I am trying to decide if you are sarcastic or not.... keep doing it this way?  they call and do not leave messages, and many report getting dead air ... this is not the way to get donations ... they are not doing their charity any favours by calling 5 times a day just to harrass people by making them run for a phone and then  no one talks to them

I got a cold call from the CF people in the summer looking for donations .. when I answered the phone, I had a polite person explain what they were doing etc., and I told them to send a truck over ... I emptied my basement and garage of items I had been hanging onto for years .... I would deal with them again simply because they had their name on the display;  talked to me when I answered;  were courteous, and have not called me since then, which I assume means that they realise that they should wait about a year to see if I accumulated more unwanted items.  They also provided their business card when they stopped by with their phone number and web site so I can contact them .... this is how you collect items for a charity ... well done CF :)

This number calls me fairly often.  Generally, I don't answer and there has never been a message.  Today I answered, but there was no one on the other end.  Very frustrating!

Is this for real. Hang up then, dont give it another thought. Who cares whos calling you , are you the fbi. Get a life. You spend more time one hear then you would hanging up. I can not belive this. dose it hurt you when people call. lossers!!!

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
