Caller: Scotiabank

Had a FREE gift for me. A $5,000 insurance policy. Ya right. Nothing's free.

BTW, sounde like a call centre. Hear all kinds of workers talking in background. IF, - Scotiabank, shame on them. A call centre in operation during the pandemic. Disgusting...

better yet just block the number this is what i do every time i get some of those it take about 10 sec

Just read through all the comments. They just called. I never pick up if I don't recognize the number. I'm registered on the DNC (do not call) list in Canada and still they call. I will be looking to report them to the Canadian DNC agency with is Government and enforces FCC regulations. Maybe they'll be able to shut them up for good.

i have no clue who this person just called and didnt even answer to see who it is wish they stop calling me

Grow up! You don't get what you want by calling them up and swearing. That's the sort of thing a little kid would do! I'm assuming most of you are adults! Just call the company and tell them that you do not wish to be called again. Find out WHY they are calling in the first place and tell them they are not interested. It's much easier for them to handle your complaints if you just relax and be polite.

I understand that you must be furious! I mean, someone you don't know calling you, not leaving a message, not answering when you say hello. I get calls from this caller too! I don't like it, but I intend on dealing with it more matureley than some of you!

Also, I just read the post above which has a link to the do not call list, which sounds like a great idea! Thank you for sharing that with us Norm!

Calls everyday and doesnt leave a message. I have never answered their calls as I didnt recognize the area code. I just reported them to the government

If you search the internet you will find a ton  of complaints and blogs on Optima and Call-Net. (416) 581-1076 and (416) 915-7933)I responded by emailing both companies and copying the DO NOT CALL folks and ScotiaBank  info @ the-cma.org and  mail.president @ scotiabank.com. I did give them my name, town, and phone number but obviously will not post that info here. Anonymous probably won't leave you with much credibility so best to own your response! Think of other cool numbers to give the bank instead of your own..Prison...Another telemarketing Company...Chat lines..I made my changes online and it took literally  afew seconds. Have fun! (FYI-The banks don't NEED your home number. They can call you at work during business hours if it's a legitimate concern. Your home number is used primarily to hussle you for other services.)Here is my solution....."You have called my home repeatedly and I understand from a little internet research that you Optima Marketing and the equally annoying Call-Net Communications say that you are making courtesy calls for ScotiaBank.I so appreciate Scotiabank's interest in wasting my time this way that I have contacted Scotiabank's service centre to let them know my home phone number has changed and I have given them my ScotiaBank manager's direct line. I'm sure they will appreciate the courtesy hang-ups just as much as I do.The phone number you are currently calling is now on the CMA Do Not Contact list and you might want to start thinking about honouring it.Cheers!Rachel XXXP.S. I have posted my method of dealing with the likes of you on a number of blogs and reaction seems to be favourable.  I really can't understand why ScotiaBank would employ such a seedy marketing technique but I hope they enjoy the feedback if the internet picks up on the potential for fun times by giving out your employers' direct lines."

Why I hate having a cell, reason #1. People who I dont want to talk to calling me, or numbers I dont recognize. Like, dammit, Im not PAYING to talk to someone I dont know. Im not PAYING to be bitched at or whatever they are calling for. Damn, and they call me like twice a day. Can we kill someone, is it legal, if they keep annoying us like this? If this was like Survivor, theyd be voted off the island by now.

I was also getting the calls from (416) 581-1076 at our business number. I came accross this website and decided to call Optima Communications. I dialed "0" for the operator, and kindly requested to be removed from their marketing list. The receptionist was very kind and said she would have our number removed from their database. There are many people on this website voicing their frustration. But really it is wasted energy. Call Optima and ask to be removed from their list....Of course let's see if I keep getting the calls, and how much longer.....Have a great day,Angie

Repeated call from Optima international in french. try to call back and request to be taken off their list. no way to speak to anyone or to leave a message
