We received 2 calls telling us we won a vacation get away. I insisted we never entered for any prize and we were not interested but he insisted it was free and a prize that maybe someone else entered us. (NOT likely.) He also asked when a good time to call back was so I said Sun. Here it is the next day and he calls back so I asked for the number and name of him and co. This is what I got...

I'm calling consumer affairs. Our number is on a no call list and when I told him to take our number off his call list he kept insisting we won.

A man who identified himself as Michael Ben David. This number was given as the callback number from someone who had been identified as the supervisor of a man at 416-360-4084. They are engaged in a telephone procedure in the Toronto area that consists in informing you have won one of five prizes (Plasma TV, $1000 in cash, or one of three vacations) and that you should go to an address in Woodbridge to claim your prize. They use your name and address information to claim that you have filled out a "ballot" which entitles you to a prize. The address is given as TVS, The Vacation Store, Building 216 (second floor), 202 Chrislea Road, Woodbridge, Ontario L4L 8S5. There are numerous blogs on the internet that identify this as either a telemarketing ploy, a scam or a fraud.
I was called January 17, 2009. Exactly the same address and proposed prizes. The man identified himself as George Morrison. He didn't get around to asking for detailed information as I said that I had to find a babysitter before figuring out what date to attend.
i just receive a call from 213-709-6917.. they told me that i have sign a ballot in the mall and that i won and i can choose 1 out of the 5 prize ..she gave me her number 716-406-4415 and said to call her back to claim my prize. she told me its legit and i shouldn't take no money or credit card when i go to claim the prize but still she hasn't gave me an address . so i was still decided on my choice so i decided to call the 716 number and all the phone did was rang out .my mind told me just to google the numbers , and to find out the 213- number is in l.a and is a prepaid phone ,,,,.... sooo funny while im writing this someone from the same prize place just call me back name Mr.white ..he gave me the direction to his location ... the funny thing is that the address is 3 major intersection from where i live lol he ask me how old im and im like 19 and my bf is 24 and he hang up the phone .. lol this is the worst scam ever ,,cause my mom went there before because they call and said she one a trip for two . she and her husband went and all the man did is talked and told them they had to pay a certain amount of money inorder to go on the trip ... lol ......
