Calls from Quebec 514-958-0000 Options

[Amy]

I got a call on Sunday evening on Oct.23,2005 from Qubec number 514-958-0000. Well of course I was ticked off its illegal to call on a Sunday and also I just lost my grandfather so that made me more mad. Well first of all I called a 1-866 # and bluntly told them that it was rude and illegal for them to call on a Sunday and that the conversation was taped and not to call me ever again. I told them that I talked to the Attorney General of Indiana. Then I took more steps I emailed the FCC, and I did email the Attorney General. I looked on this site and even called the company everyone is talking about and left a message on their machine, and I also emailed them. I made it clear to them not to call me at all and futhermore I don't need this crap just after losing my grandfather. I have it saved on my answering machine when and what day they called did have the number on my caller i.d. Its been 3 days since they called so hopefully they got the hint or next time I will be home and say not so nice words to them.

Also I forgot to add I'm on the DONOTCALL list in Indiana and Federal and I also made that clear to them also. I hope that everyone who got the same call as I did can stop them, these people are a pain in the arse. Even having caller i.d. and privacy manager is no match for them.

The TCPA makes it illegal to call people for telemarketing purposes before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM (local time at the called party's location). There's no mention of calls being illegal on Sunday. Your state may have such a rule about calls on Sunday, but I wouldn't know about that.

You say that you called "a 1-866 #". What number would that be, and where did you get it from?

[Frustrated]

I've tried to stop these faxes... the phone company can block the call, but you have to pay for it... yeah the victim pays... I've sent threatening emails... nothing seems to work.

If the little guy that is constantly harrased by these fax spammers can't do anything, then maybe it's time to feed these spammers a little poison.

Get the phone numbers (voice and fax) of the FBI, FCC, CIA, police, telephone companies, supreme court judges, government, news media (and in Canada the CRTC, CSIS, RCMP, etc.). Call these spammer's "fax removal line" and enter all these numbers into their removal system.

Since we all know the "fax removal line" is a way to cultivate good, live fax numbers, soon the spammers will be inadvertantly calling people who might be able to nail their arses.

Ethically, I guess it's a little lame to do this, but what else can we do to fight the spammers? If enough people do this, then maybe it will become a "real" problem and we can finally get these fax spammers to stop.

As many people before me, I found this board after doing a search of the phone number on my caller ID. When the phone rang, I didn't recognize the number and didn't answer; just did a search and found my way here.

Last week, I was talking with a client of mine who was telling me how he used to manage a clothing manufacturing plant and how they would occasionally get bomb threats phoned in. Part of their proceedure when this happened was to leave the line open (even if the caller hung up). Leaving the line open helps the phone company / police be able to trace the origination of the call. Since it seems apparent that these calls are not coming from (514) 958-0000 but rather from some other place that has listed that number to show up on our caller ID's, I think it would be necessary for us to find out the TRUE origin of these calls.

Additionally, I have heard of a device you can buy that you attach to your phone to stop auto-dialer calls. What it does is make a certain special tone that tricks the auto-dialer into thinking it has dialed a disconnected number. The auto-dialer then removes this "bad" number from it's list. It takes a while to get off all the lists, but at some point you're supposed to stop getting auto-dialed calls. I'll try to see if I can find what the machine was and report back.

Got one of these calls at 2:00am. Just got another tonight at 8:34pm. Hope this @#$%#@$company does not call tonight. The number was 514-958-0000
How do I gate on the do not call list? How do I make money from these f$@%ers?

[Amy]

To get on the DONOTCALL list for Federal is easy it depends on what state you live in like for me in Indiana I just typed in my search button Indiana Attorney General and his site had it set up to put the number down for the DONOTCALL list. Let me see what the website is for the Federal site it is www.donotcall.gov/, also the 1-866 number i called was 1-866-485-6111. I hope this helps anyone out who is having problems with this number calling them and driving them nuts too. So far it has been 3 days since they had called me so I'm hoping they got the hint.

the 1-866 number i called was 1-866-485-6111. Amy

Where did you get 866-485-6111? Did you receive an unsolicited prerecorded message that told you to call this number? Did you receive an unsolicited fax advertisement that told you to call this number? Who's number is this, and where did you get it from?

[Amy]

I got a message on my machine telling me I can get a great offer with my mastercard, something about a reward of $500.00 and to call the 1-866 number I gave. So far they haven't called back again. It is worth a shot to call the number and tell them not to call you at all and tell them that your taping the conversation and that you want them to stop.

[Amy]

But when it showed on my caller id it was the Quebec number so I called it, then found this site on the net and also called the other company telling them not to call me at all.

If anyone receives an unsolicited prerecorded message left on their answering machine please post it here. If a recording of the message isn't available, then just post as much of the message as can be remembered. If the message said to press 1 (or 9 or whatever), to speak with a live representative, then any information from that live representative would be helpful. Always try to get a call-back number, a www site, an address, anything that would let you get back in touch with the caller.

I rcvd a call tonight from the 514-958-0000 number . I did a google search and found www.5149580000.com ...According to nsi.com it is registered to SydCo Inc which has the very similar 5145960000 phone number. The SydCo company appears to be a victim as all of us are. However, their web site (5145980000.com) indicates they know who the real telemearketing firm might be...perhaps if someone contacts them they may be forthcoming. The legal excuse BS on the web site isn't logically. This is only my first call I have rcvd...If it gets worse I may contact them myself.

I've been in contact with SydCo on a reasonably regular basis, and they don't know who is making the calls that put through 514-958-0000 on caller ID. I am sure that if SydCo knew who it was, then SydCo would tell all of us so that we could sue the crap out of them.

Hi,
I would say good morning, but like the rest of you i am sleep deprived from these calls. At 3:30 this am and 4:30 am was the latest. The numbers they came from were 305-328-5624 and this next one actually had a name of ajaxpkgrng On. 905-999-0000. I am so tired of this. I can't turn off the phone because i have elderly sick parents. I am calling today and just have my number changed. I have already called phone comp and they said thats about all i can do. Just a pain in the butt to do that. I found the board by googling the numbers. I tried calling the others before the newest ones but they never went through. Said they didnt exist. I had calls from newyork,fl,canada I saw one of the numbers that called posted here in another post.the new york number. anyways wanted to let you know they have me too. If anyone comes up with solutions to this you can count me in.
Nice to meet you just sorry under this circumstance.

These phone calls really aren't that mysterious. Most times when you get one that just hangs up after you answer is a computer polling the number. Meaning that it's trying to identify:
A. if the number is good.
B. When you're likely to answer.
C. if it's a fax machine (which mine is so now I get spam in fax form.
Then they use that information to sell to other telemarketing companies for their own profit. Now I don't have one or any connection to the company, but you can get a device on your phone that will make that tone on your phone every time you answer that signals that the number is out of service... you know the 3 tone sequence before you get the pre-recorded message that the number is out of service. So that way, when you answer, the computer polling you is fooled into thinking that the number is out of service and removes you... really as opposed to what the companies tell you.

I'm so tired of these calls from 514-958-0000. I've press "0" for the operator or to get a human and it says you can leave your name and number to be removed from their list (even though you are on the DNC list - and yet, I think it makes me get more calls from this number. For me, it is some guy saying "Hi, Its Dan, you are qualified" to get some random satellite system.

Does anyone know of a legal action being taken that we can sign up for? I'm personally tired of getting woken up either early in the morning or my son woken up at night when they call.

I've tried doing the *57 to trace the call but to no avail.

Any suggestions - short of shutting off my phone?
