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?

7:35 pm Tuesday August 11- silent then clicked off

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."

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 got a call too from this number. Getting sick of these things. IF I had time and money I would to St. Catherine's and actually hunt down these people.
This is where the number is located.
Perhaps someone in St Catherine's can phone the Police. It is a attempted fraud from I see.
