Canadian DO NOT CALL list

[Michaelaw]

I knew the US had one but was unaware of ours. It blocks telemarketers from calling your number, they have 31 days to comply. These people drive me nuts ...Antway, thought I'd share

Will they make Sears stop calling me? Only people who do and for insurance on products I've never purchased...

If you just have one then you should just be able to tell them when they call to take your number of their list. They still have 31 days to comply however. We get a ton of calls mostly because my roommate signs up for everything. I Sign up for club cards and stuff too but always give a false phone number and email

Haha..believe it or not..I told them three nights in a row. Needless to say..the third call went to the call center floor manager where a few words were said and then a call to Sears Costumer Service where more words were said. Haven't had anything since..but I haven't used them either..nor will I once I'm out of this forsaken no stores place.

I used to get called by credit card companies all the time, so once I went through the whole procedure until I was asked what my income was. I told her I wasn't going to tell her that, she claimed that I needed to in order to get the card. My reply was that I didn't want the card, so she enquired why I wasted her time, I told her it was my turn. I have not received a single call from a credit card company since.

The Aussie version of this has worked well for us for the past few years. Unfortunately now though we only have one line into the house which is the business line. You can't stop them on that. We gave up the private line because we rarely used it and only got a couple of incoming calls on it. Better to just stick with the mobiles ... cell phones to you lot I think?
