I was stupid enough to agree to book the "Air Duct Service" for an appointment with me to have my air ducts cleaned!!!!!  We agreed on a time that I would be available at home, and they said they would be there at 10am.  On the day they were supposed to show up, 10:15 came around, and still no one had arrived. This was a week day, and I was working from home, but I did not have the whole day to sit around waiting..   I called the number they gave me, and at first someone answered, and advised that they were running a little late, but he said that is why they advise there is a 2 hour window - (they never advised of this on the phone when I booked)..  When 12 noon came around, and still no one had showed up or even called, I called the number again about 20 times and no one even answered!!  I received a call later that day after 1 pm, saying oh sorry I was in a meeting, we can not make it today...  I was so upset!!!   They lost their chance of ever doing business with me again - and I STILL RECEIVE THEIR STUPID ANNOYING CALLS!!!!

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!

try removing your number from the calling lists by telling bell and they'll stop calling

Mike. I am legally blind and have never been able to see my call display. I found a program on the internet called Phone tray and it sends my caller display to my computer screen in nice big letters I can see. Of course you can adjust the fonts to any size you like, and you can choose the colours you like too.

Phone Tray is a free download. Although this company does survive on donations but you are not obligated to do so. I have cable connection for my computer, but needed to get an internal modem. (either net card, they are less then 10 bucks to buy, but getting difficult to find now a days in Southern Ontario) When a caller comes in and I don't know who it is, the program has an option to click on, 'online look up'. This program depends on people like me to supply the first time entry to log into their information. I come here to Who calls me to find that info then give the feedback on Phone Tray.

You can click block caller and send to block list. This part is neat. I can type in who the caller is, or what it pertains to. I then can block them. OR I can ZAP the caller. Which means after the first ring they will get a very annoying sound, which will cause them to hang up immediately due to the irritation. OR you can give them the silent treatment too.  There is a recordings too, NO Telemarketers. Or This number is no longer in service. ETC... ETC... ETC. You pick out the message you like. There are many for you to use.

I have been using this program now for about 4 years and I would never be without it. It is a god send for me and I just love it.  I get the last laugh on these these nuisance calls. Oh and the calls are logged in your block list. You never have to deal with them again because they give up on calling you.  It's no fun for them when they don't get to harass someone like you and me. Sure they could end up calling you from another number they have, but you do the search on Phone Tray's look up, or in here on 'Who Calls Me." and then you put them on block.  Phone Tray can be found on Cnet, Tucows, Downloads.com etc.   I hope this helps you all in winning this battle.

I also got so many annoying calls. As a fact I just got an annoying one with Indian voice. So I called Toronto Breeze mentioned in the previous post, a nice lady picked the phone, and her voice is definitely not the same. Maybe it is not Toronto Breeze?The previous post does make me feel much better, maybe I should accept the offer, and kick their a** too!!!

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
