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

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.

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.

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....

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

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.
