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 for different purposes. I also recieved a call (but only one) so in my case I think it is a private investigator looking for information OR my boyfriend's wife.
This number just called. A recorded message came on the line.
"recently a friend entered your name and number at a Bloomingdale's store, and we are calling you to congratulate you for being selected. You have won a free all inclusive vacation to Cancun Mexico. To receive this free trip please press 1 on your phone keypad".
This number has been calling me every week for months on end. They keep changing their number but the message is always the same.
This call is pure fraud, as they will probably tell you to give your credit card details to them, so they can charge a small processing fee/or departure taxes to your credit card for the trip. This is the oldest game in the book. I wonder if those Nigerian [***] are being this one?
Can the authorities not stop these people? This is the second tele-marketing fraud I've received today.
I've reported this phone call to www.recol.ca . Actually I've filed a complaint for the police. I've had it with this company. After months and months of them calling my number, I've decided to report this issue to the police/RCMP.
They will not stop calling my phone, so getting the police on their tail is my only choice left.
Just received a call at our law office from this number. It was a recorded message and as soon as the message started I just hung up. Will report it to www.donotcall.gov since we are on the do not call list.
Just received a call from this number a minute ago, did not pick it up. Immediately did a search for the number and here I am. I'm sick of getting harassed by numerous Bulls**t phone calls. If I knew everyone responsible for causing these calls I would line them up and shoot 'em all.
