Thumbs down WARNING - Canada Talk Now & Coffee Gift Cards

I just wanted to let everyone about this!!!! I followed a link for a free Tim Hortons gift card posted here and I think there are a few others on here. If you see Canada Talk Now beware I have received 4 phone calls a day from them and their parent company Itracks since my membership was confirmed and they claim "They can't remove your phone number from their database". which I know from a past marketing job all companys under CRTC privacy laws MUST remove you from the database immediately or you have the right to sue for Harassment!

Just so you know....you have been warned!! :?????:

Darn- just did this one this afternoon, used my real #. Maybe when they call I will play dumb- that shouldn't be too far of a stretch for me, since I am for doing this.

That's the catch you have to confirm membership via the phone to receive the gift card.
