i have a good method to use, if i don't know the number i don't pick it up.if it is an important call or someone that knows me they will leave a message.

Where is Canadian law ? What about police? Telephonic companies are turning back. It is a real crime breaking my privacy and molesting every day, or even few times a day, by unwanted calls.

I just got this number calling me today.  I just recently bought something from sears and the person on the other end was spewing some sort of deal to me and when I refused to give info over the phone he said, "oh we already have everything, but we would need to confirm it with you".  I told him no I don't need any deals and hung up.

Uhh, guys? Call the number. Hit 1 for english. Hit 1 again to add to their 'do not call me' list. Put in your 10 digit number.
NO MORE CALLS.
DO SOME WORK. TOOK ME 2 MINUTES!

I get, on average, about 10 calls from this number everyday. On the instances when I answer the call, there is never anybody on the other end of the phone. If I attempt to call it back, the call always gets disconnected without explanation.

I don't know who they are. Perhaps someone else can provide identity for these people, because they are certainly very persistent in their calls.

If you call the number and ask to be taken off their calling list....by a recording....you are asked to give your number to stop the calls in 30 days.....they give your number to other s**t holes and you get the same calls tenfold.....and now i have no why of stoping these calls.
