Called me at 10:25 am. My v-mail kicked in and recorded dead air for 8 seconds.

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.

If they are indeed based in Canada -- filing a complaint with the FCC or FTC won't matter, will it??  The U.S. agencies would have absolutely no jurisdiction. I am very annoyed with these calls, as well.

Receive calls from a toll free number and then when called back to check we are charged an international call fee.  We are on the DO NOT CALL list but apparently it doesn't matter to this company.  I usually do not answer unsolicited toll free numbers, but when we receive numerous calls from a particular number I sometimes check to see who they are .  Do not do this as we have been charged international fees on our phone bill.

The call came in - Caller ID had the number and "Ontario".  I listened to the auto message and then pressed 4 to get the live operator.  Got a guy.  He started into his routing when i interupted and asked where they got my nimber.  He replayed that they do not have a list.  I started to then say take the number off the list - "What part of 'We do not have a list' do you not understand?" and then "If you don't want our calls then unplug the phone and shove it up your a**".

Have received numerous calls also.  I called back from my home phone and got a message that the number was disconnected.  Called from my cell and work phones and got a message "I'm a big jerk and I leave erroneous telephone calls with no messages".  He is a big jerk and he does make erroneous telephone calls with no messages.
