Sample complaints we have found for (613) 216-2172

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.

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

Have received many calls from this number over time. Same comment as other. No one on other end. Probably a computer calling to nail down the most likely time you will be home. Common ploy. I have asked my number to be removed (Very quickly) and have just left the phone off the hook. Today I tried a dial back using my caller ID and got a jumbled bunch of static and not a return number dailing. These people are slimmy. Please help this number get disconnect. If you get calls from other solicitors, ask them where they got you number. Threaten to turn them over to the Federal Trade Commission. That might get their attention

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.

Don't know who this is but tired of them calling and leaving no messages

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.
