It's a pattern of calls that I received. Every few months, it start with number of survey calls from different companies(sometime I got 4 to 5 different survey company within a single day), then the next wave will be air duct cleaner, home alarm system, cruise vacation or windows & doors. Final stage will be a collection agency's phone call....asking someone that I don't even know or met. I live all by myself with no debt, no late payment. I just don't know why I become a popular person or phone number for these agency to call me and harass me. Don't know why my number associate with all these people who run away from their debt. If they use their brain to think....if someone run away form their debt, will they tell anyone (especially to a total stranger) where they are going to hide??
I think all these air duct, home alarm, cruise vacation or windows & doors are the foot soldier working for a collection agency. First, who would spoof a number just to call a small number of people, not even more than a handful of complaints a day.
Second, callers always very rude.
Third, the time zone.
Fourth, when you file complaint to CRTC, not much help.
(don't tell me CRTC can not track these people down. ever heard of "Automatic Number Identification".)
I think that's a give away.
well, I already got a few survey companies called me...I ask who is funding for those survey...no one can answer me. Now this....so I think the agency will call soon...by then I can update everyone here who is behind all this calls and who they are looking for.
I received a call this morning from Ontario Eco Energy saying they will be coming around my area next to offer Rebates. She started by saying she had 5 questions for me and I did not have to say more the a yes or a no. She asked about the age of my furnace, a/c , windows, water heater. Even though I have replaced all these in the last 5yrs she told me that I would qualify for a Government Rebate. Funny thing is is that I did already receive a rebate back in 2012 when the offer ended.
People will try anything to sell u something. Not about to allow some stranger into my home to try and force me to upgrade what I already replaced.
I told her that I never heard of ECO Energy and needed to do some checking on it and asked her if I could call her back. She told me that she did not have a direct line to call her back. I told her that if I am not able to contact U then U do not exist.
Another annoying one is the Air Duct cleaning services....................HUGE scam also

Ever since I gave up Canada Bell I receive several calls doing surveys. At this time of the year there are also crooks checking out vacant homes. Bell could be stopping these calls simply by not giving away our phone numbers.
