About a month ago, we started to get multiple calls a day like this. Now that we have received our latest bill from our Toll Free phone provider we have figured out the scam. How does it work, well basically along the path of the phone call, there is a crooked carrier in cahoots with the phone caller.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So we are being forced to pay for calls that were not legitimate calls. Heck, if we do not answer the calls, it even cost us more as they go to voice mail, which makes it a longer call….<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At this point there is no solution to the issue other than to cancel the number. We could reduce the number of calls by blocking US numbers, since that is where most of these come from, though some do come from the USA. The problem is that we also act as the local visitor centre and thus we do get legitimate calls on this number as well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, just want to give you a heads up.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Lee Boyko<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Executive Director<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Sooke Region Museum & Visitor Centre<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>(250) 642-6351 fax 250-642-7089<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>PO Box 774, Sooke, BC V9Z 1H7<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>2070 Phillips Rd, Sooke, BC <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
