airmiles winner in alberta  number 780 974 8989

Got the same call, I pressed 1 and waited on some music for a little bit and then a lady said you need some requirements to accept she asked if I was over 25. The number was 1 (780) 949-8989 though

Got a call but didnt answer, when i called back (blocked my number) machine said phone number is no longer in service

Is this a scam call?  airmiles scam

Keeps calling my husband's, and my cell phones, and does not leave a message.  We do not answer because we do not know the number.  We are both with Rogers.

We should arrange a mass call from internet phones to these phone spammers.

Trish > "how the heck did they get my cell phone number that is unlisted??"

tickedoff > "They had my cell phone number as well.  There should be an investigation to find out how they are doing this."

Figured it out yet?

Called my husband's cell phone today while we were grocery shopping. He didn't answer and they didn't leave a message.

Maybe it's the cell phone companies that are making these "fake" calls so we'll use up our seconds faster.

They are ILLEGALLY using your phone number if you are on the 'Do Not Call List' set up my the federal government (which I am on).  I also reported it to police.

Very good point tickedoff! I just ignored a call from this number on my cell as well. Thanks for the posts everyone!

My girl just got a missed call from this number and tried to phone back and it would not let her, what the f**** with these scam numbers? their all either (604)Vancouver, or (416-905) Toronto & hamilton

just got a call and some idiot came on the line after i pressed 1 not only was he very rude, but wanted information... like if i have a credit card and if im 25 years of age or older.... ended up hanging up...

Just got a call from this number.  Did not answer. Googled it.  Thanks guys.

Got the call in BC. Fortunately I missed it!

I just got a call too. I'm guessing its BS

While everyone here is bugged by these calls, there are those that actually respond and all these scam artist actually entice some of the stupid people. If only one percent of the recipients respond, they they've made their money. Sad isn't it? !!!!
What I usually do with in seconds of knowing it's a scam is hit the pound sign ###### many times and "they say" it screws up their server, phone system or any other equipment they use.
I have no idea if it works, but hey, nothing ventured nothing gained.
I'm tempted to call back, go through their menu and tell them to take a hike (then they'll hang up on me) :)

Just missed a call from this number.  Did not answer call, no message left

I got a call from it on my phone, i pressed 1 to talk to the guy, yelled at him, told him im on the national do not call list, and he can go to jail for harassment, because the only way he can get my number, would be through illegal ways, because it is also unlisted. Told him i could have his company shut down, and that he should go play in traffic. He hung up on me. Lol.

I got this call too. I called back and the message is a not in service from the telephone company. How can these companies set the lines up like that? Weird.

Won airmiles, scam.

They had my cell phone number as well.  There should be an investigation to find out how they are doing this.  The cell phone companies are quick to charge us for every second but when it comes to providing protection from this kind of crap, they are nowwhere to be found.

please stop calling the times colonist newspaper reception line 250-380-5211
this is our third attempt at trying to stop these calls...

Kind of annoying. I keep getting these calls but the caller does not leave a message and when I try to call I get a message that says # is disconnected.

Got one from these guys and didn't answer, but it's not just in BC- I'm in AB

Just got the call on my pay as you go cell phone

just got  a call on my cell phone at work, ~ 12:30 PM, didnt answer.

Went to my cell phone. Did not answer.

Googled this and glad I didn't pick up when they called a couple mins ago.

So tired of the telephone companies telling me that they can do nothing about this telephone scams. This is without a doubt a scam. I even called Airmiles to confirm. So why then does the telephone company allow them to have a phone number? Especially after so many complaints! Boggles my mind.
