Yep. Same here. Answered (despite my tendency not to answer #s that show an area code i'm unfamiliar with) but they didn't answer..  Oh, and, after 9 o clock at night? That's LOW.. LOWWW!

Just got a call to my home in Vancouver BC from this number in Pennsylvania.  Didn't pick up.  Whoever they are, they must have money to burn -  even ld phishing must be very profitable.  (I recall a friend returning from a Las Vegas holiday saying "I wonder how they can afford to build those spectacular casinos and employ all those headline acts.")

Hey thanks for this info - I'll try that next time instead of pressing talk and then instantly pressing off.

recording telling me I won $1,600 travel dollars in a contest at CTC, Zellers or the Bay (someone  entered my name). These guys seem to get away with this crap. I guess there is no jail if they are defrauding Canadians

We received a call from this number, advising us we could get $ 1600.00 off a 7 day all inclusive trip to beautiful Cancun Mexico.  All food, drinks, entertainment and water sports were included.  The message then said press 1 for more details and it immediately said:  "we are sorry that feature is not available at this time, goodbye."  Out of curiousity, I dialed the number listened to a 60 sec (approx) message and pressed 1 again, only to get a "fast busy" dial tone.

I looked it up and viola .... it is a scam ????

Do not respond!

got the same call today ..............i wonder how they know what companys we deal with??????????

hey smizz, good on ya, i asked who? would b so thoughtful to think of sending *lil* o me on a* free*
oh wait , what do you mean its* NOT COMPLETELY FREE* trip to cancun or later in the conversation  FLORIDA, wow is that part* FREE*, youll do what, UPGRADE ME< from a lovely
squishy box of a room (under renovation I might add) or was it that the resort isnt quite complete??
thats it, you can see it on line, by the way, supposedly the girls i spoke with were in sunny CANCUN
I explained i have head injuries it might take me a few minutes to get my computer to the right page,
then after we chatted, I asked tons of ???"s, made it clear that my husband was in charge of all
finances(& 4 good reason) could they call back, Well we dont do that normally, its really a 1 shot deal, but if I WON, then its my prize, if i wasnt home to answer YOUD GIVE MY PRIZE **I won**
away?? doent seem right now does it,  oh i think i hear his car up 11 storeys(didnt tell them that)
false alarm im sure hell be home any minute, so tell me what R all the free things i can do during
my not so free stay at an incomplete, under construction, bogus resort please,  oh full spa, horses
go on, and on and on, BACK to WHO entered me?? oh right you cant say, why not? oh you dont have that info infront of you, RIGHT! you R in CANCUN(also some crap about privacy) that was
very weak I told her, not that she got it! SO in total waiting for my husband(who hold the golden egg
or should i say WALLET) i am not up on the cost of INTERNATIONAL calling these days, i can only
imagine, that if it were true,( never could or would be) calling me and entertaining me for GET THIS
53mins and 14seconds $$$???  OH yeah CANADIAN PEOPLE, she screwed up in the beginning
1st our phone is unlisted like many of yours, it is also under someone elses name, I do not know
how but i like it that way thank you. I am not a BRETT-mrs. or miss,
2ndly-big oops! WALMART IN THE STATES, not canada, therefor it would have had to be some-
one i know that would do such a nasty thing to me by entering my wrong name in a contest that
is a total scam to get CREDIT CARD INFO over the phone, and that had crossed the line and gone down to the UNITED STATES of america.  (i feel as if a piano should start playing some dramatic
piece right now) i recently learned that 90% of internet scams originate from NIGERIA thats alot
not bad for a girl with head injuries hey!  stay alert always read the pesky TERMS & CONDITIONS
its worth it people, youd b surprised at what you R giving your permission for regarding use of your
name and info,  teach your teenagers this, life is not that busy it takes all of 5mins max,  better than the countless hours and$$$ it can cost you in the end for not reading what you R agreeing to.

