A guy with a think Indian accent called. Asked for my wife then offered to collect one of 5 prizes, including $1,000 cash. Need to collect personally. Also said that either me or my wife filled a ballot. Wanted to confirm some personal details, which I refused. Connection was very poor, it is definitely an IP telephony (not very good). SO I gather they call from India using one of the local phones as their gateway. The Caller ID may be fake.

Hi,Similar to everyone here, I received a call from "Ontario Grant Centre" at 9:11 AM.  The first person on the phone had a very thick east asian accent.  He said I had won a prize based upon a coupon I had completed in December.  He said that I could win one of the following:1- Arabian Cruise (might have been Caribbean but with his accent sounded like arabian)2- Giant Screen TV3- Hilton Head Vacation4- $10005- 1 week in Canc*ntheir address is:216 Chrislea Rd, 2nd flrWoodbridge (near hghwy 7 & weston)He transferred me to his senior supervisor "Shane Smith" who confirmed my info:1- age 30 - 79 (maybe it was 39 but he had a heavy accent as well)2- income >50kHe said there company was Canadian Grant Centre and that there was no obligation they were promoting thier company in Canada.  He said they were US based and operate in the US under the name "Premium Buyers Club".I found the following link describing "Premium Buyers Club":http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/premium-bu ... eferrerid=32220 He provided me with a "password" that we needed to present.  As well, we could not bring our children with us (unless over 14).  This all sounded very strange.  I told him that the "password" was a strange step as: a- you contacted me and have my contact info; b- if I bring two pieces of ID it corroborates my ID.  He became a little agitated and said that this was their procedure and part of their gifting ceremony.  He provided me a contact number of (416) 548-5981 and called from ID (905) 258-9201.I called back with feedback from this site and asked to speak with "Shane".  I was transferred to someone who answered "Extension 6060".  I asked if it was "Shane" and he said yes.  I told him they had mislead and that we were not interested in listening to a program where we had to purchase points and that we would not be coming in.  He was defensive and tried to push me to come in.  I declined and he said "no problem" and let go of the call.AJ

I received the same phone call. After hanging up the man repeatedly called back progressively getting more aggressive, ending by calling me a b***h and w***e. I have reported this call and encourage all others to do so as well. Currently phonebusters only have 3 calls on file. The more they get, the better the investigation.

We received a call today from this number too.  The guy claims that we filled out a coupon at Walmart and we've won a prize.  We knew it was a scam and declined it.  He then went on to say that it is the Canadian Law that we must pay $500 if we do not claim.   We pay nothing if we claim.   Is he really thinking that we're idiots?   There would never be such a law in any country.  

We hung up the phone after.

Same deal.  Super scam only when I started getting pissed and hangin up the guy kept calling, and calling and calling... I told him enough I am going to call the cops... he called me a son of a bi*ch CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT????  I reported him to rogers, but there wasnt much that they could do cause the number is fake.Oh and to top it off the dud left a message!!! Tell me that he was going to MAKE me talk to his manager!!! Oh his name was Samuel RichardLOL
