Just got a call from an unknown number 613-216-2172 out of Canada. When I called the number it said the mailbox was full. I know no one out of Canada I think this is a SCAM also. I live in Charleston, SC
I picked it up and just transient noise. From Ontario Canada -- near Ottawa.
Looks like telemarketers have figured away around the do not call list. First Canada and next month it will be Russia calling.
Only way to beat this is to find out what they are selling -- and if its a USA -- shine the light of truth on them. I am confident Obama will figure it out and solve it. Seriously.
Ok people, just got the same crap, but here is the difference. They only get one chance. I use a software program called "Callsoft". I have a modem on the computer and the callsoft runs in the background. When a call comes in it shows me the phone number and a name if available. No name on this one so pretty much knew it was not good. Anyway, I immediatly opened callsoft and instructed it to block calls from this number in the future. What happens is callsoft detects the caller id and then runs a program that sounds like the telephone company. You know de do da the number you have called is no longer in service, etc. Screws them up every time. Also use it during political season to block all the vote for me calls. In addition I have instructed it to block all calls that have a "0" as the caller id. that stops the ones who block there ID.
Hope this will help some of you, it sure is worth the trouble of setting it up. BTW you can also have personalized messages for your friends and family members. Yes it works just fine on Vista and Windows 7
