Yet another call...when they will get a point!!!

I have been getting these calls as well.  I am also on the National Do Not Call List and I have an unlisted number.  We are in Newfoundland and I have had this number call my house on a number of different occasions.  Won't leave a message.  I just refuse to answer this now.  They called at 10:00am on a Saturday morning.

Kevin,As much as I'd like to see these companies go down and get charged by the police, I think it's unfair to blame the cops on this one.  These scammers register these phone numbers under false names and addresses so tracking them down would be next to impossible.I suppose the only other thing one might do is what someone already suggested (and I don't remember exactly who right now) and contact the provider of the telephone number (which can be found on many reverse-lookup sites, even if there is no owner information) and say that you're getting harassing/scam calls from this number.  Might not hurt to file a police report before you do this so you can give the telephone company the report number for their file.  If they get enough complaints about any given number, they can cancel it.Although, I'm sure that these scammers have a dozen numbers set up, so losing one won't be a big deal.  The problem is just SO big, where does one start?

Contact your phone provider, many will block numbers for you.

I'm in Ottawa. 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." there was no mention of which company which screamed scam so I hung up. I tried calling the number back to see if it was blocked for incoming calls or if it would connect to a company. Turns out that identical automated message qualifying people for the lower rate is also on the incoming line. It went directly to the automated message with still no acknowledgment of any company.

Some guy with an east indian accent called to inform me that he wanted to lower my interest rate. I asked where he was calling from. Arizona, he said.  I informed him that I was on the no-call list. he hung up.
