Anyone ever try to use the "do not call list" report site?  Another waste of Govt money.  If I filled out the form for every bad call I get in a day, Id be filling it out all day...They want a half hour of form-filling to report one of these calls!  I came home from my weekend with no less then 7 of them.   I dont have a cell phone, do these calls happen in the mobile world too?  Maybe its time to ditch my landline.

When I get a message like that I tell them to  hold on while I get my dad. I then keep them on the line by telling them he is on his way.Like to steal as much of their time as they steal of mine.

these are voice activated tele-marketers...if you pick up the phone, and say nothing (stay silent)...after about 4 seconds, the call will automatically disconnect.....if you answer with a "hello" or any voice tone, the computer connects you to the telemarketer.....so now if i don't recognize the number, i answer, but say nothing....there is no human voice at the other end, and if it was a real family emergency, the person would ask..."hello" "hello" "is anyone there".....you got to outsmart them at their game....

I'm in B.C. It was an automated message saying "this is Lisa calling about your credit card. There is no problem, it's just to notify you that your credit card company has now qualified you for a lower interest rate as low as 6%. Press 9 to be connected to a representative.An east Indian sounding man answered.said he was in Alberta Canada.and sad he needed to verify who i was.Wanted type of card,exp. date.I stopped answering him.He hung up and called back.This time my call display showed unavailable name and unknown number.I didn't speak, the same mans voice said mister and used my last name.which I didn't give him.He said my name again, and then hung up. My phone than rang again with +1 888-556-5158 as the display.The same man said thank you using my last name again.And waited a moment before hanging up again.No calls since.
