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

Got a similar call again today on my unlisted cell#. They left no message.  No Caller ID either.  Such attention is UNwanted!

they never leave a message...or when you answer the call nobody talk at the other end..

They call every day for weeks now, usually between 8 and 9 pm. Most annoying that they call after my son is in bed, causing him to awaken sometimes, asking "who's calling?".
I have registered with the Canadian Marketing Association on a do-not-call list, and that has stopped Bell Canada from incessantly calling me. Now if only everyone would refer to the CMA's do-not-call list.
To register with the CMA's do-not-call list, go to http://www.the-cma.org/?WCE=C=47|K=224217

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

Although telemarketing calls annoy me too, I'm still a bit of an advocate of call centres.  My personal experience as a phone rep introduced me to the business world and launched my career.  Not to mention, the industry employs thousands, many of which are students who rely on these jobs to pay for school.

In my previous experience in call centres, I routinely added people to the Do Not Call list.  Telesolicitors are required display a contact # in order to provide you the option.

Simply call the number back, (416) 581-1076, and leave your name and the number where they contacted you and request your number to be added to the do not call list.

If they are routinely calling and hanging up, it might be worthwhile mentioning what happened and when the call occured.  Clearly, it's not in their interest to be more of a nuissance than is inherent to their business.

The challenge I found was getting an irate message from someone who we were calling on a regular basis but they failed to leave the number and therefor could not be removed from our list.

Hope this helps.

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
