Car Part Insurance - Marketing Calls
I get 1 phone call a day to my call phone with automated prerecorded Car-Part Insurance marketing bs. It use to come from different phone #s and now it mainly comes from 416-000-7732. Some of my friends are being harassed as well. Anyone else is having this problem? How do I make it stop?

I keep getting the same number. The numbers are actually being generated from the states. Nothing you can do other then get a new service called Call Screening. I know Rogers has it its $5 a month. Thats the only way to stop it.

So annoying. "this is the second and last reminded that the factory warranty on your vehicle is expiring soon". I just want to find out where these people are spamming/scamming from and give them a piece of my mind. And by piece of my mind I mean a drop kick to the head.

i get it from different numbers, all beginning with 416-000-_ _ _ _. theres an option if you keep listening to take your number of the call list, but then they just call from another number

I told them to take me off their list. I'll see if it works. Because they use a phantom local number, as their calls originate from a call centre in the US, they aren't affected by our do not call list.

Ya this is a funny issue, they somehow got a hold of a database with all kinds of numbers, even government numbers!
If you call them back, it sounds like some ghetto guy sitting at home (my friend called back)
if you push #2 i think on your phone, it will stop them from calling forever. Soon enough, this whole system will get busted and the calls will all stop forever....
