Same call, same crap.  The first part of the message was missing because the telespammer didn't wait for my machine to beep before starting the spiel.

Same as Roxanne. Got such a debt-consolidation call today.

I called up the number, just for sh*ts and giggles. Calling them up gives you two options: press 1) to have your number taken off the "list" (ie. confirm it works), or press 2) to have the wonderful debt services.

Pressing 2) seems to actually forward you to this number: 905-455-8474, which is for a Brampton based company called the "Ontario Consumer Credit Assistance." There you can leave messages on a variety of extensions, including 100, 102, and 500. None of these options lead you to a real person, which is really cause for concern.

This thing has more in common with a spam operation than a legit business.

Ontario Consumer Credit Assistance has a web site at: www.occa.ca

Let's all call Alice at home, see how she likes it!

Same as the others. In the past I have asked to be removed from their list and I subscribe to the CMA's "Don not Call" service.

The website lists them as a proud member of the Brampton Chamber of Commerce...so perhaps we should all get in touch with the Chamber at
admin@bramptonbot.com to see how proud they are to have this company as a member.

Repeated, repeated, voice messages that have prevented other incoming calls.

Tried to phone this company to speak to a human, but no luck.

Appears to be a marketing scam.

Victoria at 1 866 873 6222 x 225 is a person you can talk to....or maybe just fill up her mail box?

They are still calling me repeatedly, even though I "applied" for their services to see what they are up to, received a contract in the mail and have been receiving calls from her on a regular basis to follow up.

Number on call display was 646-827-4570 but number left on VM had a 613 area code. I clicked on the web site link above and the web site seems to have been set up on the fly. Click on the privacy policy link and you get a page without text. So they don't have a privacy policy when dealing with people's personal financial information.

I think the idea of contacting the Brampton Chamber of Commerce is a good one. If the BCC is indeed legitimate then having a phone spammer as a member may not bode well for their reputation.

I also wonder if the Ontario ministry of corporate and consumer affairs should also be made aware of this.
