A message starts and they ask me to push a button about the matter...but I don't push the button because they are acting lame...and I am not using rogers as my phone provider...government should make this illegal and levy fines for these type of calls and there will be no need for taxes then.

i havent any idea why they would be calling mehow ever they continue to call me every day for the last week. every time i answer the phone im on holdif i remember correctly this number called me a month or two ago asking for some one who didnt live her. No big deal but they were so rude to me I said things that I would rather not repeat.

F***!!! me too!! they called me 3-4 times every day and early in the morning too!!!

can anyone please tell me how to prevent them from calling me again? i use telus

I was also getting what felt like millions of calls from this number and I thought it was some fraudulent telemarketing scam or something - but when I called back (905) 948-3203) it turned out they actually were legitimately calling looking for some deadbeat guy who used to have my phone number before I got my new cellphone account. Now in a way it is still incredibly stupid, because I am a Rogers customer (and it is a Rogers number they were calling) so Rogers should be able to sort that out... but still, it didn't seem to be a scam or anything. They answered when I called, they were polite, they told me the name of the person they were looking for, I told them that the number is incorrect, they promised to remove my number from their call list. Simple as that!

After months of this harassment, hopefully that will be the last I hear from Miss Crawford...

It is illegal for these debt collectors to call you repeatedly after you have told them that you are not the person they are looking for.

This is regulated by the Ministry of Consumer Services.

I was having problems with a debt collector calling me for a relative's debt and they told me that they would keep bugging me until he called them. The collection company told me last night that there was no possible way to delete the number.  

I simply called the Ministry and the agent called the collection company with me still on the line in a conference call.  They were instructed to remove my phone number and the person said she did.  I am to call back if I receive another call.  

Here is the link to the ministry website with their contact info.
