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.

just got a call from (604) 988-4002, didn't answer, they didn't leave a message.calgary ab

I got a call from them today.  I called back and the answering machine announced they were Strategic Communications Telefund Raising and Polling Department

Asked for Brenda, office noise in background.
Younger sounding male with trace of an accent.
These people are up to no good.

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

Obviously a multipurpose telemarketing number.  This time for me it left a message from Gregor Robertson's campaign.

Rec'd call a few minutes ago.  I said hello and then the caller started speaking in Mandarin.  I listened for about 10 seconds, not sure if it was a recording, and finally said 'hello? excuse me'.  The caller then spoke in very broken english and said he was conducting some sort of survey and if I had time to take it.  I informed him I did not, and hung up.
