The automated call leaves Me a message saying that impending legal action against me can be resolved if I act quickly, otherwise I'll have to appear in an ontario court.

To represent themselves as a Law Office is a significant breach of, guess what...The Law. So, the Law Society of Ontario should be looking at this and should be subjecting the caller(s) to the usual tests before:1. Asking the phone companies to close their accounts (which I can only hope are in the private name(s) of the individual(s) involved.2. Obtain an order preventing them from carrying out this kind of activity or any phone or internet-related, non-opt-in, attempt to infringe on the privacy of Canadian citizens.3.Cause them to repay any and all communications or other charges incurred by victims of their calling campaign, including regular cell phone charges.4. Should a practicing lawyer have lent his or her name and professional designation to the effort (for example, a collection agency), determine whether the effort is, in any fashion, in breach of Canada's privacy laws.  This would include both the collection and dissemination of information gathered via this or other campaigns and acquired databases.5. If found to be allowable under the law, require this agency to identify itself and provide out-out options and confirmation of same on both its call facility and its website.

Thank you everyone for the helpful information. Its great to know people are watching out for each other. Stay safe!

I've recently rented a suite that came with a new phone line. Since arriving, this phone # calls at least once a day. Today I picked up and held down the zero key on my keypad. I could hear two guys in the background laughing and saying "she must be pissed off". Then they disconnected the call, and called back three more times where the same thing occurred.

I've now registered with the Do Not Call registry: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/cofi-fico-eng.

Hopefully that makes these knobs leave me alone. They don't want me, they want the last owner of the phone # I've sadly been assigned.

WOW, DO YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF
MANY THANKS TO YOU, FOR HELPING MANY MORE OF US SLEEP A LITTLE BETTER TONIGHT KNOWING ALL YOU HAVE SAID.

I think it is about time that people who have been called from this number to sue or file a court case about this Natalie person from a law firm of shady character, fraudster perhaps?  This person/persons must be stopped!
