I saved an email from a long time ago about what to do with with these automated calls. Don't know if it really works but I guess it is worth a try.
What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times, as quickly as possible This confuses the machine that dialed the call and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer !!!
Just got a call on Saturday morning, didn't pick up and it left a short message saying to please hold because an operator will be with me shortly. Then it hung up.

Got a call this afternoon from 407-111-1111. The free trip thing! I get SO many calls a week from this and many other telemarketing scams. Last week alone, I received a total of 11 calls from various "companies". My number is also not listed, and I really resent the intrusion. I realize that they are simply using a computer generated phone number program, so they don't really care who they call, but there HAS to be a way to stop them. I've tried blocking the various numbers, but that doesn't work because they call using so many phone lines that I'd have to block 50 numbers per "company". Does anyone know where we could send a complaint to?
I am in my office, I practice law, and the 407-111-1111 comes up with a press "9", and I am checking them out as they are talking about a vacation. I came across a website that shows that they have had the domain revoked from cwrpromotions.com, now cwrpromotions.info.
looks like they have creted a deception, and then the supervisor interferred with the call and asked "how can I help you" and tried some authority speak with me, he did not know that I played along, and informed his staff of the investigations underway with this company.
So, he called me an "idiot", and did not get my money for a free promotion. Big scam to me, and I'd like to find out who they are because they are crossing boundaries of law now that they have called Canada.
Someone who has a fax-line selling a variety of cameras owns that number. I am sure that they are rightly upset, and should lodge a wire-fraud complaint; unless they are one of the same party.
