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.

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

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

This is some company that wants to sell you credit card fee reduction services.  I asked them to remove my number from their calling list, stupid b*tch just hung up on me.  Next time - get a police whistle or freon air horn, when they call and you get a live person let them have it!

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.

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.
