Keep getting the fax machine ringing with the number (416) 924-0280 but the fax will not come through.  This happens once or twice a day.  Now that I know who it is, from reading these posts, I'm glad the fax doesn't accept it.

This caller starts just after 8 am MDT and several times a day.  The latest I have had this number call me has been close to 11 pm MDT.  This calling started a month ago and will not stop.

This caller dials my number 3-4 times a day.  Any sensible person would realize that I am not answering my phone and stop calling. How do I get rid of these nuisance calls?

getting calls from this number...have never subscribed to the Globe and Mail. Usually dead air, sometimes a person. Not answering these calls just means they keep calling back, again and again.

I have a new strategy to handle these nuisance type calls, that seems to be reducing the volume. My new goal is to WASTE THEIR TIME AND SCREW UP THEIR STATISTICS. All of these call centres run on metrics -volume, duration, etc... it is how they get paid! More calls per hour, the more $$$$ of them.  

So, lets slow them down- confuse them - have them put your phone number on their "problem number" list to not call.

It is very easy... when  the phone rings and I see one of these ph numbers on the call display, I pickup the phone and put it down on the whatever is nearby- counter, desk, cushion - then walk away! Let the telemarketers have dead air. In a few minutes, I hear the 'phone off the hook' noise and I hangup the phone.

Alternatively, if I get caught by an unknown telemarketer phone number, I will have a very short  5 sec chat-very nice to them- them ask them to hold on for a moment-be right back- and then put the phone down and walk away.

(416) 924-0280 calls then hangs up. anybody know why they keep hanging up when i answer?

Same phone #.  I answered the phone, but said nothing.  Was waiting for a recording machine but a person was there.At least they spent money to call - and I wouldn't answer !
