Called the last 2 days. May 2&3 2012. Didn't pick up, they didn't leave a message. I'm glad the do not call registry is working out so well. My home phone is constantly inundated with Duct Cleaning Service and Home Phone offers. What a joke!

I have literally been receiving calls from this company at least once a day, sometimes more, for months now. Looking at my call history for the last week I have gotten 10 calls. In 7 days! They are using various 1.800 numbers, often from las Vegas, Washington, or sometimes unknown. Always the same message "due to the recent economic crisis". Since its random numbers, I can't just block them, but it's annoying as hell. I'll add my name to the complaint list now that we seem to know who it is, although I don't suspect it will do much. I'll also urge as many people as I can to do the same.

I also wanted to add: I've pressed 2 to be removed from the list a number of times and it clearly hasn't done a thing.

They have been calling my company since the beginning of December. They've now started calling using different phone numbers, including private numbers. I have even seen "0" come up on the call display.

These calls are VERY irritating! Like I said, they've been calling my company. It disrupts important phone calls I'll be in with clients and when I check the voicemail in the morning, it wastes a good 1-5 minutes of my time since it will leave 1-8 messages EVERY day on the voicemail! I'm getting sick of this! This place needs to be shut down ASAP!

They called my house line this morning (I don't have caller ID), and then my cell phone from a 77830142 number. SO annoying, both "Due to a national economic crisis.."

By the way, all the people that say Bell is behind the number.... The number is a virtual voip line. Many telemarketers use that same number, it's an exit number for VOIP long distance service, good luck tracing it.
I made a complaint with CRTC about these criminals, everyone here should do the same

I found out who these people are.
I chose option 1, which only prompted me to leave a message. I faked interest, said I have $30 000 in debt. Next day I got a call, and the guy was happy to tell me all about their company.

Check out these scammers: http://www.sllaw.ca/

I get this call on my cell and at work. Has anybody actually pressed 1 and talked to a live person? What do they have to say about this?

Best way in the long term, though not necessarily a very immediate solution is to actually press 1 and waste as much time with the live operator as possible.  Ask a lot of questions, give them a lot of phony information.
If every person did this, call centres would find it very costly to stay in business.

This same consolidation auto message has several numbers they call from.  So far, received the same message on voicemail on cell phones and work from:
416-477-2756
416-628-5255
647-694-0561

How do we stop these relentless criminals from calling?

Relentless... Have received this to my cell phone, home phone, work phone (both lines) and the other day I got into the ELEVATOR at work and the stupid message was playing through the emergency speaker in the elevator!! How are they getting these numbers?! Everyone I know is getting this call multiple times per day.

Same thing.  Get it several times a day.  I have several cell phones, all unlisted and I get the message on every one of them.  I even got it at work through my PBX the other day.  The government needs to investigate this...it is a serious offense.

i wanna know who is this person calling my husband phone, everytime i am the one answers it the person just hang up. it happends twice in a week.

Is Bell Canada behind these telemarketing calls?

Just got this call on work phone.

It's a call about debt consolidation. Not sure if it's a scam, but most likely not the most legit.

Anyway, listen to the message and then press '2' to be "removed from the list". Not sure if you can press 2 sooner.

Also go to https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/index-eng that's the national do not call list. register your number, and report this number as well. They can get heavy fines if they continue to call you.

Got this same call today...Debt consolidation

Just got a call from this number. Ignored it and let it go to voicemail where they left an automated message about the economic crisis and debt. Called back and the number is blocked. Not sure how to get off their call list, but this is not the first time I've gotten a call like this. Annoying!!!

Same as others, called back, got a message this number is blocked.

Same as everyone else. WTF

I kept on getting calls from this number. It?s very annoying; I think someone should crackdown on these Guys and have them pay a fine for harassment.

got the same voice mail on Dec 20, 2011.

Received call from this number to my cell (area code 647) today.  Left same message as others have received.  Added the number to my "block call list".

Seems like some one seeking debt consolidation business free consultation press 1 for an agent now or 2 to be removed from the calling list. I got this call a few time in the last few days.

Called me twice from 416-628-5255. There must be a way to stop this.

how di they get our numbers?

Just today I got the same thing. I've inputted the number as a contact called "Scammers" so the next time that's what will show up on call display and I won't pick up.

I also didn't answer, then googled the number for some reason and found this page. Weird.

When you call back it says something like it cannot connect with the server.

I got a call from this number but when i answered the person on the line never said any word so I figured out its just one of the telemarketer so i hang-up . I hate callers like this.

Received a call a few moments ago on my cell phone. Answered hello and got no response.  Hung up.
