Yet another violator of the Do-Not-Call list. Had them already marked-down on my own Do-Not-Pick-Up-The-Phone-List, which I keep next to my phone (with 51 numbers in two months). One of these days the list will go to the CRTC for punitive action.

They WASTE people's time with those bullsh*t calls......

I received several calls from that number. After I found that the area code 604 corresponds to the Vancouver area, I decided to call back. It was a long distance call for me, since I am from Quebec. Their system answers and offers us to have our number removed from the list. Listen carefully and enter your phone number. I did this. It takes 2 business days for it to be effective. Since I just did it, I don't yet know wether it might finally take longer. I hope not!...

Like many people wrote, they never leave a message and even if I answered (for I did, once, hoping to ask that my name be removed from their list), nobody answers. I suppose it takes several seconds for their system of automatic calls to transmit the signal that somebody answered, after what a person finally speaks to you. Therefore, we hang up before anybody speaks to us. As far as I am concerned, since I never spoke to anyone, I don't know wether they are courteous or not... But I sure will be glad when they stop calling!!!...

I've been called two days in a row so far on my cell (which is on the Do-Not-Call list). I did not answer and no one left a message.

Yep, got called twice in 3 days, they just hand up when I answer.

How and who do i call to stop this... Not only do they call my work the call my cell to... So i'm getting from every which way....

Left an abusive message on my answering machine. Actually dropped the f-bomb! Gonna save this for party entertainment purposes. Weirdest suspected telemarketer that's ever called my house.....

This number calls and does not respond to hello. someone stays on the line with speaking.

Strategic CommunicationsA polling company for the non-profit sector. Call the number back and you get a message telling you to leave a message in order to have your number removed from the list and that it will take 5 business days.

Asked for Ivan (wrong first name) but had last name right.  The woman sounded like she had an American accent.  Have no idea what she wanted
