had the dead-air sound of an auto-dial confirming its got an live line. it  hung up right after

I live in BC & "Lisa" calls EVERY DAY on my UNLISTED phone number!!!!Once, out of curiosity, I pressed 9 and asked the "representative" to STOP calling this number.Guess what???? They keep calling and I wish there was a way to make them stop.

dont bother ditching your landline...same crap diff. pile on cellular.

I agree they are not from Canada.  I gave the idiot the info belo and he took it all in....I told this idiot on the other end my name was Adolf Obama. Address 469 Tahrir Square, Vancouver, Nova Scotia. G1Q 1Q9.  The number I gave him??? You guessed it, (403) 255-8807.  Hook line bait and sinker, he took it all into his computer. Lovely.  Keep these idiots on the line and waste their time and effort.  Don't get mad or angry, look at it as entertainment. God speed and good luck with what is ahead folks!

Got  a call and no message

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....
