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.

These b@stards call my cell once a week, I'd like to find out their home numbers so I can call them at work or on a holiday or weekend. I believe the only solution would be a hard slap in the 'yap' and I am more than willing to travel to accomplish this task. ;).

Had a call from this number - no message.

Yeah, they called me too, from PEI, Nova Scotia. Picked up. They hung up. Who knows what that was about...

Have had a couple calls from this number and I don't pick up. I do not give my cell number out, it is only for family, so I know that this would be a telemarketer. Also, the fact that they do not leave a message makes it clear. I would suggest to anyone who gets a call from this number to NOT answer and also to report it. By the way, anyone know who or where we can report these numbers to??
