This number has come up on my call display day after day, 2 to 3 times a day for the last 2 months comes up as Brit. Columbia.  I answered last week and it sounded like it was an overseas call, loud air noise.  I kept saying hello then hung up as no one replied.  Tonite the number came up again, so I decided to answer, said hello then canned music came on.  I hung up.  It's becoming really annoying.  I'm not sure what my recourse is. Is there someone to call to complain and if so do they do anything.  This is a reall pain in the butt.

This number has come up on my display several times and only says Brit. Columbia.  I answered this time and he had a very strong accent and asked for Mr or Mrs and then part of my last name.  I told him he had the wrong number and then he asked for the home owner.  We rent and so I told him that the home owner doesn't live at this number, politely told him good by and hung up.  I made a note on my calendar of the number and time in case they phone again.  I pay to have un-known callers blocked and this ticks me off to no end!

Have fun with the *ssholes!  Spoke German and really messed with them. lol

Several calls at dinner time.  Nex time I'm going to answer as the RCMP.

At 12:41 today (Sept 13, 2010) I had a call from (778) 783-1190.  I picked up and said "Hello". After a brief delay a man with deep voice and foreign accent (eastern Europe or middle East) asked to speak to Mrs "[my Surname]" which was odd because my mother is dead and my ex re-married.

I asked who was calling and the purpose of the call. There was another pause, about 5 seconds, during which I heard other voices and music (which I did not recognize) playing in the background.  The caller muttered something I could not understand.  I asked the caller to put someone on the phone who could speak English.  After another pause the caller muttered something again so I picked up my metal coach's whistle, blew into the phone, and hung up.  

I'm on the "Do Not Call" list and use my metal whistle for back-up protection.  I encourage others to get a whistle for this purpose.  :)
