I've pressed to be connected a couple of times. The first was mostly to find out if it was one of my card companies calling (so I could cancel the card.) They were actually so evasive with answering my questions as to who they were, that I told them to take me off their calling list.

The second time the guy was immediately wanting info, and I told him I wanted the name of the company and a contact phone number. They hung up on me right away.

Anybody know who they are? I'd like to file a complaint with the CRTC as they break several rules, but I don't even know where to start.
Ya, I've been getting that one a lot lately. The number does come up as 000-000-0000. Pretty unnerving. I've just hung up every time, but maybe I will connect next time and try to get some info from them. At the least I'll tell them to take me off their list.

The best is when they say they've been calling me in regards to my "Visa/MC/American Express/etc." It's so obvious they're fishing for info...
