SAME thing JUST happened to me!
So annoying, the guy was indian as well and very hard to understand... He asked me what home security we were with and I told him I wasn't willing to give out that info. He asked me my name and I told him I wasn't telling him.
I asked to speak to someone else but he just kept talking - super hard to understand with the accent and  lots of background noise.

ALSO... when I was speaking the line was silent. Did this happen for the rest of you? Makes me thing I was being recorded.

Got  a few calls from these guys, very creepy. Do not want any more calls from them. they were very rude and could barely speak english. I hope they stop calling.

647-258-4750 - Asking if our house had a security system on it !!! Not IF i'd be interested in home security BUT DO You??? are you kidding me???

Yes, the police.
...and file harassment (providing they have called repeatedly)

"best response to any call to your house" This house does not take marketing calls and is on the do not call list.

Do not allow them to finish talking and do not listen for a response; hang up.

if a number is displayed; note the number and time a day.  Providing you are the do-not-call list if the number comes up as a common harassment, file with the police.  Toronto non emergency number is 413.808.2222 press 0 to get the switch board tell them you are getting harassing phone calls, they will transfer you to communications there you should be able to talk to someone.

good-luck.

Buy a phone that lets you block numbers, every time I get annoying phone calls from telemarketers, I just block em through my phone. Also register at donotcalllist to limit tele's calling.

So, what can we do to stop these calls???  Anybody know??  Is there any governing body that can put an end to the harrassment??  These calls come EVERYDAY!

This man was so rude!!!! He actually said: "F..Off" and hung up!! A complete NUT!!!!!

Called, heavy accent, mumbling about a security system.  I told him to learn English and get a job as a janitor or cab driver.

just call back and ask them when their home security was installed their company, ask them how many tv's they have, their address, and what time they go to work and say it's your business to know about your new potential home security company, and use an accent.

Better yet, use a different home security company and start making up features.

they called again 9 days later, number looked familiar so I didn't up, was trying to look number first but they hung up. This time caller ID says unknown number.

Same story as anonguy123. Man with Indian accent called asking which alarm system we had. Didn't even say which company he was working for. Convo went something like this....

Caller: "Hello, is this Mr. or Mrs. (last name)?"
Me: "yes"
Caller: "Mr of Mrs (last name) who live on (address)?"
Me: "yes?"
Caller: "Hi, I'm just calling to ask which alarm company you're with."

I told them I wasn't sure and hung up. Like seriously, how stupid do they think we are? Get a real job f***er

btw no one checks back on these things for follow ups so we have no idea if any of the previous posters got robbed or kidnapped like that Chinese real estate agent and his client. One of them got killed recently.

There's more than one article, one talks of how they actually caught them.

Just thought I would mention this to encourage people to follow up.

I was almost mugged (I technically had a speed advantage) last week so I'm taking personal safety seriously.

http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/6472584750 yeah thats me.
Some Indian dude on the phone. Now the question you have to ask yourself is:
Is this some good Samaritan Indian guy, Mr. white hat, trying to point out security flaws OR
Is this some Indian criminal re-conning his next home invasion victim?

The smart thing to do is probably not to tell them what alarm system you have.

me again: correction V08190235050042 without one zero. This is a Toronto Ontario Canada Number so I don't know why it says New Zealand on the bottom.

They called and asked if we had an Alarm system, Indian accent. it seemed suspicious like they were trying to manipulate us into telling them if we have a Home Security System so that they can be prepared for a robbery. The Caller ID was "V081902350050042" I gave them the run around.

With a caller ID like that, I'm not sure if this is reputable company or even a real company.

You guys have heard of Swatting right? where voip gets hacked and they can fake a call with your phone number after they hack and they can make a fake police call saying there has been a murder and to send swat to shoot the killer. Police comes, knocks door downd and you are taken by surprised, try to defend against burglars, get shot and die.

What makes this suspicious to me is the caller ID

Dont forget to compain to the CRTC....I did.

had a call too, this guy won't give up !! I just stopped answering... it's just a scam.

Got a call from them today. The original person said his name was Robinson Chris and he was from Canadian Home Security Alarm Services. When I asked him to give me a address he said they were located in Victoria B.C. When I asked him to give me a number, he passed me to another guy who said his name was Shawn Conner. When I asked Shawn where they were located, he said they were from Brampton, ON. When I pointed out the contradiction, he tried to make up an excuse and then hung up.

Can you please stop these harassing phone calls, This person called me 5 times in 20 minute span.

CALLED ME TOO !

they called me too

Do not even complain to Bell or Rogers, just call and cancel your telephone service with them.  They will then decide to do something about these really annoying calls.

If you registered with the Do Not Call list, pls file a complaint and they will be fined thus freeing us all from continous harrasement. The caller is also very rude. File your complaint here ->

Called multiple times in a week

For the first call I was genuinely interested in what he had to say, but only until he became persistent in knowing the security features of my home

Told them to not call back but they then continued to do so later on in the week

Asked the same question

Called earlier today and I heard his voice and just hung up

Really annoying.

Got a call this morning.

Just had him call me. English was not his first language and he asked for a Mr & Mrs "something-or-other"   I told him he had the wrong number and just hung up.  He called my cell phone number, so I am assuming it was a misdial as my number is not even listed.

Good to know that this number should not be answered.  Its now on my "Do not answer" list.

Thanks to all for posting.

I had them call for the first time today.
They said they were Local Home Security Alarms.

The caller first introduced himself as Fifa? But later stated his name was Jeff.
New my phone, address, and first initial and last name (phone book or 411.ca)

I knew from there that they were fraudulent so I started playing and was on the phone with them for 15-20 minutes while I had the BBQ going.

-They have 7 monitoring stations in Canada with Mississauga being the largest.
-Canadian Company
-Floor Supervisor was Sean Conner (same guy as Jeff, didn't really event attempt to change his voice)
-Willing to cut ANY deals including a 15 year monitoring contract for $10.00 a month (HAHAHA)
-Willing to accept cash upfront for 15 year contract

He kept prying to know which system I currently had which I didn't provide and whether the basement was finished or unfinished (wired or wireless systems my ***.)

I would suggest ignoring them and not providing any information. Also ensure your basement windows are locked haha.

getting sick of harrassing calls from people i cant understand wanting to know if i have a security system. when i say yes i do and they ask who its with and if its monitored i tell them its none of their business and they say why isnt it. called police to report phone #.

Called asking to speak to the owner of the house, when I told them that person. Wasn't available proceeded to ask if I had an alarm system in my house. I declined to answer, but he kept repeating the same question so I hung up. English was not his first language, he was extremely difficult to understand

Everyday they call and i have no idea who they are.
