The DNC is a list that telemarketers are suppose to update once a month. Once they get the list, they usually have to be manually inputted into they're calling system so the computer doesn't dial your number. But that's the catch: They have to get the list from the CRTC. If they are from a calling center overseas, the CRTC can't monitor or enforce the rules on them. That's why most companies are getting these call centers overseas to do their telemarketing.

All u tell them what i told them. I let them speak there bu***hit and then i told them i'm in appartment 1702 . They should get the message.

How can these pricks get away with this?
I've had six calls in the last week, and I've duly filled out the CRTC's "Do Not Call" complaint form via their website six times ... but I've had to reply or indication that anything is being done.
I'm getting pissed off at the DNC registry too.

These "Duct Cleaners" have been calling me every couple of days for several weeks. I started out very calm and polite. Told them my ducts were just cleaned - they hung up. Told them Asked to be taken off of their call list - they hung up. I'm sure the stories are all the same. Decided to tell them that I am busy at the moment but would like to call them back to discuss - asking them for a company name and phone number - which of course they won't give... they would prefer to call back. They told me the name of the company is "Duct Cleaning Company". haha. Now they swear at me. Good grief.The hang ups were annoying... the filthy language unacceptable. Great business model. I urge everyone to keep them on the line for a few minutes.. ask them what the name of the company is. Ask about pricing... get them to go into detail. Eventually numbers will be cleared from their list.

When these people call about cleaning my ducts I reply that we don't have ducks or geese for that matter.  Usually gets a pause and silence from them.  I will have to try the quacking next time that someone suggested in a previous note.  I thought that was cute.

They have called me many times as well. I've tried the hang up approch, the rude approch, and everytime I try the ~I would like to know more about who they actually are~, they hang up on me. I am hoping they call agin so I can actually have an air duct cleaning service company come to my house........ I'm sure it will get interesting from there. Maybe then I can find out who gave them the tip and help bury these goof balls.
