A guy called me few minutes ago....sounds like he was covering the mouthpiece of the phone while talking to me...saying I won coz I filled up a form last year....who will remember that???? Last year???......that I have to claim my price at woodbridge....
My instinct says :NO NO NO......

I just got a call five minutes ago from an unknown caller.
His name is Jack Harbor, saying that he is from National Grand Center.
He said we have won one of these 3 prizes,

1. round trip air ticket within the US
2. 3 days 2night hotel


He left a telephone number: (716) 216-3366

He claims I filled out a registration card in a mall between January and April 2013 and that's how they had my name, address and phone number. They also said I marked I made over $50K a year, was married and between the age of 30 and 72. The last two parts are false however.

He asked to confirm the last three bits of information, though I would not. He said he wanted to have his supervisor call me back to then give me the confirmation coupon number which I would then use to redeem my gift. I told him I didn't want anyone calling me so he offered to give me the above phone number so I could call them.

After hanging up I quickly Googled "National Grand Center Phone Call" and found this website with many other people having the same experience between the years of 2007 and 2010. I guess they're still at it though in 2013.

Calls from two numbers on 8/28/2013 approximately 4:00 PM PDT:
716 332-6622;
716 242-3138
Phishing call perhaps from "National Grand Center" offering a travel award similar to the June 16, 2010 post above.
Vague inaccurate information about me and my "spouse," heavily accented (possibly East Indian) initial caller who passed me off to his "Senior Manager" with a very similar accent.
I refused his offer to go to Del Mar, CA to receive my travel prize. When questioned why I told him I thought it sounded like a scam; Clue - prize was for a trip Within the Continental US, then he offered a location NOT in the Continental US as an option. The Senior Manager got annoyed and abruptly hung up. Both calls were from the NY area; first caller stated the main office is in Buffalo, NY.
Too Phishy for me to believe.

Just got the call from 6478741544 and gave me same story.  When I search for 690 Rowntree Dairy Rd, I come to this website.   This time the person speaks very good english and get frustration of me who speak ok english and with hearing loss. I kept asking her to repeat the content as I am confused why I could choose the date to pickup the price and when I got into the draw.

i;m so thankful for all of the responses. I will NOT be going to "woodbridge" to waste my time and money thanks to you all!

Yh i think its scam. Coz i received call from David too on 6th of january 2013. They offer me the same prizes. Its all scam. They called from 1 905-856-1696

just got a strange call from number 49-694-0059. Some guy with a very thick indian accent kept on talking about some internet s*** bla bla couldn't even understand the company name he called from.
I said I cant understand him. then some other guy was on the phone. He asked "do you have Highspeed internet"yes I doo. Alright he said - we re gonna send you an internet box delivered to your door all you have to do is plug it into your router......"  Oh I said-you have my adress ?  "no we dont"
well thats good I said,cause I dont want no fu..ing mysterious  Internet box from whoever you are and then you re gonna steal my data from my computer.  i hung up.
I got some of those strange calls before at the most stupid time in the early morning or late evening. and its always people that really need to learn how to speak english ;)

Newest updates to the scam.  They changed their name now to SuiteLife to the address of 609 Rowntree Dairy ROad Suite 201.  Same tactics of claiming prize during the presentation. Apparently this address is being registered to different vacation business as well as technology and financial management company.  JUst google it and lots pop up for information.  Hope everyone keep updating their newest tactics so nobody will ever fall into these scammers!

I received a call this morning at 9am from a man.  SCAM!

I just received a call from this number and the gentleman with a heavy Indian accent asked me if I was diabetic.  I asked him who he was, he gave me his name and then continued to ask if I was a diabetic.  I just hung up.

9 Sep 2010

I have been getting these calls for 3 years.   I know which store in the Bramalea City Centre Mall that sold my info (it's no longer there)  The company name & address changes every 6-8 months but the SCAM is the same.  I just got another call from "National Grand Centre" on behalf of an airline company.  
*
I have tried hanging up, listening to the whole spiel and getting a confirmation #, asking them to remove my name - nothing works.
*
Now, everytime they call I tell them "You are calling on my business phone.  This call is being recorded by my boss so I can't talk to you now.  Can you call my on my personal phone?"  They always say yes and take down the number I give them.  I give them the phone number to my local police department.

Be aware of a call from John Carlos with National Grand Center in Buffalo, NY asking to verify your personal information...

I just got a call from the National Grand Center. Saying I had won prizes, trip to any where in the US, sponsored by American Airlines and Mariott and $1000 in cash to spend. Thank you for your post. What is the point, they already have my name and phone number

Well, you can keep patronizing this company then.  I had the same horrible call to deal with for 15 minutes while trying to get rid of the heavy accented, incomprehensible rep who called himself Robert Miller.  Number they gave to call back was 716-406-4415 although the call came through as Unknown Number.  The rep quoted company names such as Canadian XXXXXX  Solutions and National Grand (or Grant) Centre.  Naturally, I won't be answering any more calls from them.

i dnt agreed wid yea...as i have got a tour wid dhem nd they were very fine!

