Caller claims to be from Canadian Promotion Co. at Highway 7 and Woodbridge, and that he has all my personal information in front of him from a yellow coupon I filled out in December 2007. He offers one of 2-5 "gift packages", including $1000 cash, a big-screen TV, or one of 3 vacations.

The man had a thick accent, and claimed to be named Mark Eaton, who could be reached at (416) 628-9766, which is a number that has been reported on several other sites.

Scam!

I have the same issue you guys have.  this idiot calls and I tell them not to call back or i will report them so some so-called "supervisor" calls me back and tells me i abused his authorities and to email him that i dont want the prize.  This is a guaranteeded case of some idiot with a phonebook attempting to commit identity fraud.  someone tell bell about this idiot.

This @$$hole just called me four times in a ROW.  The first time, I told him I wasn't interested and hung up.  The second time, I said, "You just called me.  I'm still not interested".  The third time (literally TEN SECONDS after I hung up the phone) I answered the phone with, "You've got to be f****ng kidding me??"  and he said, "No, no, just hear me out..."  I hung up.  The fourth time (ten seconds later), I answered with, "I'm calling the police now!" and the calls finally stopped.

Received a call from this "National Gifting Centre" stating that I had filled out a ballot sometime in Dec 2007.  He asked if I remembered. I said I might have I didn't remember.  He then went on to tell me about the prizes 1: $1000.00  2: Royal Carribean or Alaskan Cruise 3: HD Toshiba 52" TV 4- 1 day or week can't remember to Cancun, Mexico 5-1 week trip to South Carolina...something like that. Told me I would win one prize which I had to draw myself with my own hands....I hung up....

er - woodbridge

I got a call too but I didn't answer... however, after reading some of your responses, especially "Really pushy jerk from "Canada Gifting Center", which is a timeshare presentation scam "i.e. congratulations come get your free gift!"." I realized that I got a call from them last year. Some brown dude with a thick, thick, Sri Lankan accent or something called asking for me... which I said she's not here. He went on to ask me for MY (who i told him i was not the person he was looking for) number. I said I only have a cell. He wanted that. When I wouldn't give it to him, he started asking me for my name, where I lived, what I liked, and said he's new to New York (knowing I'm in Canada) and wanted to get to know me and become friends and s**t. I played on and said 'if this was a legitimate phone call, how do you think your employer would like you asking me all these personal questions'. He laughed and said he didn't care, but you could tell he was just f***ing around, and as was I. It was fun at first to waste his time, but then I said f*** it. He was fine with saying good bye by then. I never believe people who call me. If I'm interested (which is rarely ever), I research first. If they are legit, good for them. If not, f*** off. Sorry for the language. Freedom of speech. Muah!
