someone just called from this number 10 minutes ago...I called it back and got a generic male automated voice saying "I'm sorry we are not available to take your call, please leave a message after the tone"

I received this number on my call display.. I wasnt home no message... looked it up and called it.. say no not in service ..same old story..

Calling for weeks now.

Last time I answered they said it was for an opinion survey.  Generally I like answering these when I have the time so I asked "What is the topic?"  At which point they hung up on me.

Look, I might answer your stupid poll if it is a topic I'm interested in, but thanks to your guys hanging up on me you just got put in my blocked calls list.  I just went from "somewhat interested" to "peed off."

I received a call from (416) 493-7703 and the person on the other end of the line told me that they were conducting a "5 minute" survey on the Ottawa recycling program.  I told her sure I would be willing to answer the questions. She then proceeded to rapidly ask me questions that were garbled and not easily understood.  When I questioned her about one of the questions she responded like a robot...I asked if I could speak with her supervisor, did she have a supervisor, as I didn't think she was doing a very good job in asking the questions...this is after being on the phone for approximately 20 minutes for the 5-minute survey. She hung up the phone.Why is a Toronto area code doing a survey for Ottawa and area?  This makes no sense to me.

I receive this call every few days after 6pm, and today (Saturday) it came in early afternoon.

Thankfully I run my own Trixbox (VoIP PBX phone system) and have simply added it to my blacklist, which never rings my extension and sends back the zapteller to the calling end. :-D
