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.

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."

Got three calls from one of the other numbers listed (905) 352-3813) this week and then a call from 1-(905) 327-7829 this morning (Sunday). It was a guy with an thick accent/broken English. He knew the family name in our household & claimed he was calling to offer us better interest rates than our VISA/Mastercard.

I've tried to call both numbers back and the first one said the number wasn't in service. This one went to a "person not avail" w/no voicemail Option.

How do we report these numbers to higher authorities?

Received a call from (905) 327-7829, at around 5:30pm (eastern).  Briefly heard voices on the other end, like you'd hear in a telephone call centre/boiler room.  No one spoke directly to me, although I did say "hello" before there was a click, and the line went silent.  Tried an online reverse phone search on whitepages.  Call came from St. Catherine's-Thorold.  Even had a Google Map showing location (central). Listed as on Bell Mobility network.  Owner's name and address not available via this search method.  Tried a U.S. based reverse cell phone search.  The "free search" gave the same information, but for another $15.00, you are supposed to be able to get a "full report" on the owner's name and location.  Well, I wuz had!! The $15 search told me no more than the free white pages reverse phone search.  Other suggestions for reverse phone searches I found on YouTube include: boardtracker.com, myspace, yourspyingeyes.com.  Type in the full phone number in the search bar.  If no results, try typing in the full number, placing "  " marks around the last 7 digits.  A further aid: try typing in "St. Catherine's-Thorold" after the number, either with or without the area code, "  " marks, etc....
I believe I have some clues as to who may be behind these calls.  I met a strange, large man in Fergus, Ontario, in June of 2008, who claimed to work for Mastercard.  He had been chatting-up my girlfriend for about 3/4 of an hour while we were out at a pub one night with her daughter, listening to music.  When I confronted him, he claimed to have "a job" for my girlfriend, and it included helping him track down $1.5 million in "stolen" money.  He wanted her to do "an investigation" for him.  Uh, huh.
Well, we're broke-up now, and it turns out she's now apparently getting "lots of money" from Mr. Mystery Mastercard man.  For all I know, it was my ex-girlfriend calling me tonight from some telephone boiler room in St. Catherine's!!
If this sounds really twisted, it's because it is!!  I may be really reaching here.  
If anyone reads this message, and successfully identifies the owner of (905) 327-7829, I'd be very interested to know that name.  So would the authorities.
