They called my land-line at 09:59 Pacific.

I picked-up the telephone, and said nothing.
After a few seconds of silence, I hear a "hello".

I said "hello, thank you for calling our company. We provide pay-by-the-minute language translation service.  To continue, I will require your VISA or MasterCard number".

After a few seconds, the telemarketer hung-up(!) on me.

about once or twice a week . this number comes up on our telephone ..

they never leave a message and it says it is coming from Manitoba ..

its starting to bug us . thanks...

we live in Surrey BC .

Just called,  No pick up.  Makes me mad.

have been getting calls from 204 numbers... pick up but no one answers just hangs up immediately , very frustrating

I get this number calling once a week.

I get calls from these a***oles too.  No answer...just silence and then hang up.   What's amazing is that they can get away with this annoying b***s***.  You can call Ma Bell and explain what's going on but Bell gives a s***.  The "do not call" lists give a s***.  If you see this number come up on your "call display" and you happen to have an air horn next to your phone, one that gives about a 120 decibel blast.  Or...an emergency whistle is also a good "answering system" for calls like this.   'Nuff said.
