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

(905) 416-9688...that AIR DUCT CLEANING company keeps harassing us.  We don't even have air ducts, yet they are very rude and ignorant and call back at least 2-3 times a week.

The company name is not important because it is nearly always fake. This time they called themselves "GTA Home Services" AND THEIR REAL CALL-BACK NUMBER IS (905) 214-7405. This number really works, but they usually only answer after the second time you call. The first time they will not answer and the phone will eventually stop ringing.

Their call display number is a fake number used to hide their real identity. They are usually always offering "Air Duct Cleaning Services" with a 40%-60% discount because they are "in your area" (that's about $100 cash for a 2,500 sq. ft. home). Their offer is unrealistically low and if you do hire them, they are likely to send technicians to blow air around while scoping out your rooms to see if there is anything worth stealing. A proper cleaning should cost about $250-$300.

I have been getting these calls for years, usually more than once a week. I gave up asking them to put me on a do-not-call list because they don't care. Nearly all of the callers have thick South-Asian accents but use very American-sounding names (which they will swear are the names their parents gave them). The call display number is always fake and always changes -- so blocking the number through your phone company will only work as long as they keep using the same fake number on the display.

When you ask them for their company name, phone number, address, or web site, all of them will be fake. They usually direct you to a fake web site or another company's web site. They usually use a generic company name or the real name of another company who's never heard of them and does not use telemarketing. In fact, I don't know of any serious air duct cleaning company who does use telemarketing to sell their business.

I usually ask for a company address and Google it while I have them on the phone. It only takes a few minutes to realize that the address either doesn't exist or belongs to a subway station, UPS store, etc. Then I ask for a call-back number and call that number while they are on the phone to verify its authenticity. Usually the number is fake, but this time the caller (who first called himself "Mac" and then changed his name to "Naveed") gave me a second number which actually worked (but only after I was asked to call the number a second time) -- which seems very suspicious. Naveed then passed me on to his supervisor who gave me a different company name and when I asked to verify his address, he hung up.

I called the call-back number -- (905) 214-7405 -- and spoke to "Andy Marshall" (another South-Asian) who claimed he was a supervisor and promised to put me on their internal do-not-call list. He said that he works out of a house in Mississauga with 25 other people, but the address he gave me was fake (it belongs to a hospital). He also said his manager's -- "Joseph Anderson" -- was "in a meeting" and couldn't be bothered. He said that he knew about the national do-not-call list and didn't care because his company was trying to tell people about their promotion and thus said the do-not-call list did not apply to him. He said that he's been with the company for 2 years, but also said that the company has only been around around since January 2012 (only 3 months).

Finally, when you ask them, all of these callers will claim that this is the first time they have ever called you, and then try to explain that there are a lot of other air duct cleaning companies in the area and that you're just mixing them up with one of their competitors -- who evidently also hire South-Asians with American-sounding names, reading from the same script and offering deep discounts on air duct cleaning while feeding with you a lot of fake names, phone numbers and addresses. That is quite a coincidence isn't it?

I get calls again from these people. They call 3 times a week and havent stopped despite me filing a complaint with the CRTC and registering with the national do not call service. I finally got a number to call them back at 2 months ago and got hold of their "security officer" who said we would no longer get calls.....well that lasted for only 1 month and they are calling again .....this time from a different number.I think they are calling from over seas and not from within Canada because they can mask their number as you can never call it back. VERY ANNOYING!!!I ask them nicely to not call.....they never give you a callback number and they are east indian or have strong accents...also annoying...no offence to anyone.I suggest everyone to call their local phone company and put a block on their number..or dont answer if you see their number on your display. The cost is like 5-10 dollars a month but well worth it

Air duct cleaning call them back 416 800 07 98 and have fun with them

They keep calling, last one was Friday the 13th at 9:00pm.
Believe you me, if I find out where they are located it definetely will be bad luck for them.
They call and then hang up, no message of course.
Oh well, I guess the scum of the earth have nothing else to do but disturb the good people.
If this is a Duct cleaning company, they need to clean up their own act.
