telemarketers please make them stop

survey

Got a call on my BC cell from this number this morning. No message, of course. Maybe some of you aren't aware that many of these telemarketers use computer dialing, which just dials numbers numerically:  (604) 681-1111, then (604) 681-1112, (604) 681-1113, in the hopes of getting someone on the line. They don't know who they are calling, so it matters not that your number is unlisted. Also, the Do Not Call registry in Canada ONLY applies to Canadian-based companies. Any company outside of Canada is allowed to call us. Non-profits, political parties and companies you already have an account or do business with are also allowed to call you.

You should never press 9 during a call from an unknown person. It's giving them a free pass to use your line to make long distance call...

received this call on my cell, this absolutely bugs me, as I pay for daytime incoming calls, don't these fu**ers know that the cell phone companies charges the owners (numbers)

Just got a call from this number on my Toronto cell phone. They didn't leave a message. Very annoying considering I'm on the do not call list!

good on you.  I live in BC and got a call from this number but I don't answer calls that are from numbers that I don't know (and therefore haven't put in my contacts list).  seems they left a message for me.  oh joy, huh?
