Just received a call about the home protection system. I'm in Calgary, AB so the FBI bit made it nice and clear that it was a telemarketer. I should have stayed on the line long enough to see if there was a name but I was so annoyed I hung up (I'm on the do not call list as well).
My my, 'mericans sure get all jumpy when they "think" they know anything at all...
We "Canadians" know our provinces, towns, cities and communities, we also know the U.S.'s and IF you had a brain you'd realize someone or some company is spoofing phone numbers that appear to originate from Vancouver but in your own country-THAT VANCOUVER!
Is it any wonder that Canadians think too many United States citizens are in-bred, redneck buffoons?
What are you anyway, the head historian for all things occurred since 1857??? Geez, sorry to have offended you, surprised you took a minute away from your 'merican-sized bag of Cheetos (this in reference to all those we see and laugh about who frequent your HUGE Walmarts
Went through the initial recorded message about the FBI and home security and they wanted to place a sign on my lawn for a free security system. Pressed 1 and waited for a live person. Listened to the customary Hi, How are you today and responded with "which company are you calling from". Caller said "Home Security Systems". Asked if that was the name of the company, and was informed yes. Didn't respond to any more questions while I looked up on the Internet for companies called "Home Security Systems". Couldn't find one. Informed the Caller I am from Maple Ridge, British Columbia and was abruptly hung up on.
