called and hung up as well I called back, rang with 2 quick ringsand then dead line.So I emailed allstreamAllstream email: ?    CustomerServiceResourceTeam @ mtsallstream.comWebsite:              allstream.comListing Details of phone(416) 646-8801Type: Land LineProvider: AllstreamLocation: Toronto, On, ONF.Y.IA telemarketer is continuously calling my residential line. I either get a hang up in my ear or nothing at all and then they hang up.  I have tried to call this number back and ask that they refrain from calling, however it rings twice and hangs up on me, or there is a quick busy signal. Upon looking up this phone number it is listed as a land line supplied by Allstream. If you visit website www.whocallsme.com and  type in this number (416) 646-8801 there is a ton of information regarding the harassment from this number. I ask that you get in touch with your client and remind them of the privacy laws and the harassment laws in this country and that they refrain from contacting my home again. If this is not dealt with I will post your contact information on this blog and direct all of these people to contact you with their issues.  You could probably do without this type of client...it certainly doesn't reflect positively on Allstream.In short I don't want to buy anything so f*** off and stop callingYour co-operation in this matter would be appreciated.Caller ID: 416-646-8801Caller: Unknown Caller

called and hung up

Sadly newspapers are one of the groups who do not have to abide by the do not call list.

They called me yesterday and I said I was not interested in subscribing for Toronto Sun. They called back again today and asked for Mr./Mrs..??? How many times will they call???

Telemarketers make me sick. I would NEVER buy anything over the phone!

When I answered there was no one on the other line for a few seconds. When someone finally got on the line they were calling from The Sun newspaper offering a trial of the newspaper (daily, or once weekly at 25% off).It didn't help their cause when the telemarketer could barely speak.

It's a telemarketing company hired by the Toronto Sun. I've complained to them, and to Allstream (who provides the phone service). To deter telemarketers I've found the best practice is to be as loud, vulgar and ignorant as possible. Make them so disgusted with you that they WANT to never call again. Also, blowing a really loud and shrill whistle into the phone works wonders. I keep one beside my phone at all times.
