This makes at least a dozen times I've been called by (613) 219-1293/">(613) 219-1293 "(613) 219-1293"), which is how it appears on my call display. A callback would seem to indicate the Conservative Party of Canada but I am now suspecting it's a "spoofed" number as I can't imagine the fundraisers calling on Sunday's or after 9 pm as some have indicated the calls where. I've formally had the call traced by the telephone company and am prepared to take legal action, so I'm keeping a log of the calls. Enough is enough.

I got a call, but it was dead when I answered. Thanks to the above poster on the call back, I am a member of the party and they do call me from time to time.

CallerID shows "(613) 219-1293" (including quotation marks) for the name.  I did not recognize the number, so I let the computer answer.  No message was left, but based on reports given here, I have put a block on the number.

nothing -- left to answering machine, no comments.  Called at 3:11pm

(I pick up but the other end is silent)Please ANSWER the first question.I, and many other Canadians who have supported the conservative party, would like to know if this is truly from the conservative party of Canada's fund-raising campaign.If these calls are not legit, then something should be done to deal with this phone spam as it tarnishes the conservative party's reputation(this includes letting us know that these calls do not originate from the conservative party.)If these calls are legit, then something should be done about it as Canadians who support the conservative party do NOT wish to be spammed with daily dead-air calls.I am not the only one receiving dead-air calls from this number.Please ANSWER the questions.PS. Don't 'happily' remove me from your call list as I do wish to support the conservative party, but please do answer the questions.--pfc----------------------------------------------------------------------------Hello,Yes that phone number is legitimate. Unfortunately I cannot answer any further questions without your name and home phone number. Without that information it would be pure speculation as to why you are receiving so many calls.
