Just got a call from these bozos. Shows up as ONTARIO and the number (613) 216-2172.

Since we've been getting these daily I finally presses 6 to talk to someone. Apparently we qualify for a credit card rate reduction.

When I asked from which bank they were calling, they hung up.

This one doesn't pass the smell test.

I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know, I am also on the "Do Not Call' list.

When the phone rang, at 7:45 PM EDT today, I got a recorded message telling me about President Obama's mortgage assistance plan, and telling me if I wanted and was eligible for Federal Assistance, press "1"The woman who answered the phone had a faint Indian (or similar) accent.  She immediately started into her copy on "would you like to save money on your mortgage?"  When I asked why the US Federal Government would be using a phone number in Ontario CA, she said "I get that a lot.  Why do you say that?  I am in Sunny Southern California!"  I told her that Caller ID had given her away.I then asked which agency she represented.  She said it was "National Mortgage" but was not affiliated with the US Government.  I asked "so this is a private firm?"  "Yes, sir, it is."  I then informed her I am on the National Do Not Call list and did not want to be... well, called again, but at that point, she said "Have a nice day sir" and hung up on me.They call again, I will try to get an address.  Then my lawyer will be talking to them.  He's good.  And a violation of the DNC is a fine of up to $1000 per call, I do believe...

Caller ID says Unknown Name, I called back and it says message box full.  No idea who it is.

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.

I won't answer if the Caller ID reads "Unavailable," and I don't recognize the area code.  No message left.
