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

They are getting the phone numbers from the clients who hire them.   So for example if you are getting calls from someone saying they are from scotia bank then the client is scotia bank.    The client would also have told them what to say and do on the call.   To a call center its a numbers game.   an agent will call 300-400 numbers and maybe get 1-3 sales in a day.   Its the 1-3 sales that count and not the people who hang up or say they aren't interested.   The clients dont care they know people will be ticked off.   The agents just usually laugh and move on to the next number, unless its someone who has morals and quits.   And the reason they are so pushy is because its all hard selling.  They are told if they dont get any sales they lose their job.  So they do everything they can to get a sale.

Repeated calls received from (416) 581-1076. No one speaks on the calls.... Highly irritating

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.
