(778) 329-0296   yea crap callers of dumbdum

whats real fun is the calls are for people who used to live in the house before you, and then the debt collection dumbas*'s phone your number since the address is the one for the former deadbeats.

Got a call from the (778) 329-0347 number and they were looking for some other person.  After I told the lady on the phone that nobody by that name lives at this address, nor have they in the last 10 years since I've been at this address, she typed something into her computer, and then she asked if this was the (Insert my last name) Residence to which it was, but I responded "No" and then told her I was busy and hung up!  - How the hell did they know my last name - when I wasn't the one they were calling bout!!!!

In my case (and apparently many others here) the call did not go into a queue, it just hangs up after repeating the 'important business matter' message 2-3 times. The system you helped set up is busted. Hopefully they fix that crap - I can't believe it's legal at all to make automated calls like this.

FYI regarding the do-not-call list I don't think it will stop calls like this, since they are calling for bill collection, not sales.

These calls are referred to as "cold calls" in the collection industry and they are usually the last known number that is associated with the debtor to whom they are looking.  This Agency collects for all the major Banks, credit card company etc and they are EXTREMELLY aggressive!  They should identify themselves and advise you of the nature of their calls and when it's confirmed that the party to whom they seek is clearly not at this number - THEN they should POLITELY delete your number!  However, such is not the case, they appear to be quite vindictive regardless that you are not the person they seek and they then add your phone number to their "automated" computer list and it calls everyday with that stupid - We Have An Important Financial... blah, blah, blah-- message.  It's just plan harassment and Telus should be held accountable to clients that abuse the system with this unprofessional conduct.  They should be disconnected and black listed.

LOL deal with it answer say wrg number veriy number and request to have removed or live with the calls
answer seems obvious
