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!

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

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

Dead air, called the number back and learned it was the Conservative Party of Canada.

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.

As far as I know, it's illegal to use auto-dialers in Canada. It's also illegal to call people who are on the laughable DNC list. Thanks Conservative party...you've given us the two most expensive, useless jokes of legislation...the gun control law (criminals don't register their guns) and the Do Not Call list (low-life telemarketers purchase it as a treasure trove of confirmed active phone numbers.) Welcome to the inaction and inept style of Canadian legislators and their watchdog "enforcers" like the CRTC. I suspect this phone number is actually a telemarketer operating out of the US and spoofing the number. Report it to your phone company.
