This call is from a telemarketing company, the reason you answer and have dead air is because company's like this use auto dialers, so one person is calling several ppl at a time, but can obviously only speak to one person, so the rest of you answer and nobody there. One way to stop telemarketing calls is to put yourself on the Do Not Call list by dialing 266-580-3625 or visiting www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca This will take 30 days before taking effect, but once it does, if they company continues to contact you, you can contact the CRTC and they can be fined up to several thousand dollars. This applies to any repeat telemarketing calls you get.
Got call, early in the morining, didn't pick it up (as I didn't recognise the number), then looked it up, found this number to be listed as "out of service", and listed here a "suspicious list" !
I've been getting calls from this number and others that must belong to the same caller for over three years, usually very early in the morning but sometimes at other times of the day. I've just gotten three in the span of 15 minutes, one from this number, one listed as unknown caller (without a phone number) and another with an 'unknown name' ID from 514-868-9760. I assume it thinks I'm a fax machine and is trying to send me masses of useless junk-mail. I've tried reasoning with it, but it just beeps at me.
I've never understood this form of advertising, as it seems so universally unwelcome. Unless it's just a front to force people to buy more fax rolls and ink cartridges. Hmm....
I've got a call from this number as well this afternoon. I called back and received an out of service notice saying that phone service had been disconnected. Strange. It may be someone spoofing the text of the Caller ID
I have to me also a large list of number, therefore sonnor effect resembles a fax. Here the list: 514-284-6477, 514-667-5029, 514-739-5598, 514-861-0528, 514-284-9692, 514-908-2849, 514-448-8976, 514-448-8977, 514-868-9760, 514-448-8975, 514-448-8109, 514-448-4921 and finally 514-861-0472. If you know one of these number to say it to me. PLEASE
