- I have received a few calls from these assholes. I did two things:
- a. Called the Feds and complained. Lessee, I called my MP and said
- "Kill this junk mail stuff legallike", and filed complaint
- with CRTC (I think?).
-
- b. Called Bell Biz office and complained. They gave me a number to
- call. Calling said number gave me horseshit recording from same
- people, and FINALLY a thing that said "TO get removed from our
- files, please leave your phone number at the tone", or some such thing.
-
- I left my phone number as well as a suggestion that if I EVER
- heard from them again, I'd program MY computer to call theirs at
- 90 second intervals. Now, perhaps if enough people did this, or
- if we could get the number of the bozo who runs this operation,
- and call him at home in the wee hours.... it might stop.
