For the past 4 weeks I got no "telemarketing" or "scammer" call me. But right after the provincial election over, calls start to came in again. All those 4 weeks I only got political robo calls form 2 major parties. At first, I just block the numbers right after I pick up the first call. But strange things happen, they begin to switch phone numbers to call me. Using the same method as the "telemarketing" or "scammer". In curiosity, I research all those political robo call numbers. The numbers that the PC party use were previous calling people for debit consolidation just a month ago. The robo call numbers use by Liberal party were calling people for air duct cleaning and Bahama Cruise before.  From those numbers, people at the forum say those call center were in India or Pakistan. I always feel skeptical about this theory, cause they never call me on Labour day, Good Friday or Victoria Day. Are those days also a statutory holiday In India and Pakistan too? Furthermore, I think there is a regulation say no outside of the country help/assistance for the provincial election. So those call centers are located within Canada not outside.  I did contact both candidates, ask them who they hired for the robo calls. (I am not on DNCL, my number is unlisted, the only origination know my full name, address and phone number is Revenue Canada and Election Canada. So I think the call center use the voters list instead of DNCL to call.) One candidate say he did not hired anyone to call me(what a liar). The other candidate say he can not tell me, instead what he can do for me is to ask the call center to remove my number form their data bank permanently. Right after the contact, I did get less calls. Almost cutting half of the amount. I got 2 to 3 calls per week instead of everyday.Maybe that's why CRTC never can get rid of the call center.

Assume it's another scam

I received a call answered it No one there I stayed on the line and still nothing - Called it back and it said it was a survey and it was now expired( I only received the call 2 minutes before I called it back) scam!!! (902) 708-8304 Nova Scotia

Called my cell. I picked up - no answer, then silence, then they hung up.

They keep on calling

Called my landline phone and then 10 mins. later called my new cell phone. Where did they get my new number that I just got! Did not answer-no message left. Annoying that they got my unlisted number!
