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.

Didn't leave a message here either...(even a blank - that new form of telephone harassment) A sure mark of a scam or a telemarketer.

Not for nothing!!! usually for speeding or even better not "fully" stopping at the STOP sign (when there is nobody there to waiti for) - the later statistacly safest stop (for them) they ever do... and if you add fiscal benefit for "force and country" this is just to hard to resist after the Tim Horton heaven expulsion...

Do not want to be bothered with credit calls from telemarketers or any other telemarketers

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?
