1) Got an unsollicited SMS on my cellphone, from 514-261-3346, urging me to call 514-788-5500 to claim a cheque that I won for some reason or another... Duh! Free money! Right!
2) I decided to investigate, using a bullet-proof calling source: Skype, using a non-dedicated phone number.
So I called 514-788-5500, where I got a recorded message saying: "(?)... your call because you are using a confidential number. For more information, call the following toll-free number: 1-888-985-2233
3) Using Skype, I called 1-888-985-2233, where I reached the automated, bilingual ( French/English) switchboard of Voxtel where I was offered to route my call depending on my quest, namely about a phone encounter, an internet encounter, or a problem with a phone bill...
At that stage, I did not pursue the matter. I surely smelled a rat early in that sequence.
