After 30-40 calls to my home, someone finally had the guts to say anything. The [***] telemarketer had a thick, hasty East Indian accent and rushes through his questions. Here was the word-for-word conversation, and I suggest you follow suit (if you are so lucky to find someone who has the guts to answer the phone on their own call, it took 40 tries in my case), as I have since not had a call in the past week.
Me: Hello? (Pause 3 seconds) Hello? (Pause) Hello? ...about to hang up...
[***]: ...10 seconds later... Are you owner of house?
Me: Yes
[***]: You need duct cleaning.
Me: (Speaking very slowly and clearly). Just had it done. Ducts were cleaned last week. OK for next 10 years.
[***]: You need duct cleaning. We have special 50% off.
Me: I don't need it, I just had the ducts cleaned last week.
[***]: When you have cleaning?
Me: Last week. Don't need cleaning. Take me off your list. Stop calling. I repeat, stop calling.
[***]: Click.
I just got a phone call from 416-277-1688. It was some woman asking if I was the owner of the house. When I responded NO she hung up. When I called the number back it was a mans voice on the message and the mailbox was full.
This number just called but no-one was there and the call disconnected. When I called it back, I got a voicemail message stating that the mailbox was full. I have added this number to my phones zap list.
same company uses a series of 1 800 numbers. They are GT telecommunications or a name close to that. They have been reported twice by me for unsolicited ILLEGAL phone calls. I suggest calling your new Conservative federal MP and give them a real job to do. Perhaps Ontario Conservative leader Tom Hudak can get his "prison" work "people" to go over to these telemarketers and convince them to be nice and stop harassing people.
