I received first missed-call from this number about 8-9 months ago. I called back, a guy answered and told me that he doesn't know who or why someone gave missed call to me. Thereafter I started receiving missed calls regularly, almost alternate day. If I call back the number is unreachable. I think someone prankster is trying to pull a dumb joke.
Got the same call today to attend their presentation tomorrow, allegedly my name got drawn from a ballot at the Gentlemen's Expo. Has anyone actually attended?
I have received numerous calls from this number since attending a show at the International Centre. Apparently I won 1 of 5 prizes which include a full livingroom furnature set, a 50inch flat screen tv, an all inclusive free 7 day trip to Florida, a $1200 gift card for Home Depot, and I forget the last one. The catch is that you have to attend a presentation and they just hand you the prizes afterward. The saying that if something seems too good to be true it probably is applies in this case. You dont get anything for nothing! Additionally, the caller told me I had filled out a ballot stating that I was married (which I am not), that I own a house (which I do not), and that I have an income of over $60k/year (which is something I would NEVER NEVER declaire!!! I NEVER state my income level!!). Those are the 3 basic requirents for this scam. Lastly, after speaking with the "manager" about the details, she forgot to hang up the phone, which allowed me to hear their discussion. The manager stated that they needed to get another 10 people to confirm (which doesnt make sense if there is only 5 prizes!), and the "employees" were laughing and joking like immature children! They were loud enough that I could hear everything that was said, which will not be repeated. Completely unprofessional at any rate, it is a COMPLETE SCAM!!!!! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!
Note - This company has also called me on my HOME PHONE LINE, which is one that is not listed under my name and I NEVER give out for personal use!!! I am assuming they figured out my address (which I also dont give out!!!) and made the connection. This is EXTREMELY SKETCHY!!! Err on the side of caution!!
