Caller: Scotiabank

Had a FREE gift for me. A $5,000 insurance policy. Ya right. Nothing's free.

BTW, sounde like a call centre. Hear all kinds of workers talking in background. IF, - Scotiabank, shame on them. A call centre in operation during the pandemic. Disgusting...

better yet just block the number this is what i do every time i get some of those it take about 10 sec

Just read through all the comments. They just called. I never pick up if I don't recognize the number. I'm registered on the DNC (do not call) list in Canada and still they call. I will be looking to report them to the Canadian DNC agency with is Government and enforces FCC regulations. Maybe they'll be able to shut them up for good.

i have no clue who this person just called and didnt even answer to see who it is wish they stop calling me

If you search the internet you will find a ton  of complaints and blogs on Optima and Call-Net. (416) 581-1076 and (416) 915-7933)I responded by emailing both companies and copying the DO NOT CALL folks and ScotiaBank  info @ the-cma.org and  mail.president @ scotiabank.com. I did give them my name, town, and phone number but obviously will not post that info here. Anonymous probably won't leave you with much credibility so best to own your response! Think of other cool numbers to give the bank instead of your own..Prison...Another telemarketing Company...Chat lines..I made my changes online and it took literally  afew seconds. Have fun! (FYI-The banks don't NEED your home number. They can call you at work during business hours if it's a legitimate concern. Your home number is used primarily to hussle you for other services.)Here is my solution....."You have called my home repeatedly and I understand from a little internet research that you Optima Marketing and the equally annoying Call-Net Communications say that you are making courtesy calls for ScotiaBank.I so appreciate Scotiabank's interest in wasting my time this way that I have contacted Scotiabank's service centre to let them know my home phone number has changed and I have given them my ScotiaBank manager's direct line. I'm sure they will appreciate the courtesy hang-ups just as much as I do.The phone number you are currently calling is now on the CMA Do Not Contact list and you might want to start thinking about honouring it.Cheers!Rachel XXXP.S. I have posted my method of dealing with the likes of you on a number of blogs and reaction seems to be favourable.  I really can't understand why ScotiaBank would employ such a seedy marketing technique but I hope they enjoy the feedback if the internet picks up on the potential for fun times by giving out your employers' direct lines."

Although telemarketing calls annoy me too, I'm still a bit of an advocate of call centres.  My personal experience as a phone rep introduced me to the business world and launched my career.  Not to mention, the industry employs thousands, many of which are students who rely on these jobs to pay for school.

In my previous experience in call centres, I routinely added people to the Do Not Call list.  Telesolicitors are required display a contact # in order to provide you the option.

Simply call the number back, (416) 581-1076, and leave your name and the number where they contacted you and request your number to be added to the do not call list.

If they are routinely calling and hanging up, it might be worthwhile mentioning what happened and when the call occured.  Clearly, it's not in their interest to be more of a nuissance than is inherent to their business.

The challenge I found was getting an irate message from someone who we were calling on a regular basis but they failed to leave the number and therefor could not be removed from our list.

Hope this helps.

Repeated calls.  No one there when I answer.  No voice messages.

This number constantly calls and beeps...no one leaves a message. Who is this Company?!? I do not want that number calling me any more.

Stacks of good information about Optoma at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-(416) 581-1076. read the 9 pages before posting the same thing as everyone else.

This is the company name, number, & president.  I called him and he sounded surprised. Like he didn't know what his company was doing?  The president of the company -- if you want to call it a company -- is Don Macleod.  Should you wish to leave him a message, simply call (416) 581-1236 and when prompted, push 1 for the company directory.  You will be asked to spell his name — last name first followed by hs first name.  6-2-2-5-3-6-3-3-6-6 at which point his voice will greet you.  Leave him the nastiest message you can.  Let him know how much his company and his phone calls irritate you.  When this number is disconnected, find another extension and do it to them too.  If everyone does this eveyday starting today, I am certain it will have some kind of an impact on their company policy with respect to bothering the public.  Tell everyone about this and make sure people are aware that Optima is a nuisance company located in Toronto.
