DEFINITELY A BIG SCAM,BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN OR HAVE WON FREE AIR MILES,THEN THE AIR MILES COMPANY WILL AUTOMATICALLY CREDIT IT TO YOUR AIR MILES BALANCE ACCOUNT IF YOU OWN ONE..., BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY DO WHEN YOU HAVE (WON) OR EARNED EXTRA AIR MILES,AS I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE......IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH AIR MILES,THEN WHY WOULD ANY PERSON PHONE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE WON AIR MILES?????????  
GOT TO LAUGH WHEN THEY PHONED US ON APRIL 30,2012 FROM THIS BOGUS NUMBER ALSO --->1-250-665-8989 TO TELL US THAT WE HAVE WON  A LOT OF AIR MILES.  L.O.L.
I WISH ALL THOSE VULTURES WOULD GET A REAL JOB.

Got a call from this number on my company cell, let it go to voicemail and they never left a message. It really disturbs me that there are so many of these scam calls going out all over the place, what happened to having an honest job?

Got the same type of call at work in Belleville,ON

The recording said my name had been entered in a draw at Walmart and I had won a trip to Cancun and to push 1

I pushed 1, another lady asked if i was over 25 (yes) if i had a valid CC(yes) was transfered to another lady in "Cancun" who went on her spiel about what I won...I let her go through it (slow day at work!!!)
and politely told her i wasnt interested. They never asked for a credit card # or anything.

I'm not saying it's legit...and it's definately Unsolicited...but they never actually asked for any personal info from me.

I ended up hanging up at the point when they told me the retail price of the 2 trips (1 was a bonus trip to Orlando) was around $3500 but all I had to pay was $349 per person.  I told her I dont spend that kind of money without talking to my wife. She said she would "see what she could do" and put me on hold... That's when I hung up.

I got the same call today, didnt have to give any CC info to get the promo code...Still hung up.

Airmiles Scam.... the 403 number is disconnected if you call back. These guys are super sketchy!

They tried calling me back with this number: 800-490-7452

This is my post from the 800 #.........

Originally had a call from them 2 days ago from a local (403) number.Automated voice message stating I won 100,000 airmiles points, press 1 to accept. Transferred to a guy asking if I was 25 years old and had a valid credit card. Instantly trasferred to a girl (both barely spoke English) who started a spiel about me accepting an offer, blah,blah. I cut her off stating I was not interested in her Cancun trip but wanted the free points they had offered on the message. I had to keep cutting her off 4 times asking her the legalities of what they were doing, finally she hung up on me. I called the number back minutes later... it was a disconnected number. On a call with AMEX the rep told me airmiles had a warning on their site about not using automated calls and to watch out for scams. I reported the info to the anti-fraud organization here in Canada, they're already looking into it.

2 days later.... just received a follow-up call from 800-490-7452, from the 'Quality Assurance' division asking if the person I spoke with was friendly....... I asked the guy (spoke very good English) where he was calling from, Answered: Cancun, Ocean Spa Resort... I asked him about legalities... all he wanted was to ask , "can I explain the offering to you".... I asked for a number to call him back because I was wary about scams, he told me to just look at my phone because I had call display (how the heck does he know that?), I mentioned I had already reported it to the agency and knew it was a scam... his reply was if it was a scam they wouldn't have a Quaity Assurance Dept. (lmao.... ok legit right? yeahright!) ... he hung up shortly after.

I called the number back, many options to choose, tried a few, they all link back to the same rolling spiel in Spanish and never actually reach anyone.

Beware of these guys!!!!!

'Dear Customer, something something airmiles - ' I hung up after that. Scam.

Got a call saying that I have won 100,000 award miles. I do not own an Air Miles card, nor have I ever put my name in for a draw.

Says I won air miles or some crap... hung up

Just got a call from this number on my cell phone. Said I won 10,000 free air miles points. Called Air Miles directly myself. They are obviously receiving many calls regarding the same thing because their automated message states they never call customers with an automated message stating they have won points
THIS IS A SCAM ~ HANG UP!!!

Just got a call from that number never answered

Called my work land line, a number not given out frequently.  I did not answer.  No message.  Sick to death of this stuff.  It is exactly because of these things that I NEVER (literally) answer my phone(s).  I wait, check the message, and then call back if warranted.  Thanks telemarketers for ruining the invention of the telephone.

I got the same call but saying that I won 100,00o reward points.

got a call july 7, 2011 7:30 pm saying I had won 100000 airmiles press 1 to accept....put me on hold and I hung up after about 30 seconds

If you go to the do not call list page you will find a link to the CRTC complaints page.  I just filed a complaint against the above number.  I would suggest that everyone who is being harassed by this scam do the same.  If the CRTC receives enough complaints they will have no choice but to act on them.

Just got a call from this number saying I won 100,000 Airmiles points, and to press 1 to accept. Hung up.

Stated "Congratulations"  As a Westjet customer I had won 100, 000 airmiles and press 1 for confirmation.  I was put on hold and no one answered.  I hung up after 15 seconds.

Received a call from this number but did not answer the phone.  No message was left but I received calls from this number before.

Got a call from these b****hes today.  It was a missed call, so when I phoned back, the recording said the number was out of service.  Came up as Calgary Alberta on the original call to me.

yes they called me today said your a winner you just won 100,000 airmiles,Another scam from this #.I reported to theCRTC..

Also got call from them saying I won 100000 airmiles.Some guy asked me if I am over 25.When I said yes he started laughing and hung up on me.

I just got a call from this number saying I won 100,000 Air Miles, and to press 1 to confirm. I did nothing and the call disconnected.

Of course they're not giving your number out to scam artists. Like they would give anything away like that for free. They did of course SELL your number to the scam artists. ;-)

403-791-8642 called our direct line to my office.
this is a recorded message, however the recording is poor in that all it says is
"...you have been chosen to receive 100,000 new airmiles, press 1 to accept this offer..." then the phone cuts out if you do not press 1 immediatly.
a call back indicated the telephone number is not in service.
this is one of those marketing/collection agency type using a phoney telehphone number on the call display.
in case you did not know, there is a service that will plug in any telephone number and name, either a persons name or a company name for the call display, to attempt to have you answer the telephone

It looks to me like Telus is selling phone numbers to whoever.There is only two people that know my wifes cell number.How would telemarketers get her number, other than from Telus.We receive many, many harassing calls at all hours on our home number and cells.

So here's the deal directly from westjet's customer service team (I got pissed off and called them to complain):  This is a SCAM, this message is not from WestJet it is in fact a private individual who is using an auto-dialer and a phone book, if you press 1 to indicate you want the prize they will ask you to pay the taxes on the prize with a credit card number.  They will then use your credit card for what ever they choose to...

Now it's Air Canada's 'preferred customers' getting offered free gifts.  Hang up.

Now it's Air Canada's 'preferred customers' getting called.  Hang up.
