Some idiot called and pretended to try and tell us that a family had died in a car accident, multiple times / days. Who is monitoring the use of your phone?

why does it sound longdistance ring .When it is local call

Marketplace ran an episode on this topic on January 11, 2013. Apparently they were able to track down the offenders, something the CRTC is unable to do. I believe it was the first of a 2 part story. Can be viewed online:http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/episodes/2013/01/to-catch-a-telemarketer.html

I knew he was a telemarketer as soon as I heard his voice. I asked him what are you selling and he hung up. I called back goy busy signal 2 times and the 3rd time I got a fax ring.

This is airduct cleaning company

Same here. Someone at this number called me but didn't leave a message. I called it back but no one picked up. Not even an answering machine.

One call on 6 Dec (Windsor, ON) no msg.

I keep slamming the phone down on these jerks but they persist in calling. Today I answered, (forgot to look at phone screen first), said hello twice and then slammed the phone down, loud enough I hope, to annoy as much as I was annoyed.When asked, they say yes they've heard of the National Do Not Call Line. So, why are they still calling me? Even when I hang up on them?
