I received a call on my cell phone from 415-323-4539. I glanced at my caller ID but didn't pay much attention, and since the area code is close to a Toronto area code which I do get calls from, I answered. What I got was a recording saying I had won some prize (but they didn't say who the company or organization was), and to collect my prize, I had to press 1. I immediately hung up, but since I answered, I am still going to be charged for the call. I live just outside Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and this call appears to have originated from Nicasio, California, which means that I'll get a lovely long distance charge for this.
I'd really like to kick the people who do these things.
