We received a call from this number on March 15, 2013 in the afternoon. Ordinarily we don't answer the phone to numbers we don't recognize as we get a number of calls a week from presumed scams. However my husband did answer this call as he wasn't using a phone that had call display at the time. There was silence for a time and then an automated voice came on to say that we have won a prize for answering a survey on line. That is when my husband hung up. This same scam seems to be used with various phone numbers.

This is a fraud campaign currently active in Canada using a series of Iristel VOIP numbers. The objective is to obtain your credit card number and drain your account.
If you attempt to "opt out" your number will be confirmed as live and added to a suckers list for repeated future calls.
