775-562-0197

Spanish. Won't talk. My area code 860 in CT.

I work for a phone company and thought you should know this info. Never dial any numbers during a call like the one coming from this number. It is or may be a scam take over your line. For those of you who have already dialed 1 or added your number to be removed off their "LIST", check your phone records for any chargeable calls. DO not EVER give credit card info or any other personal information to any type of telemarketing companies.
If you live in Canada I heard Telemarketers have started calling Cell phone numbers because the National Do Not Call List has been leaked. Cell phones do not need to be registered ont ht NDNC list as they are unlisted.

I'm also a T-Mobile user. Same Spanish-language recorded message as others report.

I recived a called from 775-5620197 Feb/06 it was an spanish recording "you are the lucky winner of $500, to claim your prize stay on the line" I hung up, right away! How did they get my number??

Received the call at 7:10pm central time, didn't pick up though.  T-Mobile customer here.

Obviously all of you have more pertinent issues to concern yourselves with. So, here's deal.
IT IS A SCAM!!! Nothing more.
You may even be prompting some negative action that can effect yourselves when you press #1 to be removed from the list.
Just think about it... Why would a scam WANT you to press ANYTHING if it didn't result in SOMETHING? Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Please, please, please program your cell phones or your caller IDs with the people you know. Then, if an unknown number shows up, DON"T ANSWER IT. If it is indeed important the caller will have enough sense to leave a message.
And, I pray that no fraudulent harm comes to anyone.

ive been called 3 times by unknown area codes on my cell phone and i called Bell and if u push 1 or sign up for the do not call list you give up all rights to your information and your number gets sold off to call list. my friend has been geting a least 2 calls a day on her cell phone as well so far all the area codes are located in the states and we're in canada

seems to be connection to hotels.com.  Booked room through them a month ago.  Anyone else?

Area code 647 - they called me 20 minutes ago, didn't answer, no message.

Received a call on my cell phone from this number. no message was left. my area code is 705 (north of Toronto)

Hello everyone, yes I know who because I kept the creeps on the phone for over 55 minutes to find out, but to give you the goods now… it is all about TIMESHARES.

To begin with, the area code is (775) Las Vegas which is only one of several "calling stations" this company uses. As it and the originating company are outside Canada, they do not have to adhere to Canadian laws on call restrictions, even if your on the DO NOT CALL LIST. As a side note, That list is available to anyone who signs in as a company, PERIOD so it is not of much use unless your being called by a Canadian company in Canada.

Secondly, these call centers use computers to make random calls to every available number, those who answer get listed for future badgering, those who don't answer will be called again and again until it is proven to be a number of no consequence. This is not called "sequential dialing" because they are not calling them in order but every number is called.

Next, you hear a recorded voice stating you have just won a trip to Cancun Mexico and if you want to know more Press 1. After a moment, a person comes on and practically says the same exact message but asks if you want to know more. Your response a) Yes - they transfer you to a "boiling room", that is where they put the screws to you. b) No, or any other answer, request such as taking your number off their list or any other remark - they will hang up on you. But don’t think that they wont call back because as far as the computer is concerned, you are still "unqualified" and if you had an attitude, it is far likely that you will get a return call, again and again.

I had said yes this time and was able to keep the boilers on for 55 minutes acting dumb; but I was able to get what I wanted, the host companies. I was directed to the website www.m4sunset.com where he tried to guide me through the site to his location in Cancun. I got Stan (3155) to tell me where the phone number list came from by telling him I didn’t sign up for anything. His reply was that someone else may have entered me in a contest or something and it was my lucky day!

Nevertheless, I dug a little deeper to find out the backbone of this oldie-but-goodie "timeshare scam" is non-other than www.rci.com who have been doing this for years. Let me add that they now have these anonymous Dialer companies who nothing more than an extension of their umbrella corp. They set-up these overnight companies with the sole intention to abuse the numbers that will show on your display. Once the scam has run its course and quotas are filled, the phone number will be discarded and another will be found for the next bullrun.

I was able to pick up a little information from the caller's background as other sellers would scream and cause a ruckus. This to me meant that one sale for her was a bunch of dollars in her pocket.

Even though RCI, Resort Condominiums International, Ltd., keeps their site tidy without the connections to these less scrupulous companies, they are non the less different. In fact, RCI owns and acts out these attacks on persons at home, work and even on cellular phones where we pay the minutes for their pitch.

I believe it is time all telephone marketing stops dead. It is nothing more than phone spam. I cant tell you of a single person who wants it. The government (CRTC) has absolutely no control over it, lest to say they hand out your number to who ever wants it and as usual the little guy just keeps taking it.

I have only one suggestion to anyone here is to www.zeitgeistmovie.com where you will finally see the truth of why companies will always trample on us. One should keep an open mind whilst taking this movie in but also a mind of the future for our children. Jacque Fresco is featured in this film and although he has some brilliant dreams for our children's children, he has no plan to get there. Enjoy.

I got a call at about 5 central time in northern Illinois, 847 area code. I didn't answer this time because I was driving, but I got the same call about 2 weeks ago around noon time...same thing as described here...message in Spanish saying that I won some amount of money, and press "1" to claim my prize. I hung up.

Sorry, but I forgot to give you the number for you to get them to remove your number from their call list... I called 1-800-961-8354 and asked to speak to whomever managed their call listings, after a moment, I was transferred and I requested not to be called again. The man asked for my number and after giving it to him, he assured me that it would be removed.

I'm on AT&T by the way.

Got a little more info for you...
the company who does the badgering (M4Sunset Group) for RCI is reported here...

i read caller id it says its from reno nevada

Like a fool, I entered my cell number into an internet site offering a freebie.  The next day, I start getting nutty calls from freaks, I did not answer the phone.  The moral of the story, don't use your actual number to fill out ANY internet offers and by all means don't answer the phone unless you know who is calling.....

OK, so they can get their numbers blocked, but my cell provider said that I have to pay 4.99 to get the numbers blocked.

if you call at&t like I did they will tell you to call the donotcalllist. I called Att a second time to complain. They told me that I could get smartways for 4.99 per month. They can't do anything, but take our money. I feel so violated. I do not give my number away to just anyone. Nothing is safe anymore! I texted my husband and two kids right away! Of course they're smart enough to not answer the phone. My hubby got rung 2x, he never answered, my daughter called twice as well. She didn't pickup due to be unknown. I picked it up, and called back, but never entered my number. I'm anxious to get an outrageous phone bill.

is a scam offer free vacation ....