I receive a phone call from Canadian Value Solutions saying that i did fill out a ballot sometime ago and i won a trip to Orlando Florida or the Cancun Mexio so i ask them when did i do that and they told it's like 90 day or so but if i did fill out a ballot for something i would remember they said to me that i can come on Saturday either at 12pm or 1:30pm.I think it is a scam they ask me if i had a child and if i have one i cannot bring my child i should find a babysitter that is crazy i was talking to someone then a couple of minutes the person told me to hold on then this person name Daniel came on the ohone and starting talking to me adking a lot of details like my name and address if they have your name already why ask me again and he said to me that i will receive a letter in the mail saying what they are about and what i won i am not stupid i am not going anywhere he also said that me and my huband have to come in by ourselves i am glad i came accross this website i won't be going there nor i won't be taking there calls thank you George you save me from these scammers God bless you.

shame on you....hahahahhahahahahahahha

Anyone else get a call from this jerk -- Mark Roth at 206-309-3520???  If you do please turn the slime into the FTC,  These creeps trying to sell phony schemes while they flaunt the law need to be stopped.

got a call last night. beware these fraudsters have changed they're game again. same lame sell. new company...www.canadianvaluesolutions.com and new location in Vaughan..

I just got the same call from a private number and after I already turned them down! Unfortunately, my wife wasn't aware of the scam and we agreed to show up. Thanks for the info. I won't be showing up after all!

i just got a call five minutes ago.
His name is Daniel Augestine, saying that he is from National Grand Center.
He said we have won one of these 3 prizes,

1. round trip air ticket within the US
2. 3days2night hotel
3. a $300 dinner certificate

The address he gave was
River Pointe Center
500 Lincoln Ave,
Napa, CA 94558

He left a telephone number: (281) 738-1156 Ext: 786
He said once i get there, go to the reception and find Ms. Linda.

He seems to have lots of our information.
I was so stupid that I gave him our names. However we moved out from the address one year ago and i am glad that i didn't tell him.

When i asked him when we filled out the form he couldn't tell. I think this is truly a scam based on the fact that he was using our old address. He must have got it some other places.

Please don't trust them

Yeah man, same thing just happened to me.

Except it was 'Canadian Value Solutions'. The guy was very worried when I started to decline the prize and kept rolling over about it in conversation. I looked up the number, and another person on a website similar to this pointed out that some fellow from 213-709-6918 claiming to be calling from the 'National Grant Center' contacted him.

Yeah. Smells like garbage. Looks like garbage.

They have a website too. www.canadianvaluesolutions.com - And the funniest thing about it, is there is a second 'ghost' site with the same name, but a part of the .net domain. It's ridiculous. It's like they didn't tear it down quick enough.

I bloody hate scammers.

We got a call from an alleged Robert Ford (with a strange, thick accent) just now, gave us the address of their Gifting Center here in Tucson (which happens to be Southwest Travel Club, 4811 E. Grant Rd, Suite # 261, Tucson AZ). I was actually reading this entire page online, knowing all the while that they were scammers, while this Robert guy with a dodgy accent (which did not help trying to decipher what he was saying) was describing our supposed winnings. Apparently, we won 2 adult round trip airfares to anywhere in the US, a Millennium travel (whatever that means, I couldn't understand due to his accent), $150.00 gift certificate for our vehicle and a $30.00 food and beverage gift certificate. He claimed he was the manager of the National Grand Center, then transferred me to some other guy called Sean Reid. Hubby hung up on them the first time. They have tried calling at least 3 times since and have not left any messages. Now, if our winnings were that important to them to keep harassing us about, then they would have left a message. We will not bother going to the address they gave. Plus their phone number came up as "Unknown Unknown" on caller ID. The third time they called, I told them I would call the cops if they continued their harassment. They stopped calling. Bluddy crooks.

That's exactly what my husband did. We got a call from them just now, gave us the address of their Gifting Center here in Tucson (which happens to be Southwest Travel Club, 4811 E. Grant Rd, Suite # 261, Tucson AZ). I was actually reading this entire page online, knowing all the while that they were scammers, while some guy with a dodgy accent (which did not help trying to decipher what he was saying) was describing our supposed winnings etc. He claimed he was the manager of the National Grand Center. Hubby hung up on them the first time. They have tried calling at least 3 times since and have not left any messages. Now, if our winnings were that important to them to keep harassing us about them, then they would have left a message. Bluddy crooks.

I have been to there gifting center what they all want wasour 90 mins and some of our listning time.....
They offerd us some packageswe said theoffers are preety good we will think about it we got our gifts Thank you for selecting me i am really Happy...............:)

2010 02 19 I had that same call with the same details except Woodbridge had become Vaughan and Kevlin insisted I be accompanied by a woman and unless I appeared at the time specified by them, Kevin or Kevlin wouldn't see me.  "That ain't gonna happen", Kevlin retorted.  I threatened them with a visit from the OPP CIB and hung up.  
It  was too bad as I was starting to enjoy the innocent banter, so I made some coffee.

Got a call today from these scammers, claiming to be called'national grand centre', or grant center, couldn't really make out what the guy was saying, as his accent was very thick Indian accent. said his name was David, and was very pushy. I refused to give him any info, and asked for a call back number, as i wanted to look this up... gave the number, 716-406-4415, said they were located in buffalo, ny. it's clearly a scam, as the number that showed up on my caller id was 213-709-6918, which when googled, is a number located in los angeles, CA! Oh, and the best part was that he said they have a location in woodbridge, on, where we can go to pick up our'prize'. oh please, i wasn't born yesterday. spread this around, to help others from falling for their crap.

BINGO!!! Don't know about the phone number but the address matches some of these other close encounters.  Just had a 1/2 hour conversation with one of these guys that promised me one of five lovely prizes....sound familiar?  Think I'll skip the meeting though after reading about them.  Thanks for the 411.
