I just received a call from this number asking for the manager & said he was calling on behalf of CPN. He said it was in regards to the increase in crime in the area. I told him I wasn't interested & I hung up. His American accent was a dead give away. I wish these people would get a life.
Usually a great tip-off when call display gives a number which can't possibly exist. Criminals are really dumb aren't they? I put 'telemarketer' because there was no option for 'wood tick's tapeworm'
Received a call - did not recognize the number and this is NOT a legitimate telephone number for Manitoba - Canada. No message left on machine.
As far as who these people are - they are low life - bottom feeders, but there are no options for these names either.
Had call from this number on Jan. 6/16 asking for the owner or general manager of the company. When asked what the call was about, the answer given was "crime in the area". When I pressed him as to who he was and what he wanted, he got defensive and wouldn't explain. I eventually told him I would not put his call through to the owner and hung up. He called again on Jan. 7/16. This time he said he was calling on behalf of the Winnipeg Police Service because of the rising crime rates in our area. He wanted donations. The police never solicit donations by phone.
Just received a call today. (Jan 7) Same thing - regarding crime in our city, keeping criminals off the street, etc. They wanted our company to advertise in their newsletter
