Claimed to be calling on "behalf of Visa".  When I asked which brand, he said, "any".

I immediately told him I was on the Do-Not-Call-List, and told him to add me to their internal do-not-call-list.

I just got a call from (905) 327-7829, which went straight to my answering machine.  When I tried to call back, I got "the customer you are trying to reach is not available"  What I dont understand, is how come they cant figure out who this is when they have the phone number.  Obviously, even a pay as you go cell phone has to be activated by someone.  This kind of stuff is rediculous.  Where are they getting the phone numbers anyway?

I received several calls from (905) 327-7829 in the past 24 hours. The first two times I hung up as soon as I heard that tell-tale silence when I answered the phone. The third time I said hello and a guy with a foreign accent asked to speak to Mr. or Mrs. (Correct name). I said "Are you trying to sell me something?" and this time he hung up. They just called back and I was planning on confronting them, having read everyone's comments here, but they hung up. I HATE TELEMARKETERS, and scam artists are the scummiest of them all.

I had the (905) 327-7829 number call me right before the teleglobe call center number called me from (905) 456-0500.I am on the DNCL and have warned teleglobe before. I have filed another complaint against teleglobe on the crtc website.It seems very strange that a call from someone claiming to be from a credit card company, is calling around the same time as teleglobe, who uses previous credit card users names to contact them for 'vacation deals'.Check out rip off reports on teleglobe's history and you will understand more clearly why this is disturbing.Someone has to shut these people down before they take a bunch of money from people who can't afford to lose any right now.I would suggest that any time you get one of these types of calls that you go to the crtc website and file a complaint. It's the only way they will eventually stop. Strength in numbers!

Received a call 14Nov2008 at 10:50 am EST from (905) 327-7829.  Some barely coherent fellow with a thick southern US accent, saying he was calling with regard "to your credit card and the Mastercard and the Visa and the Bank of Canada".  I asked him what the hell he was talking about, and he responded insolently "Oh yeah.  The HELL I'm talking about is..." at which point I knew he was not a professional and had no call center training, and hung up.  After writing this post I will enter the number in the Canadian DNCL complaint file.  From the CRTC web site:  "You can lodge a complaint with the operator of the National DNCL online at http://www.LNNTE-DNCL.gc.ca or by calling 1-866-580-DNCL +1 866-580-3625). One important detail: don?t hang up if you get an unwanted call! To make a complaint you need to provide the name of the organization that called you OR the number where that organization can be reached, the date of the call and your own number. By law, telemarketers must give you their name and number. After you make your complaint, an investigator will follow up and determine if the rules have been broken."
