Just got a call from "Ann from Political Opinions" (7:20 pm, July 2/12). I didn't bother tracing the number as our local telephone provider now charges $2.00 for the privilege. (I'm in British Columbia.) But from the comments above it is likely the same outfit.Unfortunately, there is no way for Canadians to register with the US DNC list, although by the sound of it, it wouldn't be of much use anyway. Our (Canadian) DNC list seems to work up here, aside from the numerous exceptions so generously provided by the CRTC. These databases should be linked, although that would still require our respective governments to "grow a pair" and start prosecuting the offenders.
This number called my cell phone and did not answer because I didn't recognize the number. This has happened 2 times now? How did they get my cell phone number. Left no message.
Received a call 2 hours ago, and then my co-worker got one a couple of minutes ago. I did not answer because I did not recognize. She answered and no one replied.
I read 2 days ago that they are saying they are conducting a political survey. Once answered, you are eligible for a cruise but have to pay a $65 port fee. It's just another scam. Don't even answer it.
