Telemarketer, supposed to be duct cleaning company.  Very annoying.

Well, the poor guy that just called me got an earful.  2nd call from these guys today, 4th this week - they even called on Easter Monday!  Exactly the same thing happening for us as for everyone else.  Indian sounding accent, unrealistic names.  So annoying!  
I wish there was something we could do that would actually have some effect on this type of thing.  The Do Not Call list sure isn't working.

try removing your number from the calling lists by telling bell and they'll stop callinghttp://support.bell.ca/Home_phone/Phone_line/ ... me_phone_number

They are waiting for an opportune time for you NOT to be at home. That way they can 'case' your home for a possible break-in.

The moral of the story is that if anyone wants some service (lawn repair, duct cleaning etc.) then call a reputable company yourself. "Companies" that phone you up are always disreputable, always have excuses and will always rip you off in one manner or another.

NEVER give your credit card information to anyone or any company you don't know!

Toronto Breeze.    (416) 894-5421 (that’s the REAL number)     Owner:  Ali Tariq

I have been repeatedly (2-3 times a week) called by a tele-marketing firm representing this company to have my air ducts cleaned.

1.  I am on the do not call list.
2.  I do not have any air-ducts.

I have informed the tele-marketer of both of these facts, and asked to be removed from the call list.   The number that appears on caller ID is for a number that is not in service.

On one call I finally decided to pretend I had air-ducts to see where it would lead.  After making the arrangements and being transferred to a supervisor to finalize the appointment, I then informed the 'supervisor' that I in fact had no ducts.   The 'supervisor' then became very agitated, obscene, threatened harm in the form of raping my wife and children, and vowed the calls would never stop.

Throughout all of this, the company that was supposed to do the duct-cleaning was never identified.

On the next call I once again went through the process and arranged to have my non-existent ducts cleaned.  The crew was to arrive at 6:00 on Thursday April 26, 2012.   As an interesting close to the telephone conversation, the tele-marketer 'suddenly' became self-aware that I was on the do-not-call list and feigned his apologies.

At 12:00 (noon) on April 26 2012, a white cube van pulled to the end of the driveway and a man came to my door.   He advised they were here to clean the ducts and when asked why he was 6 hours early he stated they had finished the previous job early.

I asked for a business card or some other identification and he provided me with a business card belonging to 'Toronto Breeze', tel: 416-894-5421.

Now that I knew who to complain about, I showed him the baseboard heater in my front hall and explained that I really, REALLY, did not require any duct cleaning services, and do not appreciate receiving harassing and threatening calls from a call centre that represents them.

They have been reported to the CRTC, BBB, this web site and I will post this info ANYWHERE it might be seen.

My one goal for the next short period is to crush this piece of trash outfit out of business.
