I have received three recorded phone messages from Howard English from Jewish Toronto.
Calling me when I am having dinner.
I don't appreciate these annoying interruptions at all.
Sorry, but pleas to these scammers, spammers, and phishers that you post to this site will do no good. They don't come to any complaint site or read any comments -- except perhaps to laugh at them, if they come at all.
Your only defense is to join in with everyone else in doing two things: 1. Check the Caller ID; if you see a name and/or number that you don't recognize or that doesn't make any sense, don't pick up the call! 2. File a report with the FCC with the ID information about the call; check the forums here for articles about how these reports are working.
the uja is a well-run and legitimate community charitable organization. instead of posting your complaints here where they won't be seen, why don't you try calling them up and asking them to put you on their do-not-call list?
(my complaint is only that they didn't put their name on the callerid, so i had to look up the name of the caller on 800notes. i just won't take calls without a reasonable name.)
