I've actually answered the phone a couple of times and there is absolutely nobody there ~ dead silence.

Called my house everyday around dinner time, sometimes twice a day!! I never pick up, but sure ignoring!!

if the government were thinking of the majority of people in this country they would stop these types of phone calls

c juste dla marde

They have called twice in the last 2 hours but luckily after the first time I blocked it.I am on the DNC call list for what I dont know.  They still call anyway.  What good is it NONE at all.

10 appels durant la journée

They are to ignorant to leave a message or id themselves - put it in  your contact list as "ignorant" so when they call back you just pickup and hang up in their face ... I like to do unto others as they do unto me!!!

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation, known for drawing attention to government spending, has been hit by a U.S.-based scam that poses as survey research before offering participants a free cruise, which is really a front for a high-pressure time-share sales tactic.Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian PressA Canadian group that advocates for lower taxes has been hit by a U.S.-based scam that poses as survey research before offering participants a free cruise, which is really a front for a high-pressure time-share sales tactic.The scheme involves automated telephone calls, known as robocalls, that use a handful of survey questions as a way to get around do-not-call lists in Canada and the U.S.In a number of calls reported in Canada, the recording asks a series of questions ostensibly on behalf of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, including about MP pensions, then offers participants a free cruise in the Bahamas. People who have accepted report being subjected to high-pressure sales tactics intended to sell them time-shares, according to reports online.Troy Lanigan, president of the CTF, said the organization has nothing to do with the calls, known as the Love Boat scam."I don?t even want to tell you how frustrating it is," he said, after speaking to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the CRTC, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and the Better Business Bureau."There?s not a lot [we can do]."Lanigan said he tried to trace the phone numbers that appear on recipients' call display, but the callers, who say they're from the Independent Survey Group, use a method called spoofing to get a fake number to appear."It?s terribly embarrassing for us. You feel so powerless," Lanigan said."If a vendor makes a mistake, you phone the vendor, you get it corrected right away, you apologize to the people involved and you move on. But in this case, you're fighting a ghost. You just spend time researching it online and trying to track it down."Lanigan blogged about the problem on the CTF's website at the end of June in an attempt to tell supporters. He said the people who first complained to them about the calls aren't even supporters or on their mailing list.He's asking anyone who gets a call to phone the CRTC, which regulates telecommunications in Canada, at 1-+1 866-580-3625, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-+1 888-495-8501.

?    Only one thing to do... That's what I do...If the phone rings and I answer and there's nobody at the end for more than 2 seconds, I hang up. 99.9% of the times, it's a computer call or telemarketer...Try it... Hello, one, two, click. If someone calls you, they will say something as soon as you say Hello... If not, click...    ?    I also received a call from (647) 725-2914... Is it me or aren't those numbers similar??Like I said before... If you unfortunately answer one of these calls, hang up if nobody talk after 1 or 2 seconds.Furthermore, if you get a call from an unknown number, don't answer and let it go to your voicemail. If it's a legit call, they will leave a message. Otherwise, don't bother to call back... it's surely a scam.Many people cause trouble for themselves by not doing what I just wrote. Telemarketers and scammers DO NOT leave messages. Remember... look at your caller ID... Don't know the number or it says unknown or private etc, do not answer and let it go to voicemail. Then, block these numbers on your phones.

I called the number back and there was a recording that said "You were called to participate in a survey and now the survey time has expired.  Thank you."Funny how it expired 15 seconds after they had called me.   I wish these calls were illegal and the companies making them were traced and prosecuted and hammered with huge fines.
