I keep receiving this call. I called it back and it says the number is disconnected.
Ottawa  ON  (613) 216-2172 appears on my caller ID

When the phone rang, at 7:45 PM EDT today, I got a recorded message telling me about President Obama's mortgage assistance plan, and telling me if I wanted and was eligible for Federal Assistance, press "1"The woman who answered the phone had a faint Indian (or similar) accent.  She immediately started into her copy on "would you like to save money on your mortgage?"  When I asked why the US Federal Government would be using a phone number in Ontario CA, she said "I get that a lot.  Why do you say that?  I am in Sunny Southern California!"  I told her that Caller ID had given her away.I then asked which agency she represented.  She said it was "National Mortgage" but was not affiliated with the US Government.  I asked "so this is a private firm?"  "Yes, sir, it is."  I then informed her I am on the National Do Not Call list and did not want to be... well, called again, but at that point, she said "Have a nice day sir" and hung up on me.They call again, I will try to get an address.  Then my lawyer will be talking to them.  He's good.  And a violation of the DNC is a fine of up to $1000 per call, I do believe...

Got the call.  Where am I right now?  In Canada.  Look it up and find it is the same group of people that were calling while in the US.  There are two of thse groups, one out of St Louis and one out of Atlanta.  Atlanta does most of the CC modification calls.  It is a bunch of people who hire the boiler room call centres to make the calls and when they hook you they will give you another 800 number.  The Do not call list will not work, they ignore it, in fact one claim is they down load the list of do not call numbers and now have a complete dialling list and do not need to pay anyone for the numbers.  Cut the cost and we are all feeding their lists.  Further, a Canadian company call pull in the US DNC list and dial away and vice versa for calls into Canada.  The only way you can make this stop is if you call your State Attorney General and file a complaint.  Go to the State website and write an email.  Take the time you would waste answering these endless calls and send an email.  If you did that every time they called, the AGs would get about 3-4000 emails a day.  You think they would do something?  Just to make the emails stop!

Take back your phone, use the systems that has got us all trapped on this hamster wheel.

Got a call from them about 12:30PM today. Did not pick up and they left no voice mail. I went to the FCC site and filed a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
