I received a call on my from above # (I'm in canada, Ontario). The caller was a recording advising me that I had won something and to press a #... I tried to call the above # back from my land line and received a message telling me to call 1014578#... that there would be a charge for the call!!!  I have no idea what company is calling my cell, but I want it to STOP!!!

I got this call and the message pn the phone says Service message and lists the number on the ID. I didn't pick it up. 3:37pm Pacific time

These are BS sales call. IT'S THE TELEPHONE EQUIVALENT OF EMAIL SPAM. NEVER ANSWER IT!

Here's the thing: If you answer, you get put on a list of "live" people for future call backs and for selling their sales list of "live" people to other companies wanting good "live" numbers. If you press a # to be taken off their call list, you are again marking yourself as a "live" person. DO NOT ANSWER ANY NUMBER YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE, just as you wouldn't open or answer any email from someone you don't recognize.

The government can't help with this any more than they can stop email spam. Besides we need to stop relying on the government as if we're helpless children sucking on the govt teat.

Here's an idea. Get an autodialer and put it on a regular phone so it won't cost you a fortune. Then auto dial these spazzholes 1000 times a day. You can probably get a program for any computer to do this. Plus, i'd be very surprised if the dialing capabilities built into the Operating System couldn't be programmed to call automatically and play a recorded message like, "Hi Azzwipe, just calling to say fack you." This will cost them money both for phone usage and for time lost calling other suckers. Better yet, organize a group of people to do this all day long.

Most people will never go to that extreme. So just don't answer any number you don't recognize and do not press any number to be taken off their call lists. I explained why earlier. If you like this idea, pass it on to others. Wouldn't it be funny as Hell if they got bothered to death for a change? Hasta la Vista, Baby.
