I live in Toronto, Canada.
Last night on June 16th at exactly 9:29PM EST I received a call from:
Unknown name
1-770-352-0442
I already knew it must be a telemarketer from the strange number on the call display. I answered the call and she asked for Matthew. She then went on to say she was from Astar Travel in Tampa, Florida. She repeated this several times as if I should be impressed that someone Tampa is calling me.
She then said she received an entry from the email address of "[email protected]" and that "You must remember entering, don't you?"
I cut her off and told her I haven't used that email address in like 8 years. She then sounded annoyed and said something on the lines of "Well you entered". The phone went silent and I quickly said "Regardless, I am not interested." I then waited for her to say something. I then said "Ok?" I realized by this time she cut me off. This is consistant with all the other reports I read here. I am certain she would of went on to say she already has my mastercard number by saying "It beginds with a 5" (All MC's start with a 5..." etc like everyone else has reported.
I don't know what the law is like in Florida, but here all telemarkets can't call after 8:30PM, I would assume if you want to do business in Canada they have to respect our laws too. What I found irritating the most was this was somewhat late at night, and cause she sensed I wouldn't fall for the scam she just cut me off.
This company is as unprofessional as it gets. I suggest nobody do business with them.
