Just received a call this morning from this number.  I do NOT answer any calls where the ID is "Blocked", "Unknown", "Unavailable", Anonymous" or "Out Of Area" or I don't recognize the caller ID.  The caller ID on this call was "OTTAWA   ON", no name and then the number.  Since we know people in Ottawa, I called the number back twice and both times I received the, "This Number Is Not In Service". "Please Check The Number and Dial Again"!  From what has been reported here, I see that it s a scam.

Have no idea who this is.  They leave no messages.  Calls at different times of the day.  Would like for them to stop.  We do not answer, but the phone ringing with unwanted calls is annoying.

Call came @ 2:11 PM EDT on 08.14.2009 -- caller ID read OTTAWAHULL, ON, apparently originating in Canada. If I don't recognize the name or number on the caller ID whomever is calling is wasting their time because I don't answer.  I've been on the do not call list since day one but that list means absolutely nothing because it hasn't stopped the calls.

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.

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.  8.12.2009

I reported this to the FCC complaint section which is separate from the Do Not Call Registry.  Coogle FCC Telephone Complaint.  They take this seriously and do follow up.  Register your complaint. There is power in numbers
