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.

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.

It is the Red Cross.  Confirmed Sept 21, 2010, as I answered the call from (604) 998-4002.

I just got a call from this number...it was a rep from dvd now based in vancouver

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

Keep getting calls from this number for the past few weeks once everyday. An automated message was left on my answering machine....it's the NDP Adrian Dixon for Gregor Robertson's campaign.  It's getting pretty frustrating.  Also get a lot of calls from (604) 248-5257.....this one calls at least 2-3 times a day....even more frustrating!

Have received 3 calls fro, this number in last 2 days.  Two calls I was not here, no msg. left.  Had 3rd one a few minutes ago, picked up, but no one spoke from other end, just a buzzing sound.  Thanks for tips that this is some sort of wierd b*****d that should not be allowed to even possess a telephone.  Will not respond to this number again.
