Phonebusters wants to draw attention to what it calls the "press 8 or 9 travel pitch."
  Donna Bell is a detective sergeant at Phonebusters national call centre and she tells us what they've found regarding annoying phone calls received by many in southeastern Manitoba.  These particular calls are where an automated voice tells you to press "9" to redeem a free trip to the Carribean.  She tells us Bell Canada has been assured these are genuine telemarketing business calls and its corporate security department has not received confirmation of any fraudulent activity involving these calls.  Detective Sergeant Bell says pressing "9" will not provide the caller with access to your telephone line.  Bell Canada continues to monitor the situation.
