I've been getting calls from these creeps two to three times a week . I live in Alberta. Have always just hung up. Until yesterday. Listened to the whole message about how I or someone else had entired my name and I had won a vacation. At the end, I was asked to press 1 for more information, or press three to decline. I pressed 1, thinking I would talk to a person. I then asked them to removed my name from their calling list. After verifying my number, a man said "that is a twenty-five dollar 'kick-in' fee. Sorry. good night"
After reading the varied comments from everyone, I will add mine. It is fairly easy to alter Caller ID. This number is probally being used as a "screen" by several people with different purposes. I also received a call (but only one) so in my case I think it is a private investigator looking for information OR my boyfriend's wife.
- the 269 area code is Michigan (Allegan, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, Kalamazoo, South Haven)
- they must be awful busy as I too get this phone number calling me numerous times every week in Barrie, Ontario
- I never answer it so I don't know what they want
