Calls from this number are annoying. They do not answer and would hang up when one answers. Maybe they are Criminals calling to find out if anyone is home.
they need to be investigated.

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

Calls and then hangs up repeatedly

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?

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.

Hello, I am in charge of management for Air Force Duct Cleaning and recently we had customers complaining about phone calls from RUDE and ANNOYING individuals masking under our company name (Air Force Duct Cleaning).We do NOT conduct any telemarketing services and it is very sad and unethical behavior on a part of whoever is making these calls claiming to be our representative. Please beware that anyone calling from (905) 416-9688 or Private Number and offering duct cleaning services non-stop is a scam! If you happen to come across this situation let us know, our company telephone number is 416?841?9698.A smart consumer is an educated consumer.
