Ya, i just got the call too. Same setup - 5 gifts (tv, $1000 cash, trips), just make an appointment with you and wife to come to the Woodbridge site.
The phone number was 1 221 709 6807.
Same call today, this time they indicated the address was 1510 Drew Road Unit 6 in the Dixie and Derry Road area of Mississauga. Feeling lucky I was able to find this shared information as it saved me a trip and a negative experience. They identified themselves as Freeman International which is a "gifting Centre". The first man identified himself as Austin Richards and then I was passd on to the Manager, another man with a South Asian accent, named John Matthews. They stated I completed a yellow ballot last December at a Shopping Mall but were unable to give details. Thanks you for the posts.
Exactly the same scam as before and I thank everyone who posted this. I was on the phone for over 14 mins with a girl who couldnt speak English very well so when I told her I couldnt understand her a man came on. The number came up as 922137096411. They claimed I had filled out a 'ballot' or competition at either a number of places on Feb 18?? Including Food Basics and Walmart! Can they mention these companies? Is this legal? the address they gave was also 216 Chrislea Rd Woodbridge. Thankfully I declined when he tried to keep me on the phone for ages and wouldnt give me the number I needed because he had 'a lot of information' still to give me. How awful it is that these people can access my phone number, name and effectively lie!! Im glad I ended the conversation! Thanks again to all!
We received the exact same call over the weekend. We made an appointment to go see them, but after we hung up the phone we did a quick google search and found this blog (thank you!). We clearly realized it was a scam and didn't go to the appointment. So the day of the appointment arrived and we received another phone call us asking us what we would like to eat at our dinner appointment with the National Gift Store that night. I advised them we wouldn't be coming. The guy on the phone started getting angry with me demanding to know why I would make an appointment if I wasn't going to show up. I was very polite in the beginning, but after he persisted I told him flat out because I knew it was a scam. He had the nerve to start going off on me and called me A [***] [***]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then he continued to verbally accost me, called me and [***] and then hung up!!!! THIS IS A BIG SCAM. What I'd like to know is how do I file a complaint for harassment? I tried all the numbers listed above, but was unable to get back in contact with them! THE NERVE!!!!!
