This call turned out to be a solicitation from Capital One for a credit card. They persisted even after I told them TWICE that I was not interested in signing up for a card.

I just another call from this number 4168472030 and an 8005449052 both from Capital One - what, are these people desperate for new customers or should I say new credit slaves???

I'm glad there is a webpage like this to get info on these numbers -- keep it up!

It's likely NOT Staple's fault -- most of these just use auto dialers that dial EVERY number in an exchange.  It doesn't matter if you're listed or not..

It is from "BBM CANADA"....Surveys company....
Check out their website....

Call the "Survey Director-Louise Martin" to take your number off their list. Her number is : 1-800-214-5226....
Or you can call her home....

See how she like it....

Thanks! I answered, heard an unfamiliar voice start to ask for me, and just hung up. I Googled the number, and found this thread.

Interesting info- This is a new house and phone number, and everything is in my GF's name, not mine. I NEVER usually give my name out, but I did ONCE since we moved in here... It was to Staples, for a card.

So much for their "confidentiality". I think I'll go back and ask them about it.

This person called my house EIGHT times.
I don't answer the phone if I don't know the phone number but I was getting REALLY annoyed. When I finally answered she was laughing and said how she was from some government related thing and they were doing a survey.
Just hang up on these people.
They're completly unprofessional and don't deserve our time.

I received an odd call from (416) 847-2030.  All they asked was if anyone smoked in the house.  There was laughing on the line when I first answered and then a woman asked the question.

this is telemarketing !! serveys

Who calls from this number?
