I called them back on their 866 # from a payphone, so nothing can be tracked or charged back to me.When they answered, I just said I was calling in response to their message, then hung up.I called again a minute later, and started a conversation then just left the phone hanging.Call again, speaking in some made up language.Call again, and I asked the guy how annoying is it to get nuisance phone calls?Repeat until you get bored. It's great fun and it costs them money every time you call.

Anyone in authority. Please help us stop this number leaving annoying automated messages every single day to many different innocent people.

by the way, thanks Jack for your research and info. it helps to know the truth.
also, if anyone can find a photo of this criminal it would be a good thing to post it all over the web...
although now that i think of it, i would not be surprised if someone actually stole Deanna Lynn Natale's identity and is doing all these crimes in her name. Otherwise how else can you explain that the police have not yet arrested her?
if so I petty the real one...

I hate this number because of I am getting 2 times per day for past 3 months.

They've been calling me since boxing day, almost every business day. It's driving me crazy. I used to have a lot of debt, but I consolidated and don't think I owe any mystery debt. They never say who they're calling for, and they never say what company they're calling from. They just say it's a "time sensitive issue", and to call back quoting the case number they give (which isn't the same as the one above in the comments).

I just called and left a message on their voicemail on the 1-866 number asking them to take me off of their calling list. I just left the number they're calling me at, not my name or anything else. If I keep getting calls, I'll be talking to Rogers and seeing if I can get their number blocked.
