I get these calls too..actually everyone in my family got a call within hours of each other. I think they just try random numbers? They are calling from Macau and they will tell you that you've won a trip to macau to see some awards ceremony with Jackie Chan and stuff...haha..and they will provide you with airfare and hotel. I always tell them I'm not interested. And they always start with " do you speak mandarin?". If you say no, they hang up.

I say they try random numbers (or with an auto dialer) because my parents never use their cell phone number to sign up for anything...and our cell phone numbers (4 of them) are one after the other...for example, 604-999-1204, 1214, 1224, 1234...etc etc. I use my numbers to sign up for a lot of things but they never used theres. So...maybe they used an auto dialer. Of course...very possible that companies (like Fido?) sells our numbers too...they can't sell it to Canadian companies but they definitely can sell to US and international companies.
