I have now had two calls from this number.

I keep getting an annoying automated sales message from these people. When I call to get my number off the list, it only releives me for a few months... this is the third time I deal with it and I am getting very annoyed. When I call the operator, they say nothing can be done. When I call my cell phone company, they say the number can not be blocked because they are not on the same provider. I have no other options. What am I to do?
How is this allowed, and why can I not do anything... so pissed off!!!

I've recently received a Sears Card and am now subsequently getting calls as well with nobody answering the greeting. This will stop one way or another or another - this you can trust. We have extraneous reasons why these calls are of particular distress for us - I won't burnden you with them.Though you ought to know - it is not Sears. Sears to me are excellent and one of my favourite partners to deal with, but they have sold their credit card business to Citi Financial. I believe the harrassing company, Canada Premier Life Insurance, to be a partner of Citi's. Thus far, I've sent a letter to Sears outlining the situation and also providing a link to this site. I've requested they protect their deservedly good reputation by correcting their partner's behaviour which is initiated by dealings with Sears and facilitated by Sears chossing their partners.I have achieved results by contacting Sears in the past and swear by them as my family's partner. I will monitor the situation. Thanks all for sharing your information.Good Luck,Mike

I received calls from this number on average of 3x per day!  I see that others have complained.  Surely something can be done about this invasion of privacy!

I checked the government web sites, and found info on what the telemarketing companies are allowed, and what we can do to have it stopped. The web site is
http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/INFO_SHT/t1022.htm. The CTRC is the organization responsible for regulating these guys. There is some useful information here, unfortunately it will still take up to 30 days to get them to stop calling you (via 1-+1 866-449-4430). Good Luck!

I am not pleased.  The harassment from this company is annoying, and must end.  I am going to file a formal complaint with Sears, in the hopes that if enough of us voice displeasure over this that they will reconsider sharing our phone numbers with this company.  Oh, and of course my new Sears card is about to be sliced into bits and mailed to them with the complaint.
