launch a complaint with the DNC List, CRTC and RCMP and call your MP and MPP. Call the office of the president Telus and say you are considering closing your account with them if it continues. You can also do #53 when they call and that sends it to the local police, some telco's have a fee for this service.
If its USA call Washington and launch a complaint with the FTC tey are very nice and would like to stop these calls.
Phone companies are all digital now and can easily block numbers such as 888-888-8888 or any other number, I feel these spurious unreal numbers should be blocked as well and it will make customers of the phone company happier and better customers and make more $$ for the telcos.
Never give any information out, never even say yes my name is, or you are talking with John Doe....
scam to get your credit card number. They called a business with the "lower your credit card interest now"
asked to be taken off the calling list, the sand Ni**er hung up on me. SCAM. Called back to tell the nig*er to pack sand, but it said "THIS NUMBER IS NOT IN USE"
