I'm in Ottawa. 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." there was no mention of which company which screamed scam so I hung up. I tried calling the number back to see if it was blocked for incoming calls or if it would connect to a company. Turns out that identical automated message qualifying people for the lower rate is also on the incoming line. It went directly to the automated message with still no acknowledgment of any company.

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?

I did a reverse number lookup and of course the company is unknown. However it is a Telus number and I am going to contact them and complain that this customer is harrassing me.  Hope it works.

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!
