Not for nothing!!! usually for speeding or even better not "fully" stopping at the STOP sign (when there is nobody there to waiti for) - the later statistacly safest stop (for them) they ever do... and if you add fiscal benefit for "force and country" this is just to hard to resist after the Tim Horton heaven expulsion...

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.

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

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.

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.

Got  a call and no message
