I have told them off they said they wanted my name and where I live they don't know where I live and they cant't do anything about it if you tell them off or tell them to go f*** right off they don't have the authority to call the police if they call you and you swear at them

I've been getting a lot of these (all about interest rate reduction for CC or loans) for the past few weeks. They, of course, have absolutely no authority to negotiate your rates (lender and CC company only do that) .... but I guess these criminals work on the view that you can con none of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, and some of the people some of the time. I just block the number but the pests just switch to another number. I had a 978-570-2313 earlier today (now blocked) and voila, just now a call from (403) 255-8807. I may be filling up my call block list .. but listen up you cretins....I'm a persistent little buggger - I can keep up with all the calls you throw at me. P.S. Dave benefit of cell phone is that you can switch it off easier than running around the house after all the land line extensions. P.P.S. don't waste you time changing your phone number, they use random digit dialing and will soon hunt you down again.

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.

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.

I'm in B.C. 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.An east Indian sounding man answered.said he was in Alberta Canada.and sad he needed to verify who i was.Wanted type of card,exp. date.I stopped answering him.He hung up and called back.This time my call display showed unavailable name and unknown number.I didn't speak, the same mans voice said mister and used my last name.which I didn't give him.He said my name again, and then hung up. My phone than rang again with +1 888-556-5158 as the display.The same man said thank you using my last name again.And waited a moment before hanging up again.No calls since.

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.
