Have received numerous calls from this number.  Last week my wife told them
to stop calling us as we were not interested.  We then received two phone
calls at 4:20 and 4:20 a.m. on Saturday, March 21st with them replaying my
wife telling them not to call us.  This number needs to be investigated and
shut down by the Canadian Government.

It's a scam.  Shows (613) 216-2172 "Ontario" on caller ID.  They are tryomng to get your credit card information.  File an online complaint with the FTC here:

Have received many calls from this number over time. Same comment as other. No one on other end. Probably a computer calling to nail down the most likely time you will be home. Common ploy. I have asked my number to be removed (Very quickly) and have just left the phone off the hook. Today I tried a dial back using my caller ID and got a jumbled bunch of static and not a return number dailing. These people are slimmy. Please help this number get disconnect. If you get calls from other solicitors, ask them where they got you number. Threaten to turn them over to the Federal Trade Commission. That might get their attention

Got the call.  Where am I right now?  In Canada.  Look it up and find it is the same group of people that were calling while in the US.  There are two of thse groups, one out of St Louis and one out of Atlanta.  Atlanta does most of the CC modification calls.  It is a bunch of people who hire the boiler room call centres to make the calls and when they hook you they will give you another 800 number.  The Do not call list will not work, they ignore it, in fact one claim is they down load the list of do not call numbers and now have a complete dialling list and do not need to pay anyone for the numbers.  Cut the cost and we are all feeding their lists.  Further, a Canadian company call pull in the US DNC list and dial away and vice versa for calls into Canada.  The only way you can make this stop is if you call your State Attorney General and file a complaint.  Go to the State website and write an email.  Take the time you would waste answering these endless calls and send an email.  If you did that every time they called, the AGs would get about 3-4000 emails a day.  You think they would do something?  Just to make the emails stop!

Take back your phone, use the systems that has got us all trapped on this hamster wheel.

I keep receiving this call. I called it back and it says the number is disconnected.Ottawa  ON  (613) 216-2172 appears on my caller ID

Today, something about reducing interest on a credit card.  Just hung up to not waste any more of my time.  BTW I do not own a credit card.  Obviously a scam.
