She has been calling a lot, almost always leaves a silent message about 10 seconds long. A quick google search shows that this is common. The one time I answered she asked to speak to the lady or man of the house, when I said they were away she said she would call back, and has kept this promise.

I signed up the for the government's do not call list, but I guess it doesn't cover those organizations pretending to be legitimate. A person sounding like a female called and asked "survey questions" about smoking, my workplace, etc. but wouldn't make it clear who the survey was for. Her questions were odd and I didn't feel comfortable giving out any personal information as she was asking for my name, so I didn't.

Over the last month or so I get numerous calls from this J Padilla. Sometimes more than once a day. You would think Telus could just blacklist this number.

I've posted this elsewhere as well, but I'll copy and paste it here too.

Same deal as the other callers above.  I asked who the company was and she mumbled something "Systems" and said they were located on Macleod trail in calgary.
I told her to take me off her list and she refused, I told her to F*** off a few times and ended up calling her a C***.  She also told me to F*** off.  Good times - real professional.  She tried to tell me that because I answered one question, I had to finish the call and she couldn't take me off her list.

I'm getting 3-5 calls a day from this number to my direct line at work... they always call after work hours and leave a blank message.  Did a reverse phone number look up and it says "M Allen" at 913 67 Ave SW Calgary. Tried to call the number back but just get "this number is no longer in use". FRUSTRATING
