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!

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

I just got a dead air call from them at 2:30pm 5 November 2007

They just don't stop calling me last days, but I don't answer when I see a phone number I don't know. No messages left. But I'm wondering how did they get my number, because it supposed to be confidential.

I got this caller and the caller ID said the number with quotation marks and without the 1 at the begining all try asked for is my Dad.  then I checked on Canada 411 and they couldn't identify the phone number so I check the area codes and 613 is from somewhere in Ontario

This makes at least a dozen times I've been called by (613) 219-1293/">(613) 219-1293 "(613) 219-1293"), which is how it appears on my call display. A callback would seem to indicate the Conservative Party of Canada but I am now suspecting it's a "spoofed" number as I can't imagine the fundraisers calling on Sunday's or after 9 pm as some have indicated the calls where. I've formally had the call traced by the telephone company and am prepared to take legal action, so I'm keeping a log of the calls. Enough is enough.
