And another call today!
We are getting phone calls from iQor on a continual basis.
I have contacted the CRTC, using the official complaints site.
They phone, and an Emily-like voice tells me it is important that you "call this number right away". A lot of people have been harassed by them.
It is a robocaller, tells me it is 'very important' that I call 1 866 526 7794.
I researched it, and found many complaints dating as far back as 2009. We do not have call display, and cannot use *60 or *11 to block them.
Do you think I'm calling the 888 number? NO WAY!

We are on the Do Not Call List here in Canada. They are calling us twice a day, at least. I have filed a complaint.

Thank you for filing your complaint. The CRTC will make every effort to take enforcement action against any party who violates the Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules.

Those calls drive me nuts. I get a text every month from someone who wants me to play some game or another. Too stupid for words.

p.s. Hope Sadie gets better soon. Tell her that Liza Bean Bitey, of the Minneapolis Biteys, insists that SHE insist on "the good shrimp" from you. For medicinal purposes only, of course.
Grrr, we are also on the Do Not Call list, and have decided the CRTC (or whoever) sells the Do Not Call list to the highest bidders, otherwise we wouldn't be getting so many robocalls and telemarketers.

Our regulations on telemarketers is useless. 1. Too many loop holes 2. American calls are exempt. 3. they only go after the biggies.
I have call blocking and it really works. My phone cost 80 bucks so it's worth it.
I hate these kinds of calls (and emails!)
We recently changed our phone line, got fed up with Bell, and they asked us if we wanted to pay so they would give out our new number. I said ... why would I want you telling all those telemarketers our new number!!
