This company calls me every day. I work from home, so always answer my phone. I called the CRTC today after googling and finding this thread, and filed a complaint for every day this week. I asked if I should keep filing complaints and she said that they already have hundreds and hundreds on this telemarketer, but that if it made me feel better, I may file as many as I want. She was very very nice!
I've gotten these calls for months. I press 1 to speak to someone and as soon as someone answers I demand to speak to a manager. Last time I got a manager I told them to put me on their "Do Not Call" list and was told it would take a month. I just got another call today. The recording states that the company (who is not named) has tried repeatedly to contact me and an offer to lower my current credit card rates is about to expire. Press 1 to speak to a customer care representative about lowering my rates now. When a woman came on the line I told her that I had filed for bankruptcy almost a year ago and I don't even own a Visa or Mastercard. They hung up on me without another word. I tried to call them back but the number doesn't work. I think the next time I'll play along and see just exactly what scam they're trying to pull.
Funny, just got the call. Told her she definetly had the wrong number she said she had the good one. Then I said well if you were my company, you'd know my first language is French and you would have spoke to me in French - "do you speak french?" Her answer was classy: "What? You have something against english speaking people? You don't like us. You are a [***] idiot" and then she hang up...
