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.

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?

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