Sample complaints we have found for (613) 216-2172

I get calls from this number 3 different times a day, every day. I finally decided to answer and it was a 60 second recorded messages stating that interest rates on my credit cards are set to increase tomorrow and if I want to lock in a low interest rate, I need to speak to customer service. So I did, I pressed 6 to find out who it was that was calling and to get more general info as to what type of scam they are trying to run. After pressing 6, it connected me to a live "Card Services" agent who asked which cards I would like to lock in low interest rates and the card numbers. My first and only question was "which bank are you calling from?" The guy paused for about 7-10 seconds (I could still hear his breathing and other background noise), and then hung up on me.
Short of having the FBI trace calls connecting to my number, I doubt reporting a complaint with the FTC will do anything since most likely, the (613) 216-2172 number is faked using some sort of Spoofing (see spoofcard.com). The best thing I can think of to do is have everyone ANSWER the call and have everyone connect to the Card Services Agent and then hang up. If no one answers and connects to the service rep, he/she wont be bothered. BUT if EVERYONE connected the call WE would then be the ones WASTING these a-holes time, effort and money. The goal is to increase their operating overhead while wasting their time, frustrating them out of business. What would you do if the thousands of potential customers you were seeking suddenly all returned your call, flooding your system with junk leads and phone hang-ups? Think about it -- it makes total sense.

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.

Received several calls from Ontario, CA (613) 216-2172 with no message. Called back and no company name was given, so I hung up. Now I'm charged for two international calls to Ontario, Canada, which totaled over $6 with all the taxes and carrier cost recovery fee.
It's a scam.
