This one didn't leave a message when my machine picked up.I rarely receive these calls, but if I accidentally answer a number I don't know, the calls start up again very frequently. They probably sell 'time of day & use' information to others.Weird thing is: my land-line corded phone rarely shows names or numbers, while for the same call my cordless landline sometimes shows half the info or unknown name- unknown number, while my 'on TV display' will show a name or phone number  that the phones don't. ..So if I don't memorize what was flashed on my TV, I can't even track it. I try to ALWAYS screen. And tell anyone I give my number to, to leave a message. I wait to recognize the caller before picking up.

It IS fraud.

1-(403) 255-8807 CREDIT SERVICES are spamming Nova Scotia again. BLOCK or don't answer Formerly 701-625-5003 & 312-878-9652 Same Scam in Halifax Nova Scotia. US Based FRAUDSTERS. Hung up when I asked the guys name. Complaint filed with CRTC National DO NOT CALL LIST. Number is in Alberta, but the Fraudsters are in the US, I suspect still in Dakota, which I have the entire STATE blocked, due to no agreement between US and CAN Do Not Call Lists.

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?

October 01 2011 same message Lisa - offering to lower credit cards rates.  New racket in town - again, and again and again.  Extremely annoying on Saturday afternoon especially when she repeats it 3-4 times.I do not even have a bloody credit card

Recieved a call asking me to "be connected to a representative" if I pressed 1. They said that their name was Lisa and that "my credit card company" was going to qualify me for 6% interest rate. It was an automatic recording and I hung up. They didn't say who my credit card company was. Thanks.
