I have literally been receiving calls from this company at least once a day, sometimes more, for months now. Looking at my call history for the last week I have gotten 10 calls. In 7 days! They are using various 1.800 numbers, often from las Vegas, Washington, or sometimes unknown. Always the same message "due to the recent economic crisis". Since its random numbers, I can't just block them, but it's annoying as hell. I'll add my name to the complaint list now that we seem to know who it is, although I don't suspect it will do much. I'll also urge as many people as I can to do the same.

Got the same telemarketing call on my cell that I do not give out unless necessary (to doctors offices etc.) ?Reported it to the government do not call registry site:  https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng

Same thing.  Get it several times a day.  I have several cell phones, all unlisted and I get the message on every one of them.  I even got it at work through my PBX the other day.  The government needs to investigate this...it is a serious offense.
