got this call today.  i hung up as soon as they asked if it was true that i pay my balance on time.  

creepy.

they seem to call quite frequently, but it's always dead air when I pick up too.

Someone called from (647) 288-1289.
The left message that I don't understand.
Sounds like they were speaking Indian - and you can hear allot of people talking in the background - though I don't understand them - another language - sounds Indian.
Sounds like allot of other telemarkters in the background.

i also received a call from this number but i never picked up the phone

Got a call - the display said 1-(647) 288-1289.Answered, and there was nobody there.  It was an automated system dialing the numbers - so that means sales.I am in the Do Not Call List - so that means a big fine for this company.Except, Bell Canada won't cooperate. No surprise.The government doesn't have the balls to enforce their own laws and rules - no surprise either.
