"(416) 446-0063" <(416) 446-0063>

They just called me now... I answered and a woman said 'hello' I also heard what sounded like a room full of other telemarketers chattering in the background. I said hello back to her and she hung up!

What the point of calling and then hanging up... bunch of dip-s**ts!

Those c***suckers.....made me get off of the couch

If my phone ID displays UNKNOWN NAME or PRIVATE NUMBER ,I never pick up the phone . Why do they have to hide their identities while we showed ours

CRTC rules for these people clearly indicates that they are in violation of their rules if they have "unknown" or "private"  as the display ... if they call you and do not display the name of the organisation they are calling on behalf of, you can tell them that you are reporting them to the CRTC and tell them WHY :)  then if enough people report them, they will have to put the name on the display or face a big fineBUTYou have to take the time to report this ... I do it in an attempt to get this sort of thing rectified ... I have had several fly by night companies call with with no name in the description and saying they are repairing driveways in my neighboughood and would like to give me an estimate ... I told them I was reporting them to the CRTC for violating the rules of cold calling by trying to appear anonymous .. I have not had a call in a couple of months from these morons :)If I answer the phone when the people calling from this number call again, I will tell them the same thing ... eventually they will stop if they know they face huge fines for disobeying the rules

They woke me up second Saturday morning, I had my box prepared since 4 weeks ago, they said would drop by to pick it up and now they call me again for the same reason.

I am trying to decide if you are sarcastic or not.... keep doing it this way?  they call and do not leave messages, and many report getting dead air ... this is not the way to get donations ... they are not doing their charity any favours by calling 5 times a day just to harrass people by making them run for a phone and then  no one talks to themI got a cold call from the CF people in the summer looking for donations .. when I answered the phone, I had a polite person explain what they were doing etc., and I told them to send a truck over ... I emptied my basement and garage of items I had been hanging onto for years .... I would deal with them again simply because they had their name on the display;  talked to me when I answered;  were courteous, and have not called me since then, which I assume means that they realise that they should wait about a year to see if I accumulated more unwanted items.  They also provided their business card when they stopped by with their phone number and web site so I can contact them .... this is how you collect items for a charity ... well done CF :)
