Joy, never 'speak' with them, never...that's the hook, your number lives on for yet another sale if you speak or respond to them.NEVER give them your 'number' back, never.  They don't even know which number they called as it's a 'robo' generated list, they don't even do the dialing.Do report to the CRTC - it works.Not so sure about using this 1-+1 888-495-8801, as that's for anti-fraud.Telemarketing calls re not fraud per se.USE the DNC SITE set up for us, if we don't complain how are they to help stop it?https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/plt-cmp-engToll-free: 1-866-580-DNCL (1-+1 866-580-3625)This WILL get them put on notice.It's usually Bell behind the robo calls, likely from all their former customers leaving them in droves - lol likely they'll have huges lists to sell for some time to come, but now it's only American companies (or Canuck shell companies that are hiding their souce - Bell), who are calling Canadians now..Bell was recently fined twice for violating these rules as well as ripping off customers on those 'bundle' contracts.   I was one of those customers that they tried to rip off, I complained via the CRTC and they had to remove my name from the collections - they are like the mafia!Use your right to complain and make it stop or harder.

When I pressed the number to speak to a rep I got on with a male, told him I was tired of their calling.  His response was "So What"  When I pursued he told me again, "So What"  Tried calling back but it was blocked as expected.  Reported it to our local phone company, they gave me the number for ghost busters, 1-+1 888-495-8801.  That is my next move.

why can't these calls stop

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?
