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.
Telemarketers calling with recorded message asking you to take political survey. Then after short survey you're transferred to a agent advising you won a trip. All you have to do is provide a credit card number to pay for fees and taxes. You tell them you on the DO NOT CALL list, they immediately hang up. When you call back "ANN" on a recorded message says you were called to take part in a political survey and the time has expired. press #1 to be permanently removed from their call list. That's a bald face lie. It merely confirms your number and they change their number and call you back within 24-48 hours with the same old line. I always call back using my google phone so they call a number that doesn't exist. But how they got my cellphone I don't know. But I am considering filing a class action suit against them if I can get enough support.
