cALLS ABOUT ONCE A WEEK -LEAVES NO MESSAGE-CALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES IN THE EVENING AND LATE AFTERNOON. HAVE BEEN GETTING THESE ONTARIO CALLS FOR AT LEAST A YEAR NOW

We have received mult. calls from phone #(613) 216-2172. When my husband picks up there is dead silence on the other end. We are listed on the do not call list. This is becoming very annoying. Who ever is doing this...oviously has too much time on their hands.  If they would only redirect this negitive energy to positive energy.... this crazy world we live in would be a much better one!

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:

My parents have received numerous calls from this number and no on eis on the other end.  I call the number back (# on caller id) and it rings busy.  I added my parents number on the "do not call" directory but I believe these people are working from an old list.  Its very irritating.  I am sure the telephone company should be able to do something about this issue.

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.

I am also on the DNC list, but every time I try to get some info to get them stopped, they hang up.

This time, I played along.  The automated message said they were from "Credit Card Services".  When I spoke to a representative, he asked if I wanted to lower my credit card rate.  I told him I did.  He asked if I had over $4000 in credit card debt, I told him I did. (even though I have no credit card debt.)  I was trying to get to the point where he would ask me personal information so I could question him back.  

But then the curious question happened:  "Are you over 70 years old?"
I replied no, thinking a credit card company would be interested in younger people.  With that, he hung up.  

It concerns me that they are targeting older people exclusively.  My grandparents would probably fall for this-
