514-261-3346

1) Got an unsollicited SMS on my cellphone, from  514-261-3346, urging me to call  514-788-5500 to claim a cheque that I won for some reason or another... Duh! Free money! Right!

2) I decided to investigate, using a bullet-proof calling source: Skype, using a non-dedicated phone number.
So I called  514-788-5500, where I got a recorded message saying: "(?)... your call because you are using a confidential number. For more information, call the following toll-free number: 1-888-985-2233

3) Using Skype, I called 1-888-985-2233, where I reached the automated, bilingual ( French/English) switchboard of Voxtel where I was offered to route my call depending on my quest, namely about a phone encounter, an internet encounter, or a problem with a phone bill...

At that stage, I did not pursue the matter. I surely smelled a rat early in that sequence.

Just got a french sms from the same number detailing the same thing. Most likely a scam

same message here and to call at same number 514-788-5500 and for chq # 1095 and tex came from phone number 514-296-8460

i want to break his neak to that scammer

I got the same message...the scam is probably that everytime you call there's a 2$ fee (it confirms this in the actual message) and it gets you nowhere. Imagine all the people who call in one day alone...$$$ for the scammer.
