Rec'd a call from 289-799-3420 and the woman on the phone claimed to be from the Ontario Power Authority. They were doing "mandatory" efficiency checks in my area and what time should they come by tomorrow. I called bull**** on the mandatory and asked for a number to call back. She gave me a bogus 1-800 number and it turns out the Ontario Power Authority doesn't exist anymore either........ Ontario Power Authority merged with IESO on January 1, 2015.
I came home from work to find 3 missed calls, all from this number - I have had numerous missed calls from the same number in the last few weeks. No message is ever left.
That's because it's a "sales call". I was lucky enough to catch the call this time. They start to tell you that they are calling "before an upcoming assessment" on your furnace. It's much like the people who go door-to-door and insist on getting in to see your water heater/furnace/bills....they want to sell you their product. You haven't missed out on anything except annoyance.
