My wife got a call from this number 1-905-158-1542 (no caller ID), and someone told her that we won 1 of 5 prizes from a ballot we filled out few months ago. After few minutes, my wife asked to talk to someone else because she couldn't understand the caller because of his heavy accent. Then a guy with the name Shawn Riccardo introduced himself as the manager who is originally from portugal, eventhough he sounded like he was from India, talked to my wife. My wife asked for his number to call him back after she talks to me, he gave her this number 289-475-5455 Ext 117, and asked to go to 6175 Hwy 7 unit 6 Woodbridge to claim one of the 5 prizes. He even gave her the confirmation number for the ballot that I assume we filled out.
Someone from this number called me June 26, 2010 saying the exact same thing as Panorama. I've won 1 of 5 prizes and to claim to go to the exact same address in Woodbridge. When I called to ask what their company name was and where they were located to make sure it was legit they said they were removing my name from the list and I am not to come anymore. OBVIOUSLY this is a scam! If you recieve a phone call like this do not go and report it to the police.
I too got this call today with all the same details about the prizes and call back number. The company name they provided me was "Ontario Source Centre Incorporated". Even had spoke with the Senior Vice President(?). They provided me 3 dates and 2 times for each date to pick up one of the prizes. When I told them my wife would not be able to attend the pick up they basically told me that she MUST be with me or the prizes are not valid. I then ended the conversations. Too much time delay between when they spoke and when I spoke, which usually means they are not in the same time zone. I've heard of people in other countries calling Canadians and some how tapping into the phone line to then route long distance calls through it. Anyone know if this can happen, and if it is true how can one protect against it?
#905-158-1520 (no caller ID) called at 8:29am (ET) on Sat Jul 10 - male person with an accent asked for Mr. & Mrs. {our surname}, and said that we won 1 of 5 prizes from a ballot we 'supposedly' filled out in Feb '10. They asked to confirm home address and range of family salary. Told me there was no financial obligation and that their 'basic' catch was to give out prizes to jump start this new company. This company apparently was a US one that is opening in Canada. Was provided address of 6175 Hwy 7, unit 6 Woodbridge to claim one of the 5 prizes. Was transferred to the Sr Mgr, Shawn Riccardo to get winning passcode and to confirm appointment. Told this person we do not want to go through any hard sell, and would call back if interested. Asked and got the 289-475-5455 for call back
I recieved the same phone call. The Company was called "Ontario Grand Central" I was told someone in my household had filled out the ballet and I had to give them the time I would want to pick up my prize. The "Senior Manager" said his name was Paul Stevens. All the information that you guys posted above was the same including the number that called me and the call back number.
