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.
Answer the call. Took the survey. Directed me to a Mike at a cruise line. Asked for the person to about getting my # off. Said they aren't me. Interested in the cruises or not. Had a 5min convo about he is linked in no way and if I didn't want them to call me to not take the survey.
Also, folks, don't bother to come here and say things like "Please do not call me," or "Please put me on your do-not-call list." The folks using those numbers and calling are not looking in here. And even if you do contact them (which I recommend you do NOT) through the contact form on their website, that won't make them stop calling, it will only confirm that you're a real person with a working phone and number, which can then be sold to others, or whatever nefarious stuff they do. You can't deal with these people, as they're scam artists (even if not very good ones), bad guys. Just keep as well away from them as you can manage.
