Got the same call.. A gentleman with a West Indian accent. .. I went to the spring bike Show in Mississauga and I apparently filled out a ballot and was chosen to be one of the 30 "finalists".. The background noise was loud and sounded like a complete scam.. He started asking for my wifes name... Told him I wasn't interested and hung up.. Total scam...

I just got a call from 416 584-2444. The guy sounded like he was in a bar. Anyway, some bull crap about me being invited to Collingwood to win a prize. I really could not make head or tails of it. He then wanted an email address. I hung up.

Surely by now the authorities should be doing something about this, no?

REMOVE THIS #

Just got the second call, the first called I had won a vacation and the second call a car WOW! Exciting considering I never entered any draw.  The gentleman was quite upset that I did not want the car!!!

I stayed on the phone to see what these scammers were saying. I've entered & won enough contests to know that this is not the way to go about claiming a prize... especially when they state that only a certain demographic can win... but state I've already won. And that I needed a significant other. And to lie when claiming my "prize".

Scam written all over it.
Dude was like, "you think Best Buy would loan their name out to a scam?" haha.
Kept asking me why I wasn't excited.
Duh, stupid. I Googled this number the first time it came up on my phone & became suspicious when called back the number is "not in service". Again, I've entered enough contests where I get enough lame calls like this to be suspicious.  

Claim to have gotten my name & information from the autoshow. Caller ID shows up with this number, name as "device" & you are unable to call the number back.

Gotta go to Woodbridge for a half hour presentation to a "Comedy Show".

Your information was probably sold from an event you may have attended or taken part in. Last year I ran the Mississauga 10K and later in the summer my wife and I went to Gay Pride in Toronto. In both cases, there were booths set up either to show support for a cause or maybe a draw for a prize at the end of the event. Since then I've been getting calls from people who got my info from both events. The last time I got a call about a month ago I told them that they had been calling me for months and I was not interetsed in anything other than whatI may have given my info for, and to please remove me from their call list. It seems to have worked so far.

Go to pbcinc.ca and you will see what it's all about.  What they're not telling you is that they will try to sell you a membership similar to direct buy in the past.

I went to it. It's for a time share pressure sales presentation and then you participate in a draw. It's a drum packed tighter than sardines of tickets ... Thousands.  I'd estimate 90% is the hotel stay in Florida. Not a trip package just accommodations.  I doubt anyone will see the good prizes of the laptop nor tv etc.  tcg a bad contest and a waste of time.  Oh and you must show up with your significant other and salary income of a certain level.  Bleh.

Yup - it's Feb 21, 2012 and they have new phone numbers:
The Caller ID number I get when they call me is: 905-597-3691
When I asked what the guy's number was, he gave me 289-809-3472 and told me BELL just assigned them that number a week ago.
They are East Indian in accent and I couldn't understand the first guy so I said forget it and hung up.
He called me back !! and I told him I can't understand what he's saying so he put his 'manager' on the line, another East Indian accent but not as heavy.
I kept him on the line for a bit and finally told him I can't make it to their 6175 HWY 7 location.

ive been getting the same calls for the past 3 months.. i did enter a draw at vaughan mills for a mini cooper..the gentleman that called me verified this and went on to say that a woman from barrie had won the car but my name miracously had been drawn for some other prizes..when i told the person on the other end that unless i won the mini cooper i wasnt interested in any other prizes, he became very rude and pushy...he even called me crazy for not wanting to accept a "FREE" prize so i hang up on him and he had the balls to call me again..this time i told him if he called 1 more time i would be reporting the number to the police..im pretty sure they change phone numbers frequently to divert attention..im also 100% sure the sponsors of these draws share and or sell the names on the ballots to other promotors..i will never enter another draw again

This number keeps calling my home number and then my cell on a daily basis. Based on the above posts, I'm not answering!

I got same call and inviting me to same place.  
Looks like time waster 4165842444  & 6474788568  Don't go there its sales people

I just got the call, but did nto answer the phone because the CD was showing a local area code, but I was getting a LD ring, which seems odd so I did not answer.

