Stupid Pricks keep calling. I monitor my bills religiously and I know I don't owe anything to anybody.

Getting fed up with (778) 329-0679 calling my home!!  It just beeps when you pick it up and they keep calling, several times in a row.  We don't owe anyone anything & am guessing this is an annoying telemarketer - how do I get these idiots to stop calling me???  Maybe I should use Telus Call Block???

Yeah, I used to work at CBV Collections as a System/Network Admin. That number was used by the Automatic dialler we used, which I helped setup. Law states that you can either block your number (which most people don't answer on), or you have to use a number that you own - but it doesn't necessarily have to be one that you use, or is connnected. As for why you'd get the 'Please stay on the line', it's because a certain amount of agents are allocated on the dialler, and if they're all on in a call, or otherwise occupied, the callee was placed into a queue.

(778) 329-0347 keeps calling my cell, usually early afternoon.I pick up and it is dead.I call the number and there is no answer.Anyone know who owns this number so I can opt off their list??

I finally waited on the line to talk to someone, and it was indeed a credit collection agency.  I politely explained that we'd had this number for 3 1/2 years and that the person they were looking for doesn't live here.  (This was last week.)

Since then I've received a call from them at least once a day, but when I pick up to remind them to leave me alone, I get automatically put on hold (like before), but then the line disconnects every time before I get routed to someone!

This is CBV for sure! No doubt. The law regarding collections states clearly these a**les collectors have no legal right to harass in such a manner. I had calls once 16 times in 2 days from both #'s listed on here and refuse to even  answer as I know what they are and what they want. I am not even the person they are looking for and I told them this 3 x. Everytime they get a newbie on the phones they put them to work to show their quota to their d****ead boss showing them that they actually make calls to harass people. Some system when they say they remove you and they dont. I just ignore these dorks  now. Let them waste all that time chasing the wrong guy! lol.( I wonder what they actullay tell people they do for a living by the way) What a bunch of jokers! I just cant believe people do this crap for a living. I realize people have to do it but a more civil method must be available then this bs.
