This guy sounded like he had an Indian accent.  Claimed he was from "The Debt Company". When I remarked that that was a very vague name he said, "I know sir, the company's name is confusing but that is the name of the company." I then allowed him to do his bit for a while and he mentioned that "his company was in the area doing a survey of mortgage payments" and he had noticed that we had made our last couple of months worth of payments on time and that he had an offer to improve our interest rate.  I knew when I picked up the phone that it was a scammer and I love playing with these jokers.  I informed him that I was on the National Do Not Call List and to take me off the list.  He asked me why. We argued for a bit and then I asked him for a manager and he said that he was the manager (how convenient). I then asked for his phone number. The one he probably pulled off of the list was a 416 exchange. I then asked for the company name.  He had trouble remembering that and eventually came up with "The Debt Company"  I asked for his name, "My name?" he said "My name is uh... Gary"  I followed with "And your last name is.." "Uhm... uh Nelson"  A traditional Indian name I suspect.  I asked him where he lived and he said BC then started to wonder why I was asking so many questions.  I then told him about the National Do Not Call List and that I needed this information so that I could file a proper complaint with the CRTC (Canadian FCC) for violation of the NDNC list. He said he wasn't in violation. I asked if he was a charity or if we had done business together before.  He said yes.  I asked which one; charity or business he replied with "I don't understand". I then asked if he was a telemarketer. He said yes. I read him the telemarketers requirements from the web page and then repeated. Are you a telemarketer. He said yes. I asked if he had a copy of the numbers on the DoNot Call list.  He said no then changed his mind and claimed that he was not a telemarketer.  I proceeded to argue with him for a while longer until he finally gave up and hung up.

I am on the do not call list and I keep getting a call from the number.  It is on my cell phone which is a private number and I do not give it out to anyone so I have no idea how they got my number.  When I answer it there is no one there.

The calling card logic doesn't make any sense. Unless you live in Greater Toronto, why would you have a calling card where you will have to pay long distance? I have one to call family in the States but I use a 1800 one so THEY don't have to pay long distance.

Suprisingly enough, I have never been called by these idiots, and I actually have a 416 number... Thank God for that though, that I've never been called.

I've gotten a few calls from some Indian a**hole (named "Gary" would you believe).  The scam was he wanted to give me a cheap mortgage and all I had to do was give him all my banking info, SIN # and so on.  The first time my wife answered she laughed and told him to suck eggs.  I wasn't as nice.  I'm listed with the CRTC no call list, so I rarely get calls now but this is different...some sort of scammer.  Time to start answering with the air horn again.  Maybe if he's deaf, he won't be able to call cause he can't hear the replies.

i get call from this number everyday, sometimes 10 to 15 calls each day but  do not pick it up. can some one tell me where the call is comming from??

Online pharmacy wanting me to 'refill a prescription'. ?When I informed them that this was my work number and I wished to be removed from his list, he hung up.
