Why do they do this ? What's in there for a company who does this ? Is it to verify that the phone number randomly dialed is associated with a real person ? And then what ? It's not so much the call but the BIG LIE that disturbs me to a point of disgust... I'm glad to see that we are probably thousands to have won this boat cruise. What a party !!!! :o)
Typical scam. "You have won a free trip to the Caribbean - please press 9 to receive your prize".
NEVER hit 9 - that's where they get you. I'll be checking the next phone bill to make sure no "special" charges come in anyway.
Complained to the phone company (we are on a do-not-call list), was told there is nothing they can do.
These a-holes call me every day and Im also on the do not call list.I never pushed 9 but I did try to call the number back and just got a beep sound.Nothing but bull!
These guys just don't give up - yesterday it was from Saskatoon today from these guys wherever they are.
I hang up once I hear "congratulations you have" ..........schmucks!
A woman called and said I won a free trip to Caribbean. Said I won it through my Visa card when I don't even have one. Tried to ask for my expiry date on my MasterCard. I don't the female telemarketer that this is private. She hung up right away.
