they've called every day several times, for about a week. now that i know its some company and not just some prick who just feels like calling 3 times a day, ill try and stop them from calling me. these posts have helped, thanks to everyone who commented about this

Called today - talked to Jacqueline who informed me that I WOULD be taken off the call list

Whether it happens or not remains to be seen......

Just spoke to Jen, Employee#8602 at (519) 624-8809 4:20pm 10Mar2008 to notify her than an investigation from the Consumer Protection Branch of the Ontario Government was underway of Dr. Green Lawn Care.  She indicated that my number would be removed by 5 pm today and she would speak to one of her managers about looking into the automated Sales Calls made by their computer systems.  I advised her that I have been receiving an escalating number of calls from their company with no human operator on the other end.  Previously I was receiving 2-3 calls per day - today I have already received 6 calls between 8am and 4pm.  It is clear that they are in the midst of a massive marketing campaign to earn business for the Spring season and have an overzealous marketing arm.  I also advised Jen that should the phone calls continue, I would also launch a formal complaint against their company and perhaps embroil them in a very expensive legal case of telephonic harassment.

Thats not dr. Green lawn care, its weedman

Just finished speaking to Jen(2nd Jen at the Company), Employee#7738 at 1-877-DR-GREEN (1-+1 877-374-7336), head office in Mississauga (3120 Wharton Way, Mississauga, Ontario, L4X-2C1) after receiving two telephone calls this morning from (519) 618-1100 after reassurance there would be a moratorium on telemarketing calls to my home after 5 pm yesterday.  See my previous post from yesterday.I advised her that there was widespread discussion over the Internet and thought given to launching a Class-action complaint through the Better Business Bureau, Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services (see previous post with a hyperlink to http://www.ccts-cprst.ca ), as well as the Consumer Protection Branch of the Government of Ontario, Ontario Ombudsman, etc. as well as consideration of enforcement through legal means (ie. legal action) against Dr. Green Lawn Care.I have already filed a complaint with the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services with the following reply:"Thank you. Your incident tracking number is: 99010100004233. Please record and retain this number for future reference. The complaint process begins the next business day after we receive and analyze your complaint."I recorded the conversation and also advised Jen that I was doing so (very much like their standard intro message preceding my dialogue to Jen stating that my conversation was being recorded by them)I gave her my first name and telephone number. She informed me that she would be speaking to her Manager immediately and calling the Cambridge Office to ensure I do not receive any further calls.  I asked who her manager was and she replied it was Patricia but hesitated to give me her last name when I asked for it. She then checked with her Manager to see if it was OK to give her last name and after checking, informed me that her Office Manager's last name was SOBEL (ie. Patricia Sobel).  I also asked for the President/CEO of the company and was advised that her name was Lorraine van Aastrecht (spelled for me by Jen).  I asked Jen if she needed the employee number of the other Jen, she declined and said there were only 2 Jens in the company.Here is more information on this company:http://800notes.com/articles/News.aspx/9H3qdckOjQDusAjKSBp--AI have already signed up with the following Do Not Call service  through the CMA (Canadian Marketing Association) which ought to be valid till Sep 2008 when Bell apparently handles the watered down Do Not Call Registry (since they lease lines/800 services to these companies and Telemarketing is revenue for them; it's even more farcical that they charge end-users for blocking this service - perhaps they ought to be legally challenged for charging for this service which is their creation - sounds like conflict of interest - kind of like a doctor owning a Pharmacy and telling patients they need this or that medicine to be purchased only at their Pharmacy)You may remove yourself from mail/fax/tel call lists from member organizations that are a part of the Canadian Marketing Association:http://www.reddotcampaign.ca/I am sure that many others are not a part of this organization since Phone Lists can be harvested with web crawlers and PhoneCDs that are readily available in the marketplace.Good luck to the rest of you.  Hopefully you will follow my own example of proactively creating an auditable paper trail (in a public forum like this) of your experiences.  You can create a lot of paperwork for an unethical company by lodging formal complaints and then letting lawyers handle the "evidence".  Many lawyers would gladly work pro bono if they realized that they would go after a company and shut it down with a well-orchestrated class-action suit.

This number calls 2-3 times EVERY day.  Most times we ignore it but even if we answer, there's no response from there end.

I suspect there's more to this than a simple telemarketing scam.