jamie,  thanks for the info #8
LYN, there are a couple or so databases you can add your ph# to, supposed to
remove your name from national call sheets, you would be surprised how many
reputable businesses you do biz with end up inadvertanly!!! sell your info to annoying
scammy co"s. customer lists and such seem hasrmless enough till these guys get thier
grubby mits on your* stuff*  I am only so helpful due to head injuries, cannot supply
you with removal # although this site in particular is a good place to start, also, start
at home, use your telephones call block feature, or give bad #"s a name on your call display.
once you find and sign up on a removal line it can take months,  so keep being dilligent
and as always remember everyone ***** IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE< IT IS
also ******#@!@#!$@#$%NEVER< NEVER GIVE ANY INFO OUT OVER PHONE OR INTERNET**
even to credit card co"s. THEY WOULD ALREADY HAVE YOUR INFO!!! PROPER NAME ETC>
do not be tricked into supplying the right spelling of your name or spouse, other phone #S
i have never entered a friend or family member into a contest in store or on line WITHOUT telling
that person.  THEY ARE SHIFFFTY PEOPLE, BE SMART AND REPORT<  even if its the
firefighters for ms,  the bull#@$ ones got my grampa  he had been donating for years, it took
one call to local firehouse to figure out it was a shifty scam.  using kids, they should be ashamed
(they are not) and burn in HE(double hockey sticks)  HELL.  ( sorry gramma) in B.C here
we have a group called FRAUD BUSTERS, and or PHONE BUSTERS< through the RCMP
Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  maybe your town has something like this too? check it out and post for others to use info,  we need to stick together,  I appreciate info I get from this site,  thanks everyone!!

Got this call 20 minutes ago. I called it back on my Proxy VOIP line and all it does is clicks to disconnect. doesn't ring.

I figured that his was another phone scam, I answered and listed to the recorded msg. but didn't press 1 when he prompted.

These criminals are targeting us in Canada too.

SAME HERE!

At 1:14 pm PST on Sept 2, 2011 I received a call from 215-383-9747 but did not pick up and the caller did not leave a message.  Area code 215 is Pensylvania USA.  I live in BC, Canada.

i live in canada and receive this number today.  it appears to be another scam call.

They called tonight & my husband answered, asked if i'd entered some contest or other while on the line. Said I didn't, so he hung up on the automated message. Same stuff as above, most likely trying to get credit card numbers, which we never, ever, give out over the phone! We just want these types of calls stopped, once & for all, but don't know who to contact. We're also from Canada.

Got call from 215-383-9747 Saying someone I know recently visited  Zellers, Canadian Tire or some other store and entered my name in a draw. And I won $1600.00 travel dollars towards a vacation in Cancun. Press 1 now to collect your travel dollars.

They hung up on me before I really got to give them the gears.  Too bad, I have some frustrations to vent on someone.

9:00pm, August 31, 2011 - Just got a call from 215-383-9747. When I answered, it was dead air. I hung up. I've read the other posts and will take the information provided into consideration, if that number should ever call again.

received a scam call from this number.  how do i get taken off this list? better yet how did they get my number i am bc canada

They just want your credit card number!!!

Got a call from 515-383-9747 at 6:55pm today (Aug 30th, 2011).  Didn't answer- there was a  msg. I checked my ans machine and there was a "hang up" on it.  I'm in Ontario and have no association with anyone from PA.

Repeat:  Complaining on this site will not stop the phone calls or get your money back.  If you are not prepared to do anything, the scam and the phone calls will continue.  It takes very little effort to take action, so do it now.

They called again today while I was on the phone. I ignored the call waiting because it was from a strange area code.

LOLLL thats exactly what happened to me!
FIRST there was dead air..i just waited.

and then it said someone entered your number in zellers, canadian tire, etc contest and if u wanna claim ur prize press 1.

i didnt press it tho.
i knew it was a scam.
ahah.

Same here--I live in Canada and saw the area code for Philadelphia.  Didn't pick up; no message.

just received a call from that number. i was planning on picking it up and just letting them waste some time with dead air, but it was an automated call from cdn tire, zellers, etc. - anyway i was starting to press some random buttons to see if i could find a live person to waste THEIR time (hey, whaddya want i'm on break right now) and when i pressed the number "8" it told me that my phone number has now been removed from their list. just an fyi

Just received this unanswered call.  Since I don't know anyone from PHILADELPHIA, PA, I didn't answer.  This list popped up when I searched for that number in Google.  Cool.

Missed another scam during my search where other businesses offer to give you this phone number owner's name for a fee.  The entire world is out to get you these days!

I wish the attorney's office in Florida all the luck in nailing these guys.  How about house arrest with no air conditioning as a penalty - for a very long time.

No one on when I answered. No one answered when I phoned back. Another nuisance call.

Ignored this call and will continue to do so based on the reports by those who answered it.

Just got a call from this number. Picked up and no one was there. I hate these calls!

They just called a few minutes ago. It was a Pennsylvania number and I live in Canada, didn't want to use long-distance, seeing the other comments here, I'm glad I didn't pick up.

Got a call from this #. I never answered because the # is unknown to me.
