Just called this number and decided to find out what they know about me. They must have gotten a list from one of my current service providers as they had my full name and address. I kept the girl on the phone for a while intending to launch into a tirade but she sounded so sweet that I just politely asked her to put me on their do not call list. She gave me a confirmation number and that was it. IV Marketing on behalf of The Toronto Sun.

Got a call from "unknown name" at (416) 646-8801 at 12.01 pm (noon) on Feb 25. No message left.

It's a telemarketing company hired by the Toronto Sun. I've complained to them, and to Allstream (who provides the phone service). To deter telemarketers I've found the best practice is to be as loud, vulgar and ignorant as possible. Make them so disgusted with you that they WANT to never call again. Also, blowing a really loud and shrill whistle into the phone works wonders. I keep one beside my phone at all times.

I picked up the phone and it sounded like some guy pretending to be a woman.  They said "yes, yes you can do it, I know you can"!  I could hear people in the background like it was a call center.  I hung up, and it called right back.  I didn't answer, but when I tried to call the number back it rang, but disconnected.  I think some lame person is crank calling from a call center.  I'd like to find out who, and get that stupid person fired!
