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....

Really pushy jerk from "Canada Gifting Center", which is a timeshare presentation scam "i.e. congratulations come get your free gift!".

He also said "you filled out a ballot at Christmas". Oh no we didn't.

This is the third time they've called us.

So I asked to be put on their do not call list again, he actually said the only way to remove myself from their list is to attend their (timeshare) presentation!

Very rude and argumentative!

the next time i'm in markham, i might check this place out.

I just received a call from a man with a very thick accent who claimed he was Sam something or other, offering me those same prizes. He claimed that their "promotion" was sponsored by Toshiba and by Western Union money transfer. He also claimed taht I had filled out the ballot in December 2007. I have a policy of NEVER filling out ballots so that got my back up immediately. He said that we could show up at the "Ceremony" and that there were no seminars etc and it was "very beautiful". I told him that I wasn't interested and hung up.

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.

Received similar call as above - when I finally hung up on him, he called back but left no message. What a big scam - wanted to verify my marital status and household income. Got kind of p.o.'d when I said I didn't no why he needed to confim my household income as it was none of his business. That was when I hung up :)
