Call Center from Karachi, Pakistan.....!!!!!

They are still working their scam...

Just received a call today, missed his name, but the prizes were...

1.  $1500 cash
2.  17" Laptop
3.  7 Nights at a resort in Florida
4.  42" TV
5.  Furniture Set (my choice, dining room, living room or bedroom sets..)

They are still using the address 6175 Highway 7 in Woodbridge, and was transferred to the "Senior Manager", a guy named "Shawn David."

The call came in from (905) 597-4557 and they gave me a callback number of (289) 809-3472 Ext. 100.

Had an appointment for Tuesday at 6:00 which I have no intention of showing up for..  They must get enough people showing up to keep at it for so long...

telemarketers keep calling early morning every weekend

Just got a call from them.... called themselves Grand Ontario International at 6175 Highway 7 in Woodbridge, Ontario. Said they were a furniture company, but I had won a $1500 prize, furniture for either the bedroom, living room or dining room, a 42 inch LCD TV, an Alaskin cruise,  or another trip. Hard to hear , phone kept cutting in and out. Total Scam

I got the same call tonight...this time the number was 905-552-2509 and the call back number I was given was 905 754 5163 x112. The Sr. Manager I was apparently talking to was a "Paul Stevens" ..Indian accent and I could also hear the chat in the background. Normally I would hang up the phone after telling them off but I wanted to hear what kind of stuff the were spewing for some reason.

It was the same info as above with the 42' plasma except I swear the "prize money" has gone down to $300 LOL!! Funny thing is the call was for my mom and even though I told them half\way through the rambling that I wasn't who they asked for they kept going on...I acted as if I was her confirming sarcastically that i am married and btwn that vague age bracket 27-65...hope this wasn't a bad thing even though it was done sarcastically...I don't think they understood I was mocking them.

I'm kind of glad I didn't hang up since according to the others they would have just called back. I made an appointment for tmw afternoon which I do not intend to show up for or tell my mom about. The address they are using this time however is 6175 Hwy 7 Unit 6 Woodbridge Ont...major intersection being Hwy 7 and 27 and their new company name is Grand Ontario Corporation...how original! I am supposed to speak with a lady named Linda Gilmore...I swear they find everyone's name, address and phone # in the phone book...along with their "names" too! SCAMMMMM!

Also I tried calling back the number they gave me after googling and finding this thread and tell them I was going to contact the police but of course the number was not in service/busy ..same thing with the number they called from.

I wish I had googled them while on the phone so I could've told them where to shove their prizes. :)

I got the exact same call from a man with an indian accent and the name Nathan Bracken, employee NB229 and using the telephone number 905-754-5192 ext 229.  I was offered the exact same things and told that i filled out a ballot in December 2009 at a best buy or wallmart. I was to go to a location called the Ontario International Centre at 6175 Highway 7, Unit 6 in Woodbridge to claim the prizes and pick one.  I questioned over and over again and got the same speel.  I was told to bring my husband, (did not reveal I had one) and they said i had to bring a man with me cause my ballott was filled out as a couple. (first clue) - ballots are never filled out that way.  I asked him to tell me my address on the ballot, he said i did not put.  (most ballots you put contact info for prizes), anyway he put me through to his Senior Manager to get a prize code i had to use to get in.  Same thick accent, poor connection, almost sounded like same guy with a muffled voice.  At that point, I was bored of their speel, and hung up.  they called back immediately and I ignored.  What a load of crap.  Please don't fall for this.  Seemed possible at first because one does fill out ballots in stores near the holidays and may forget 8 months later.  BE WISE.  Remember that places like Walmart don't have contests in ballot boxes, and Best buys are ususally prizes from the store, not big holidays and money.

I got the same call ? they actually called back a couple of times because they were asking for Mrs. Smith   but I am common law so I always say that she is not here!  Anyway they kept calling me by the wrong name, then they asked the verification questions, one of them being are you over 27 (I am not) he was still willing to move forward (clearly I forgot to put my first name,  proper last name and indicated the wrong age on the ballot!!!)  
Just for the hell of it I stayed on the phone because I was interested to find out how they were going to try to ?get me?. They said the same things ? 1 of 60 winners I had won 1 of 5 prizes... from a 42" Plasma HD TV, to $1500.00 cash in CAD, and 3 variations of trips. I had filled out a ballot around Christmas time ? he said that I would have to go to 6175 highway 7 in Woodbridge to pick my prize ? anyway when the call was escalated and I could tell that they annoying hard sell was coming I ended the call.

I got a call from these folks too - this time it was a guy named "Joe Valentino" (even though he sounded like he had an Asian accent).  Kept me on the phone for nearly 15 minutes, even though I was skeptical early on.  I hate having my time wasted, but I hope my long discussion with them means they'll spend less time preying on others.

Same call, same accent, same spiel..   I like how they give the most western sounding name for the Manager..  And you can hear all the boiler room chat in the background with all the other telemarketers in the room..  I heard shouting a few times...  must have been Hindi for "Fish ON!".

The only difference is I made an appointment for 5:30 tommorrow night..  I only hope I wasted five minutes of their time..

Here were the details.

416-548-5983 x119

I received exactly the same message from a girl with Indian acccent. She asked me several questions one of which is my annual income to confirm if I am the legit person. I told her that I am currently unemployed and she asked if there is anybody, a relative or friend who might be able to pick-up the prize in my behalf (what has being unemployed got to do with claiming my prize???). When I searched for the address she had provided, this result came up. How did these people came up with my phone number, address and name?

They seem to be back

Indian female voice, very poor English informed me that I had won one of 5 prizes when they drew my name form a ballot I had completed at christmas. She connected me to her manager, who did a good broken English sales pitch. Call came in at 8:46 am on Saturday morning, Address to pick up the prize was 1510 Drew Road, Unit 6, Mississauga, Ontario.