I got a call on my home phone from this number, but by the time I got to the phone they had hung up.  Glad I missed it since it seems to just be an annoying time share pitch.

I keep getting multiple calls/day on my cell phone from this scam company. They change their caller-ID and I have at least 5 different numbers from them, all are fake numbers. I have filed a complaint with the CRTC.

they keep calling and harrasing me and family about wining lop top to claim it come here and there they seem to know my first and last name we just moved here with the family kind of weired how they know me and my family

SO i just got a call from 4165842444, asking for my bf but the weird thing is that my phone is under my name.  I told them to stop calling cause they had the wrong number if they call again i am going to report it to the police.

They are calling my home phone number and also my cell phone. I don't ever answer if I don't know the number. I did some research and I found this helpful info. Thanks. I hope they stop calling.

The person who called me from that number is with Premium Buyers Club. They want to tell you that you are a finalist of a draw and that you are invited to attend a "show" at which they will give you one of 5 different prizes. You will need to sit through a 90 minute sales presentation. Your prize is a mini vacation but you have to go through a timeshare presentation to get it.

I recieved a call tonight saying i was one of the five finalist to win a prize of eithier a flat screen tv, $1500 cash, a trip to florida or a toshisba laptop. It's a good thing i googled this address cuz it did sound fishy.Im glad i didnt brake my neck to go to woodbridge.

I got a call tonight and the caller I filled a ballot at Hispanic Festival and won five prizes. The caller told me to go to Woodbridge to claim the prize on Saturday with my partner or sppouse.

Just got a call from that number right now!!  I called the number back but for some reason it couldn't go through saying to try the number again..*lol*  thank goodness I lied when the person called and said I wasn't home!!!

Got a call from 416584244 and the story is exactly the same.  I won one of the 4 prices: $1500, flat screen TV, laptop, vacation to Florida.   It was fishy so I googled the number and found out that it was a scam.  Lesson learned do not fill-out a raffle draw in any Festival.

i just received a call from them...same story.  I entered a ballot at the Cabbagetown Festival in Toronto last weekend. I was so excited, what a shame.  

So if it a scam, what do they get out of it...other than my email address and obviously my phone number?

Same story as everyone else, with this number. Just wondering if anyone actually went to try and claim their prize???

I got a 2nd call from this # and fortunately I saw your comments before I spoke to that a***ole. I did not say anything but offered him a Chinese version of "go fxxk yrself" and hung up!

They called me On Tue. Sep.7/11.  Then mentioned the Ballot that I've filled up at a Hispanic Festival during the Labour day weekend.  I remember filling out a ballot, however the contest I filled the ballot for, was to win a brand new car.  This man said that I didn't win the car but that I was one of the winners of other prices, a Flat screen Toshiba TV, money prices etc.  He said that I have to come on Thurs. Sep.8 to their Woodbridge Price Centre located at  6175 hwy#7 unit#6 in Woodbridge.  He mentioned that we have to attend a 45 min session which sounds to me more like a Sales scam.  I said that I couldn't attend, the guy gave me his tel. No. and told me to call him back as he would accommodate a weekend so I can attend with my Husband.  I left it at that.  I won't be calling him for sure.  But I'm curious to know what it is about.  Sounds like one of those Time share Sessions where you have to pay thousands of $'s.

Called but did not leave message. The number was repeated where the caller ID should have been.

keeping call from  416-584-2444, telling me won something,

These guys just called me too! Wow a big prize winner whoopie! Too bad I googled their number before they got very far.
I did however fill out a ballot at Rib fest in Scarborough like they claimed but I knew something  was fishy. Same story as above "we need to verify your information m'aam"
Something should be done about these guys! I have a feeling that they steal the ballot boxes and try to use the names for credit card apps or who know what else! No more ballot boxes for me! Another joy lost to do***e bag criminals. The planet is gettting really over crowded with parasites.
