I live in Ontario also and there are a couple scams coming from Area code 206. The "You won a cruise" has been a big one. The other that has hit a number of people is where they see if you own a computer because they are calling from "Windows". They try to get you to log on to their site and then keep you on the line. While your computer is connected, they can scan your computers hard drive, picking up info and even leaving a virus behind.
Back to the "You won a cruise" call. When they called last year, I got an operator on the line and asked "what I was going to do with a free cruise when I was terrified of the water?".
