I recieved the same type of call from a man with an Indian accent. They told me they were calling from National Grant Centre on belaf of a mall where my name was drawn from a ballot box. THey told me the same types of things as the above reports. He tried to get me and my spouse to come to the address in Woodbridge and wanted us to each bring two piece of ID.
Obviously I did not go.
received a call from 416-800-1707 from a person with a thick Indian accent. I was first told I had to got to New York to pick up a package that I won and, after preying s'more, was told I had to got to an address in Woodbridge Ontario for a prize ceremony. I had a choice of 1 of 5 prizes ranging from an RCA big screen TV to a Florida vacation package. The miniumum that I had won was $1000 CDN. I was vaguely told that my name was drawn from a hand written ballot that had been submitted in 2007 either a gas station, shopping mall, etc., etc, ... but never told specifically where. in order to claim my prize, I had to make an appointment for a "prize ceremony". Was given 2 times (which was inconvenient for me) and mysteriously another time just opened up. Sounds like someone trying to sell you timeshare
I got the same call from 416-800-1707 (ext 445), the guy said he's William Shafer (not 100% sure I got the name correctly). He said he was calling from Consumer Center from Buffalo(US). Five prizes, etc. I don't believe in free stuff, but where is the fraud here?
What do you mean by "sell you timeshare".
Is the same scenario with Q-24 May just this the caller has a name:Mark Adam and I had to make an appointment for a the "prize ceremony" in 216 Chrislea Rd.Woodbridge Ontario.I am sure is a scam.
I got a call also from a gentleman with a thick indian accent who said his name was Roger and that I won a Victoria Secret gift prize worth $1000 and that I filled out the form from a mall in my area (of course) He actually started to reciet personal information and that is when I questioned his credibility. The more questions I asked the more frustrated he was and kept on saying "what you don't want the prize?"
I asked for his name and number because it came up unknown and because I knew it was a scam. And behold others with similar scenarios. Oh and yes he said that I would have to go pick it up in a location in Woodbridge.
Yup I got the call from some indian dude also asking for mr. or mrs. skinner what a dick, if they call me again someone is getting a serious [***] talking to them!!! he was sooooo rude too i hung up! assssshoolessss!
