Yet another call...when they will get a point!!!

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.

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.

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

Some nonesence call center saying they could lower our credit card interest rate. When my wife pressed '1' to tell them to REMOVE us from our their call list, they answered - first by coughing (LOL) and then when asked to remove us from their list, they simply hung up.

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.
