Received a call from this # 3 times in less then an hour and no VM was left either.

This is a phone scam. A robotic voice will ask you to confirm that you are the winner of 100,000 air miles by pressing 1. Attempts to calls the number back yield the following message: "the number you have dialed is not in service".

"Congratulations!  You have won $3000 Travel Dollars!"  F'ing retards should go earn some real money, not scamming and stealing from some unfortunate guy.

Anybody know of any way to send a high-powered EMP pulse through the phone?

IM in alberta and they called my work number i just hung up - same as everyone else 2600 in travel dollars

Claiming to represent Canadian Tire, because I am a valued Canadian Tire client I have won $3000.00 travel dollars, press 1 to accept the prize. Well pushing 1 gets you linked to a scuzzy telemarketer who asks you questions about your age and income. You tell them you are on the National Do Not call list, they tell you the list doesn't exist and they disconnect you.

I have reported this to Canadian Tire, and they are not running any such promotion, and shall be looking into it from there end.

Called about 5 mins ago, did not answer these a-holes.

caller said "as a valued customer of Canadian Tire" ... you have won $3000 travel..... dial 1 to collect...

Received calls from this number on 3 of our company phones and finally answered the 4th one.  When I asked to have our numbers he hung up after the first 5.  So I reported them to telemarketers  do not call assoc.

Calls to my cell and then no response.  Never listened long enough to see if it was a computer generated call.  Don't know where they got my number!

The number is bogus.  Its called "spoofing" and it's designed to fool people into answering what would appear to be a legitimate phone number.  

This isn't a scam as much as it is "harvesting" of legitimate phone numbers.  You are dialed by a computer that, once a real "off-hook" (you pick up) state is detected, your number is flagged as "valid" and can be correlated with an address then sold to whoever is paying.  This is a way of defeating no-call lists, and can be quite lucrative for the harvester / seller.

The best way to deal with this type of event is to not answer calls from numbers you don't recognize.  If you do answer, there is little else you can do but expect a rash of telephone solicitation of one sort or another, likely from several different numbers.

Same here got the call on my cell, bunch of douches anyways

Looks like they are back at it. Cdn tire winnings this time. Brutal and a waste of cell minutes

the number was 250-930-9988

This number called my cell phone and an hour later called my landline.  When I called back I got a recording, this call cannot be completed as dialed please hang up and try again.  SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE

Telemarketers beware.  Me no work , so me can't givit da monies.

just got, asked me if I have credit card, I said no, he said "have a good day,bye"

Called my cell - how did they get my number?
Caller: 250-930-9988
Msg: "Hello, Thank you for being a valued Canadian Tire customer, you've won 3000 bonus points.  To accept, press (1)."   Called Can-Tire - wasn't them.

am receiving calls from this number that offer travel miles. Same message and voice as another number. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM. They are changing phone numbers as time goes on; DO NOT REPLY!!

Appears to be scammers, something about travel miles.  Don't answer.

Calls repeatedly to my cell phone. Haven't answered it yet and don't plan on it, but keep getting blank voice mails.

Got a call saying that my # showed up on their caller ID but wouldnt tell me who or what they are

I won some money too!! I sent an e-mail to the bank telling them I had won 2,600 dollars and I wanted to apply it to my morgage, I told them that in order it get the money they would have to phone #250 930 9988.

Danno...love your response..need to call BMO today. Same message left on Dec 8th, ugh! I'm not even in the same province for crying out loud! LOL

i want to sue them, they cll all the time& when ever they want!!!!

called my cell phone. Srsly who calls a cell phone with this type of scam?

not sure who it is calling me

Call my cell and woke me up about an hour ago...didn't answer.

"You won 3000 points. Press 1 to receive them now." is approximately what they said to me.

SCAM! Do not waste your time.

"Hello... for being a valued customer, you've won 3000 bonus points.  To accept, press (1)."

Hmm... I think hanging up and NOT pressing (1) was a wiser idea. :)
