Received several calls from Ontario, CA (613) 216-2172 with no message.  Called back and no company name was given, so I hung up.  Now I'm charged for two international calls to Ontario, Canada, which totaled over $6 with all the taxes and carrier cost recovery fee.

It's a scam.

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.

This is Anne again - I just filed a complaint with the FTC.

Got the call.  Where am I right now?  In Canada.  Look it up and find it is the same group of people that were calling while in the US.  There are two of thse groups, one out of St Louis and one out of Atlanta.  Atlanta does most of the CC modification calls.  It is a bunch of people who hire the boiler room call centres to make the calls and when they hook you they will give you another 800 number.  The Do not call list will not work, they ignore it, in fact one claim is they down load the list of do not call numbers and now have a complete dialling list and do not need to pay anyone for the numbers.  Cut the cost and we are all feeding their lists.  Further, a Canadian company call pull in the US DNC list and dial away and vice versa for calls into Canada.  The only way you can make this stop is if you call your State Attorney General and file a complaint.  Go to the State website and write an email.  Take the time you would waste answering these endless calls and send an email.  If you did that every time they called, the AGs would get about 3-4000 emails a day.  You think they would do something?  Just to make the emails stop!Take back your phone, use the systems that has got us all trapped on this hamster wheel.

Stop calling me!

looks like whomever this is is at it again.....i didn't answer as i knew it was a call from ontario canada....so i called back and a voicemail greeting says the mailbox is full....whatever....obviously whomever this is is up to no good AGAIN!!
