Take a hike survey p***ks. Wasting all my airtime

the 'do not call list' doesn't include surveys - read here: https://www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca/cofi-fico-eng

i do not want to receive any more calls from this number.

What makes you think that posting that here will do anything? You think GMI are monitoring this page to take removal requests? And even if they were, you didn't provide your #.

I'd suggest these calls are legit per se, but anyone using robo calls instead of a human can jump off a cliff. Especially a robo call that takes several seconds to start, which is just stupid since they'll lose lots of pollees who hang up before they even know what's going on. I'll never stop being amazed how a company so seemingly big and corporate can screw basic stuff like this up.

If you call the # back - it says:
Hello, this is GMI... calling on behalf of British Colombians for Prosperity, to ask about issues related to development in the province.
GMI can be reached at 604.283.2282 or P.O. Box 37039, Lonsdale, North Vancouver, BC V7N 4M0.
If you would like a call back or additional information, please press 1 and leave a message after the beep.
Please be sure to provide your complete contact information.
if you would like to be removed from future calling, please press 9.

Got a call, missed it and went to see who it was but call didn't register as incoming on call display.  Looked into it further and it's this same number.  Hmmmmm..... where are they getting this info.  What's the common denominator here? Telus cells?

It rang my cell and said "you've just won a cruise!" I hang up quickly.
I wonder how these people got hold of my unlisted cell number and in the Do not call Registry.

recieved call on my cell. did not answer!

No sound when picked up

Left message on my voicemail starting with "On behalf of the BC Government...."  It said it was a survey to find out how you like what the BC Government has done in the past several years.

Just got a call, didn't pick up.

It was GMI, they left a message.

Called did not speak and then hung up

They called my cell phone when it was turned off and left a voice message.    It was the standard "You have won two tickets on a trip to the Caribbean" scam.     Just press 1 to take a survey (give up your credit card number and PIN, no doubt) and then you'll get your tickets.    Otherwise press 9 and you'll be put on a list of suckers and be pestered by these calls until you change your number.    

I used to get these calls only on my home phone which I don't answer unless I recognize the number or name in the call display.    Usually they give up when nobody answers but I guess their machines can't recognize the difference between being shunted to voice mail and somebody picking up.

how do these marketeers know when someone is sitting down for dinner

I go for lunch now

Just got a call from this number. I usually never pick up unknown numbers, but answered this time. I heard nothing on the other end but faint static...I hung up after a few seconds.

My cell rang.  Display read 778-655-1700.  I answered and said "Hello".  Male caller said something I did  not understand.  I asked, "What is your name and how did you obtain my private cell number."  He hesitated which gave me time to put on my ear muffs to protect my hearing and then blow my air horn for 2 seconds, after which I said "Have a good day. Goodbye."  For whatever reason these guys never call me again.
