The most interesting thing about these crooks is the caller ID NAME appearing in quotes "(613) 219-1293". Wonder how they do that?

nothing -- left to answering machine, no comments.  Called at 3:11pm

I got a call from the same number and i called back to see  who it is. it is from the Conservative Party of Canada.

I am a receptionist at a buisness and they constantly call daily. Everytime I get a call from a telemarketer I wait until they answer so I can tell them to take our number off of their calling list. However, they consistently hang up promply after I answer, leaving me with a dial tone. So Mark you are inaccurate to say that people are not patient.I am extremely irritated with these phone calls and they disrupt my busy workday!

CallerID shows "(613) 219-1293" (including quotation marks) for the name.  I did not recognize the number, so I let the computer answer.  No message was left, but based on reports given here, I have put a block on the number.
