Just got a call from these bozos. Shows up as ONTARIO and the number (613) 216-2172.Since we've been getting these daily I finally presses 6 to talk to someone. Apparently we qualify for a credit card rate reduction.When I asked from which bank they were calling, they hung up.This one doesn't pass the smell test.

Just received a call this morning from this number. ?I do NOT answer any calls where the ID is "Blocked", "Unknown", "Unavailable", Anonymous" or "Out Of Area" or I don't recognize the caller ID.  The caller ID on this call was "OTTAWA   ON", no name and then the number.  Since we know people in Ottawa, I called the number back twice and both times I received the, "This Number Is Not In Service". "Please Check The Number and Dial Again"!  From what has been reported here, I see that it s a scam.

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...

We have received mult. calls from phone #(613) 216-2172. When my husband picks up there is dead silence on the other end. We are listed on the do not call list. This is becoming very annoying. Who ever is doing this...oviously has too much time on their hands.  If they would only redirect this negitive energy to positive energy.... this crazy world we live in would be a much better one!

I won't answer if the Caller ID reads "Unavailable," and I don't recognize the area code.  No message left.

I got a call from (613) 216-2172 and is was a recording with Congressman Steve Austria having a town meeting with his constituents...I put it on the speaker phone and listened to this garbage......He went on and on and on and on and finally I just hung up.  Too bad  a congressman has to call the US from a Canadian number......
