Telemarketing scum.  Guy went a**hole on me when I asked him to remove me from their calling list and never call my number again.  He said he would call back tomorrow, the b****rd.  (I'm on the US National "Do not call" list.)

I get calls from this number 3 different times a day, every day. I finally decided to answer and it was a 60 second recorded messages stating that interest rates on my credit cards are set to increase tomorrow and if I want to lock in a low interest rate, I need to speak to customer service. So I did, I pressed 6 to find out who it was that was calling and to get more general info as to what type of scam they are trying to run. After pressing 6, it connected me to a live "Card Services" agent who asked which cards I would like to lock in low interest rates and the card numbers. My first and only question was "which bank are you calling from?" The guy paused for about 7-10 seconds (I could still hear his breathing and other background noise), and then hung up on me.

Short of having the FBI trace calls connecting to my number, I doubt reporting a complaint with the FTC will do anything since most likely, the (613) 216-2172 number is faked using some sort of Spoofing (see spoofcard.com). The best thing I can think of to do is have everyone ANSWER the call and have everyone connect to the Card Services Agent and then hang up. If no one answers and connects to the service rep, he/she wont be bothered. BUT if EVERYONE connected the call WE would then be the ones WASTING these a-holes time, effort and money. The goal is to increase their operating overhead while wasting their time, frustrating them out of business. What would you do if the thousands of potential customers you were seeking suddenly all returned your call, flooding your system with junk leads and phone hang-ups? Think about it -- it makes total sense.

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......

wanted to lower my interest rate on credit card said i was valued customer...press 6 to speak with live agent as opposed to a dead one? anyway, asked to be put on do not call list and "Stephanie" hung quite loudly in my ear. When you call the number it's set up to go directly to voicemail and the mail box is full...imagine that!

Called me at 10:25 am. My v-mail kicked in and recorded dead air for 8 seconds.

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.
