A male quacking some hindu-sounding noises for about 10 seconds straight. No clue what he said. I just hung (hanged?) up in mid-sentence.

I thought it was against telemarketing companies to call without identifying themselves.  Dead air is all I keep getting and I refuse to answer another call from these pests.....I get 4 or 5 calls from them a day.  I am going to report them to the CRTC for not practicing fare telephone soliciting practices.Bloody hell, I hate it....STOP

this is worthwhile charity (exempt from do not call lists)  - recycles household goods  got to website  http://www.communitylivingontario.ca

CRTC rules for these people clearly indicates that they are in violation of their rules if they have "unknown" or "private"  as the display ... if they call you and do not display the name of the organisation they are calling on behalf of, you can tell them that you are reporting them to the CRTC and tell them WHY :)  then if enough people report them, they will have to put the name on the display or face a big fine


BUT

You have to take the time to report this ... I do it in an attempt to get this sort of thing rectified ... I have had several fly by night companies call with with no name in the description and saying they are repairing driveways in my neighboughood and would like to give me an estimate ... I told them I was reporting them to the CRTC for violating the rules of cold calling by trying to appear anonymous .. I have not had a call in a couple of months from these morons :)

If I answer the phone when the people calling from this number call again, I will tell them the same thing ... eventually they will stop if they know they face huge fines for disobeying the rules

they called almost everyday around dinner time, my daughter answers the phone and they asked for me...... but does not leave any message....

The only way to not call you is if the company subscribes to the DNC list. So if they don't then you're out of luck.
