This call has come in several times as a recorded messages purporting to be my last chance at lowering credit card rates.  I pressed 1 to speak to a representative to have my number taken off the calling list.  "Christina" hung up on me mid-sentence.What is the recourse for phone calls like this one?

Caller ID says "Canada Call" (506) 228-4561. Had to press 1 because "we have contacted you numerous times about you credit card balance", and to "press 1 to speak with a rep".  Played along and asked what card they are referring to and name on account, and they hung up.  This same # calls about 2x a week since February 2009. They always disconnect at any question you ask bearing on their operation, or my identity.  They call themselves "Credit Advantage" and they "service Visa and Mastercard".

They had repeatedly tried calling me about lowering credit card rates.I did nothing but hung up!

I have filed 6 complaints over a period of 3 mths and still receive upward of 8/9 calls a day from this number.

We have received several calls from this number and other numbers in the sequence 506-226-456x.  When I tried to return the calls, we get a message that the number(s) aren't assigned (in English and French)... message ends with code 25, whatever that means.

Apparently, this area code is for New Brunswick, Canada (GMT -4 hours)... where we don't know anybody (including legit. businesses).

We have stored these numbers and plan to answer, if convenient, just to waste their time, shame the rep. (about his career choice), and cut down on their calling yield... if we have the free time, we're gonna waste theirs.  If you're like-minded, don't forget to ask for a Supervisor/Manager of the rep... give a little extra adrenaline rush for the rep. (just before he/she hangs up)  ;-)
