Call on caller ID called it back, got a bill for a call to Ottawahull, On

i didn't answer the call.  It appeared they left a message, but when
I went to listen to my messages, there was nothing.  just a blank.

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...

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.

File a complaint with the FCC Online here:  http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm  These people should be shut down because they use automated machines and do not allow you to tell them to stop.  Their mailbox is "full."

I got a call from (613) 216-2172 and is was a recording with Congressman Steve Austria having a town meeting with his constituents...I put it on the speaker phone and listened to this garbage......He went on and on and on and on and finally I just hung up.  Too bad  a congressman has to call the US from a Canadian number......
