The Do Not Call List...My Suspicions are Being Confirmed

Jafo's Journal posted a link to a CBC story about a scam that's going around, saying that the CRTC is releasing cell phone numbers to telemarketers.

I've read the comments, and I notice that many of them said that ever since they registered on the Do Not Call list, they've been getting MORE telemarketing calls, not fewer.

I am getting telemarketer call on my cell phone although I am on the no call list. the calling number is +10000000. I would really like to know id the crtc no call list is a scam.


I've not seen this email myself BUT YOU KNOW since I put my cell number on the do not call list I've been getting telemarketers calling it, first time in three years of having the same number. Coincidence? And they're sneaky too because their phone number comes up as all (000) 000-0000 and it's all automated and they don't say their name.


the DNCL doesn't work that way. It hasn't been hacked. The telemarketers are using the list illegally.


Georges Danton, answer the call from +1-000-0000, and gather some info from them. Don't give them any info (pretend to be interested just to get what you need out of them). I kept getting calls from 000-000-0000 (I'm also on the DoNoCall list) so I finally answered and they said "Hello, this is Imperial Majesty Cruise Lines"...funny because I have never had anything to do with cruise lines. I gathered enough info from the moronic idiot on the other end of the line to report them to the CRTC, who in fact did follow up and are investigating. Appears "Kelly Smith" is also getting this same call.


I completely agree with you...I also had not received telemarketing calls to my cell & fax numbers, but since registering on the DNCL I also get the same 1-000-000-0000 number weekly on ALL the numbers I added to list. A mere coincidence? I think NOT


I was wondering if anyone else out there in the blogosphere was having the same problem. This might be worth making some noise about.
