We got the same call as everyone else, on a LAN line phone number that we never use.  So I knew right away that if either my partner or I filled in a ballot, we would not have used this phone number.

I had fun with the lady making her think I was over th emoon excited... and then I turned on her and gave her piece of my mind and scolded her for scamming people.

I received a call from a 647-855-3650 advising that I won 1 of 5 prizes.  The first one being a 42 inch LCD TV; 2 $1,500.00 cash; 3 1,000 Brick Furniture Card; 4 A 7 day trip to Orland and 5 A 17 inch Toshiba TV. I have to attend a 70 minute seminar at 6175 Highway 7, Unit 6, Woodbridge ON to claim my prize. They said it promoting their wholesale/retail business. I fell for this once before and got caught up in buying timeshare and ended up losing thousands of dollars on the timeshare since I could never get the dates and places they promised I will when I book my holidays from the timeshare I bought.  Be careful and don't fall for this trap.

ive worked at pbc before, its a bigggggggggggggggggg fattttttt scam, they are horrible people do not treat their employess right and the manger a scary ! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! I APOLIGIZE TO ALL THE PPL IVE BOOKED APPOINTMENTS FOR, BIG SCAM YOU WASTE 10 GRAND AND THE BALLOT YOU FILLED OUT WASNT EVEN FOR THE COMPANY, AND ITS NOT INVITATION ONLY EVERYONE IS A WINNER WITH THE SAME CLAIM NUMBER 200, PLEASE DONT GO, AND COLD BUFFET PSHHHHHH, ITS APPLE JUICE N COOKIES !

Hello David,

I also got a call from Premium Buyers Club tonight and invitation topraticipatethe presentation. I was thinking that is another scam. There was a presentation, but not like timeshare we enjoyed and got information about vacation, traveling ,electroinc and furniture. We enjoyed and at the end we got our prize a $5000 furniture voucher. Thank you Premium Buyers club and looking forward to your future promotional offers.

Hello David,

It's not being a fair to say something which you don't know in details.We can not blame or critisized one organization on basis of 1 or 2 incidents .It is a normal human tendency we blame someone if something is not happened according our way.I am really feeling bad for you that particluar incident .But their distribution of prizws and gifts are like that. The employees were great and courteous.

Thanks

Mike Connar

Hi sam,

One day we received a phone call invitation to a 90 minute presentation from Premium Buyers Marketers which we would be able to draw a prize. After listening to the presentation we were astonished because it just seemed to good to be true. However, after further discussion we ended up buying into the membership. From there we participated in the draw and to our surprise and joy we won the gift certificate for $1000.00.

This we plan to spend on our first trip to Mexico.

Thank you Premium Buyers Club.

Me too. I fill out a ballot this June at the Toronto Dragonboat Festival this summer.  When they start to ask me my martial status, I found it odd, so I told her I don't want the prize.  They keep calling me back.

A girl called me from this "PBC company" and gave me the same speech as the posts above. Definitely not going now!

I also filled a ballot for a contest at the Toronto Dragonboat festival this summer...

this is the num they called me yestoday, 647-702-7032  , name is Ashely
I was so frustrated when they called me and told me I won one of four price because I filled on a ballot in this year's Dragon Boat Festival in Center Island.  I remember I did when I went to see the dragon boat festival in June, but it doesn't make sense if the company called you to get the prize and asked you the marital status, she asked me to bring with my husband in order to get the prize. Scam
Don't trust this kind of story.

I just got a call from these people . The woman talked to me over the phone exatly what you have wrote below. scam

Got a call from these people recently too with the same speech about a chance to win 1 of 5 prizes and to come to a seminar in Woodbridge.

They called me from 647-859-3950

Don't go to their sessions !

I went to the session today and won the florida trip, but I didn't want it so they gave me $500 towards any trip I wanted.  I signed up and now I'm scared no one on here has ever actually signed up so this is not helpful.

Hello Victims:

I went there on Saturday 7th July. A guy by the name John called me twice 1st he did not leave a message he called another day I answered and told me about this, I was indeed very skeptical and I was right to be after he told me you will ge ta present anyways regardless. I took the chance and went listen to a 90 minutes presentation on becoming a membership to get many discounts, after a lady by  the name of Sharon, Francine, Steve, Bill spoke with me about it but I did not paid anything as I did not prepared to pay $140 each month for 16 months. After that Agnes took me in a small room I spun a wheel and pull a ticket she look at the list and says oh yo uwin a trip to FL gived me a computerize paper with a CM # whic hhas to send into the Company eve nI looked up the company the # cannot reach them. So people mus tbe careful about these calls from this company. It is all scams my son even looked it up and told me the same after. I only wonder if the Better Business Bureau does not look into such companies who run such businesses? Trying to get suck money out of poor people.
THE TRIP TO FL WAS A 4 NIGHTS IN ORLANDO - 3 NIGHTS AT THE BEACH. Plus $50.00 fee for reservations plus another $25.00 US processing fee all this is (B***S***eee) man..

I just got a call from PCB and it's the same story, I hope the cops catch these people. I am so happy I researched this company on the net. Because I would have gone to Woodbridge and left disgusted. Thank you for posting all the comments, it helped me to become more aware of the scams in Woodbrige.

