I had a very nice long chat with Shane - ext 147 - on May 5 regarding all of the wonderful prizes that were being offered to me because I had filled out a contest entry form. I know I hadn't hadn't done so but they siad I probably just forgot since it was a few months ago.
I listened dutifully and responded when required as I watched TV and took down all of the information including my gift code and where I can pick up my prize after sitting through a 90 minute presentation - not a minute more at 1510 Drew Rd.
I just called PhoneBusters to report them with all of the information. They're not exactly doing anything illegal but they are misleading.
Called saying that I won 1 of 5 prizes just come down to 1510 Drew Road, Unit 6 to pick one of the prizes.
I LOVE THESE GUYS ( I yelled @ one of them and they called back to harass, so beware if you do not think this is funny)
So I called the Phone Busters of Canada, this is a great scam, they get you to go to the centre and to sit through a presentation for a timeshare.
Here is how it works, They all have english names ( none are english )
Andrew
Jenny Dasousa
James etc...
They are local people, they are seperate from the company that provides the timeshares ( they are LEGIT and you cannot do anything ) they are just telemarketers.
I collect the information and harass them periodically.
Phone # 1 416-548-5982 , if you change the last digit you get another agent. Call the next agent ask for the same person that called you.
They always ask for the ext when you call back, just tell them you spoke to the supervisor ( James, or Andrew ) Tell them that you do not have the ext, or use one of the above extentions people have posted in the blog.
They block your # when you call back so then just call from a friends cell or something and let it ring then have fun. Put them on speaker and try to get them mad. They will stay on the phone the whole time, I like to play a game where we record the call then try to keep them on longer the next time. Call back with a different voice the next day! Youtube the clips after under calls to telemarketers.
The best thing to do is to ask for
Andrew, James, Jenny Desousa, William Lee, John Mathew.
When you call in they ask you who were you speaking to? And what was your name? What is your code ( R-1575 ) there are many posted in this blog.
I like to use a generic name: Mohammed etc...
So far the following numbers work:
416-548-5981
416-548-5982
416-548-5983
416-548-5984
416-548-5985 ( Busy signal )
He must be the office manager, as when I use other names they question me more about when I called in. ( I imagine as most call centres , they do their calling on Sat, jus tell them Sat ) Use a generic name like Mike or Mohammed and they put you through and you can have fun!
We're on the DNC list but it doesn't seem to matter.

Address was 1510 Drew Rd, Mississauga. Phone used was 548-5983 ext. 1200.
Supervisor's name was Steve Park (not with that accent buddy!)