This is a scam and does not take a rocket science degree to know.  Needless to say that I told him where he could put his prize!

They're still at it.

I just got a call from 905-241-1023 saying I won a choice of 5 prizes (trips/cash/t.v. etc.) - checked it on-line - thank goodness or I may have fell for it......Sr. Manager name I was given was micheal 416-548-5983 x 147. He said he's going to be calling me back - I'm going to lose it on him when he does...  DON'T LISTEN TO THEM - THEY WANT TO STEAL YOUR $$$$!!!!!! How is anyone expected to believe it when they do win something?!?!? lol...what a world.....

This is the information I have found out;

The product belongs to :  Canadian universal Travel Gallery Inc.

Address:  1510 Drew Road, unit 36
Telephone #  905 672-1059

Contacted them and spoke to a Betty who claims that the companies calling hired by them to sell their product.  They have no way of confirming which company is calling as they have contracted three such companies.  
In our conversation it was apparent that she knows who is contacting everyone as her solution was 'just make the appointment and come to claim your prize', a Sales pitch right in the middle of a complaint!
She also went through the process of what they do...another sales pitch... what did the bi*** not get?!?!?I am not interested.....

Crazy!9052411021 Don't Reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was given the exact same date and I wasn't even in the country at that time!  They told me it could have been someone I know who filled it out for me but my family and friends would NEVER fill out a ballot for me without informing me about it.  This is the second time they've tried this (first in January and now in March). Unbelievable.

Got a call today.  my general manager was William Lee and it is now Fsource International. Same address.

For those wondering where they get our information from and why they know 'so much'.  They truth is they do not know a lot.  With a phone number they get an address.  They use a very general income bracket and a very general age bracket.  They also have a 50/50 shot at guessing if you are married or not.

i also did not like the no kid thing.  No idea if prizes are legit and do understand that you give up 90minutes of time in exchange for prize...which I would do...but not for nothing.  If the prize turns out to be a scam in itself.

I think i will skip this 'grand prize' for a contest i never entered,  

P.S  I have been on teh do not caall list since it came out...getting more calls now than ever before.

These little scam artists are making their rounds tonight. Called said I filled out a ballot in Dec. 09. Never heard of F Source on 1510 Drew Rd. Unit 6 Mississauga, ON L5S 1W2 and was eligible to win one of 5 prizes.  The managers name was Daniel and I would like to know how they got my info.  Crooks!!  Reception was bad like he was calling from a crowded bar.  Daniel called back about 5 minutes later and thought I would check this out online. When he called back I said don't bother calling again or I will consider the call as harrassment and the guy hung up.  Some people have nothing else better to do with their lives.  Get a real job jerk!!  The number on my call display was 905-241-1041  Beware!

They also said their name was Daniel Hopkins and gave me their phone number as 416 548 5983. They said their company was FSI International and against the address was 1510 Drew Rd. All information to consider if you are on the phone with either the first attendant or the "manager."

They almost had me. Until I looked up information about the address as they were on the phone. I'm glad these posts exist. I would have been that idiot who was taken.

I got a call today from 905-241-1029. The number came from an "unknown number". Googled the name of their "company" - "fsource international" while we spoke and of course it wasn't there. The funniest part was their "senior manager" saying that their website was under construction. The "senior manager" had a heavy South Asian accent and gave me fake English first and last names. I asked for a callback number and "Kelsey" gave me 416-548-5983 ext.717, I did call back to check and they are picking up too. This number shows up on google under scam reports

I filled in this form to complain https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/plt-cmp-eng

Also see the thread here on # 905-241-1028. I started it since the number on my Caller ID was different than this but sounds the same with the same addy etc.

My wonderful winning announcement call came today from this 905-number - with a 416-548-5983 to call back the senior manager "Paul Martin" (could they not have picked a more original Canadian name?!?!) As per the others here - it was a 'ballot' I filled in at a grocery store - the prizes are a 42" TV, trip to Alaska, Cash, etc as well, but one different I had Mr Paul Martin stumbling upon is that he claimed my ballot noted me as married (never been) and then he could not offer me a prize without a partner/spouse to take trip. (Very single) and he kept persisting for me to find someone to take with me (hadn't picked a trip!)

Meanwhile - YES!! Thank you for spreading the word and informing - I hope this posting now helps someone else!


PS - what happened to the national DND list??
Stay Safe!

I've got those calls 3 times, always on Sundays. Men with heavy Indian accent gave me the very same address, just the name of Company was Fsource.
I talked to Toronto police  fraud department and they confirm it was a phone fraud. Our phone number is registered with National-do-not call list, but I was told by police officer this National list will not do anything and suggested reporting to Phone busters which I did online.

Must come at 8pm and it should be me and my husband no one else. their address is 1510 Drew road Mississauga corner of Dixie and Barrie Road. These people are of Indian accent. Please be aware and cops please do something about this people.

I got a call today 10/02/10 about the same scam as you have discribe I was telling myself this seem to be a scam. I was going to go to the police before I go to the address because it did sound strange when the person with the Indian accent said only myself and wife no family and children to come to the address.  I said let me go and google the address and I found all these complains about this same scam.  Why haven't the police done anything about this as yet. Thanks for all the info.

9051645028 that's the number they called from stating the same b.s and address today, feb 7, 2010.
This behaviour should be outlawed. I hung up while being transferred to the senior verifying guy... They
promptly called back 3 times in a row while I hid away from the phone. Anyhow I had went out there I wouldbe caused
quite a riot for them to remember, police n all would have to get involved at that point. SCAMMERS!!!!