I got the same call offering one out of five prizes. Thanks to you all. I am not going to the place they called (6175 HWY # 7 Woodbridge) to waste my time. I got a call from 647-852-7051

i also received call from premium buyers club they guys r so good told me the same story and claimed one of these 5 prizes which was $1500 cash...............................Thank u so muchhhhhhhhhhhhh

Thank you all for posting. I just received the same call from Joesph. He  told me to go to address 6175 highway 7 unit 6 woodbridge to claim my prize.My win ticket number was 47854 he asked me the same questions as everyone else if I have a spouse or engaged. After I told him i am engaged, I asked him for the numnber that i can reach him.

He hunged up and told me that I was too difficult to deal with and that he will give my prize to someone else. Lol now I know he is a scam. I should have wasted my time all the way to Woodbridge.

What a scam this is the reason why people don't like foreigners, we should all call back and tell them they won 1 of three prizes...a one way trip back home to stay...a visit from the transvestite orgy group of Ontario or one large flaming bag of elephant poop!!!!!!

P.S Don't believe one word they say. Harass them instead!

I just got off  the phone with "Michael" the manager as well!!  same phone number and address...basically both my husband and I have to show up and we cannot bring our kids!  Apparently we filled out 'ballots' at our local walmart which is a complete lie.  I'm glad I Googled this while I was still on the phone.

Both people I spoke to had very strong accents and could barely understand what the first guy even said to me.

We will definitely NOT be going!

I just got a call asking me to come to the same address, 6175 hwy 7 woodbridge, but they told me the business was called PREMIUM AWARD CENTRE. Also all the same prizes as, listed below.

Managers name was Michael gave me the number 905-674-6174 x 110

I was skeptical because they said I filled out a ballot in Dec and gave my maiden name but I have been married for 5 years, and could not give me a location as to where I filled out this ballot (hundreds of locations!)

Thanks for the information!

Just got a same call from 905-781-5569. Lady's name was Jasmine. They had me going for about 10 minutes...

I just recieved a call from lady named Micheal who spoke with an Indian accent representative of Premium Buyers Direct (PBD) from telephone number 416-584-2444 telling me I filled out a ballad at a show ( I didn't) and had won the same prizes everyone is listing. Also in order to claim my prizes I have to go to the woodbridge office.  The background was so loud I had to make her repeat everything in order to understand what she was trying to tell me.  As soon as she told me I had filled out a ballat and won I know it was fraud.

Hi all,
Thank you for posting these messages.
The caller name was Alex Michael (sic!) pure indian guy ( not that I hold something against anyone, just funny he picked that name) . He said I filled in a ballot at Dixie mall in Dec,told him that I haven't gone to that mall since forever, he changed and said "one mall, anyway" , then all tactics applied as per previous posts. Set up a meeting (which I am not going to attend) for Fri , could not be other than 6 or 8 pm...will also have to go through a 2 hours session...
Called one of my friends after ,she's been through this before...she said that you actually go there, give them your credit card info ,listen to them trying to sell you stuff then win a stupid 3 days trip for which you have to place a deposit amount then the rest they will charge on your credit card, anyway.
So , be aware, it is definitely a scam. Nothing is for free, especially here .

I got the same call from this so called company at about 8.30 pm yesterday offering me a guranteed 1 in 5 prize.

The number used to call me was  647-770-0102. Spoke first to some guy (can't remember his name) and then his supposed manager. Spoke perfect english and sounded pretty much local. They said that I had apparently filled a form at the Scotia bank Buskerfest.  Like an idiot, I did give out my email id!.

They sent me an email from pbc@awardsdivision.com. Theyt gave me a claim number and the address in Woodbridge, which as the rest of the story was exactly the same.

Lucky I googled the firm and found this post. Won't be going. Wonder what legal approaches can be taken against such scammers!

Hey these guys have been calling me for the past four months. I told them I would look them up on the better business beareau and they no you don't have too. So here they just called and I said I don't drive just send me my prize they said no you have to pick it out yourself. I said I can't they said what should we do I said goodbye.
Let see for next month ha ha

Were you there yesterday sat march 24th iwas there at 11am? Did you watch w5 last night? We had Fransine and Steve as well!

Hey I went to the PBC seminar in Woodbridge sat March 24. I won a trip to Flordia.....ya 4 night hotel room that is all you get and you have to pay 25$us and then a sur charge on top of it plus you pay your flight etc. B***s***....so we sat through the seminar...some pretty good actors in there let me tell you! Thank goodness we did not buy into it....the membership was 12000$ I am totally pissed when I got home last night on w5 there was an hour show on PBC re. Scam! I called all the numbers they had called me on and they are all disconnected.....so if you want to go for a free coffee some cheezies and cookies and entertainment go....get their hopes up b***s*** them a bit. Oh plus when we left they had locked the door so that should have been my first clue. Second clue was they said there would be 30 other couples there we were the only ones! So I hope someone has the balls to go and make sure you say hi to Fransine, Steve, for us....bet that won't be there names on Monday.......

Did you watch w5 last night?

More than your time did you watch W5 last night huge scam...I went to the seminar yesterday?
