Now they are blocking the number from caller id and when questioned as to the reason for the call he told me he was calling my office ??? Huh??? like I dont know where I am. He hung up on me when I pressed him for an answer on the reason for his call (he states he is the manager ... like that should impress me) and called on my other line. I answered it, because now its a game, asked if it was the same manager ... got no response so I hung up and hopefully they will stop calling now. What does bother me is they know my name. Do NOT like that!
got a strange call from this number, they had the name of one of my family members, and claimed to be calling from the National Grant Center?? The man calling had a heavy Indian accent, and claimed to be located in Buffalo NY, which is odder still, since I live in the GTA, Ontario. I googled the national grant center, and they are located in Santa Barbara, CA, USA. Seems like a scam to me.
Except it was 'Canadian Value Solutions' calling. They even have their own website. Yeah, smells like a scam to me. www.canadianvaluesolutions.com is the one that is currently operational...
And it seems that they have a previous ghost site that they did not get rid of in time. Same name, except .net domain.
Sad.
Also, one more thing. There are two trip/planning/vacation websites where folks can post reviews about companies and their vacations, etc, that I have come across with reviews about CVS. However they make CVS sound like the best thing since sliced bread, showering their name with endless thanks and boasts that make their trip sound nothing short of epic.
Canadian Value Solutions was TVS, The Vacation Store. They changed their name. Google TVS on the BBB and you will see why the name change. And for every person that goes to the FREE dinner to get their FREE gifts for attending their presentation, it ends up costing the person 39.90 to get the FREE gifts as promised. They are given a voucher for the free trip promised, then another voucher for the Free early bird gifts. To get the gifts you have to mail it in along with 19.95 in a cheque or money order for each FREE gift...How is this FREE...this is false advertisement, and a SCAM
I just got off the phone with Johnson from Canadian Value Solutions. He called me at 8:45am on Saturday morning and woke me up. They promised a free trip to Cancun/Las Vegas and another trip to Orlando, Fl with a bonus gift of a weekend in Niagara Falls. We thought it was a scam so we didn't want to answer the phone the next time he called but he called four times in two hours. Finally, we picked up and told the guy we're no longer interested but he persisted in telling us it's a big mistake and we shouldn't miss out. But that didn't bother us much since we've already been to all those places on our own! The only thing that got him off the phone was when I told him someone wanted to give us a free weekend at a Blue Mountain resort but we just needed to pay $60 up front. I told him nothing is for free and if he really wanted to give us the trip, he can mail it. But he didn't want to do that and he agreed nothing in life is for free and hung up.
got a call last night. beware these fraudsters have changed they're game again. same lame sell. new company...www.canadianvaluesolutions.com and new location in Vaughan..
