got this call today.  i hung up as soon as they asked if it was true that i pay my balance on time.  

creepy.

We get called several times a day, and have for years. They want to get your credit card or personal data for some scam product or service. If you answer tell them nothing and hang up. Asking to be taken off their list, or threats go nowhere.

Don't waste your time getting frustrated.

They use spoofing software to fake any phone exchange in the world. They use a dialer to call hundreds of numbers at the same time.

These are the morons that should be prosecuted. They say it's great for professional people to protect their identity - but we all know the scum that use these services/software.

These jerks could be anywhere - likely some 3rd world country where no law can reach them. Don't answer and NEVER expect them to stop.

They won't.

i picked up my phone and it said to press 9 so I did then this indian man came on the phone with a lot of background noise and I said I couldn't hear him...then some of his mumbling...then i repeated myself and I could hear some clicking on a keyboard and alot of background noise then he hung up on me!

I am located in Calgary and I received a call on Feb. 5, 2011 from (647) 288-1289. The male caller didnot introduce himself to me, i.e. his name or which company he was working for. I asked him multiple times to tell me who he was and where he was calling from. He was calling to request that I "confirm" my credit card information with him. I told him to remove me from this call list and he hung up on me. I reported the call: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/plt-cmp-eng.

Got a call - the display said 1-(647) 288-1289.Answered, and there was nobody there.  It was an automated system dialing the numbers - so that means sales.I am in the Do Not Call List - so that means a big fine for this company.Except, Bell Canada won't cooperate. No surprise.The government doesn't have the balls to enforce their own laws and rules - no surprise either.

Have call display and answering machine. Did not answer but no message left on answering machine. I am registered on the do not call list and do not answer any calls from numbers I don't recognize.
