could take anywhere from half an hour to 90 minutes... totally up to you. Refreshments will be served.
They try to legitimize their pitch by "reading you the back of the ballot"-- Married?- Between the ages of 27-65?- Address ?-- well they gave an old address of which we had not lived in for 9 months. And they didn't know my first name.. weird... and the last name they had didn't match the name registered to the phone company. Someone is selling info to these companies. Outdated info at that.
Thanks for saving me the trip to Woodbridge. We could withstand the presentation and tactics but I have a better way to spend my Saturday Morning... without the pressure and threats. In peace. Website is vague, and I couldn't find anything on the Better Business Bureau website. Thank you for putting in the time to make comments here. This is a scam because we know that we make a point of not entering into any contests at malls. And we wouldn't want any of these varied prizes... Furniture... trip to Niagara Falls...Laptop...1500$ cash.

Oh the Premium Buyers Club...I can always expect a call from you!
Yes, they have been calling me since October 2009 to come to their 'headquarters" at 1510 Drew Road (Mississauga) to claim one of the *5* fabulous prizes just waiting for me to pick up! Wow, I somehow even entered into a draw at a "retail location" "months ago" and that all I have to do is leave my wallet at home and come on down to pick up my prizes! WOW!
So, I did lots of research (because obviously they have scammed more than just 1 person) and as luck would have it: THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT TO 1,000'S OF PEOPLE! Please, don't go there. They just want to sell you a timeshare and their HIGH PRESSURE HARD SELL is hard for some people to resist. It's not worth it. I've heard stories of the people that work there being very threatening if you don't purchase one of their 'packages.'
I have already collected at least 5 of their phone numbers and contacted Crime Stoppers and the BBB. Hopefully we can all put a stop to these people once and for all.
