Calls from Quebec 514-958-0000 Options

[Celia]

I've also received calls from this number to my residence in Rhode Island. The last one was yesterday at 4:07PM and came up as "Test Code PQ 514-958-0000". No message was left but it's beginning to irritate me so I decided to do a Google search and found this board (as well as several other links addressing this specific number). Figured I'd post in case someone decides to pursue the company responsible and needs documentation.

OK, I'll start things off in "Telemarketing-Legal" with a new topic.

This topic concerns calls from Quebec 514-958-0000.

I've gotten several calls with "Quebec 514-958-0000" comming up on Caller ID.

Some of the calls have been abandoned (the caller hangs up when I answer), and some of the calls have delivered prerecorded messages.  The prerecorded messages have been on behalf of Summer Bay Resort and DirecTV.

Anyone know who is billed for 514-958-0000?  The areacode/exchange 514-958 appears to be in Canada, and it appears to be unassigned.  But there also appear to be some businesses using this areacode/exchange.

This number called this AM(4-25-05) and it was "Lighthouse Credit Corporation"

I am getting sick and tired of the calls from this number. Sometimes I get as many as 7 or 8 of them in a period of two hours. Our phone number is registered on the government "Do Not Call" list. If anyone has a free solution other than paying the local phone company for call-block please post it. Thanks.

Hi I just recieved one of these calls and what I did was contact 1-888-589-7901 (which is the number posted on express consolidations customer service number on their website) and I spoke with Tara I told her that our conversation was being recorded and that I received a call from their 514-958-0000 unassigned number and that if I received another call from this number that I would turn it over to the FCC for prosecution. She acknowledge the call number and took my phone number to place on their do not call list. I will keep you posted. However, I suggest everyone that has been contacted by this number to call the above number and record the call letting them know it is being recorded and then state you do not want to be called anymore or you will pursue legal action.

They call my house alot also. I wonder if there are any programs available for my computer that can log incoming calls like that and allow me to answer them through the computer and record straight to the harddrive. Would make for very easy logging.

Caller ID with Phone Ring Controller can solve this problem, only put 514-958-_ _ _ _ into Reject list see www.jfteck.com. Then it won't bother you.

Hi, I'm sure glad that some of you know some solutions to this problem with 514-958-0000.
I live in MA and get at least one call every other day.
I've answered a few times, only to be hung up on.
Only twice did I get a pre-recorded message stating to press one to receive offer, or press 9 to be put on their do not call list.
I've sucessfully not been hung up on twice while pressing 9, but I'm still getting calls that are showing up on my caller ID.
Like so many others, I don't want to be bothered, and don't want to resort to paying for the resolution of this problem.
If anyone has any like info to share please contact me : khc_02149@yahoo.com

If it helps I am in the UK & get calls about 3 times a week with ID withheld. On answering one of these calls I seem to get to the same people as yourselves. I am being told that my phone number was supplied by my credit card company, as this phone number is not registered with anybody at all, is ID withheld & is ex-directory & is only used for a dial up modem this is not possible. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I too called and was placed on the DNC list. They were calling 3-4 times a day on my home office work number. It was driving me crazy!
Hope this works, I'll post back if it doesn't.

Thank goodness for the internet... sharing this info is priceless.

yeah me too 1 to 3 calls a day frustrating %&*(*&^%#

The question then becomes, how did this 514 number become connected to Mr. Leshin, and has Mr. Leshin taken over the "business" from which his client Mr. Mueller has been permanently restrained.



It is very likely that Attorney Leshin has nothing more to do with this subject other than being the attorney hired to take care of the "Incorporation" of the company which would then list him as "Agent". Nothing more. Any time you see a name followed by "ESQ" (an old english tradition meaning "Land Owner"), it is generally an attorney. An attorney listed as Agent to a corporation usually has nothing more to do with it than being hired to file the papers.

You are all wrong. The number is from a secret government agency that is tracking our movements. You are one of the many selected to be watched as they are conducting a new world order experiment. I suggest burning your social security cars/misc. identification and hiding in the mountains. Thank you and goodnight. cantgetright151@hotmail.com

just got ANOTHER one of those calls from 514-958-0000 for the millionth time in the past 6 months. I get these calls at all hours of the day or night. when i tried back using *67 it came up as "managed long distance". I would love to prosecute since they do harass me and have been for ever ... any ideas let me know i'm really getting sick n tired of them. I'd love to get back some thing from their harassment... oh Colorado here peace

Tn is getting these calls regularly too. Solution...besides the obvious...don't sign up for ANYTHING on the internet...tell your kids! However, on the other hand...what about signing up your ex and his new spouse? or you spouse's ex! HA! Had a call today from the "Quebec" ID, and THREE CALLS FROM MCI, ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER...I finally told the chic..YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER!!! I AM NOT INTERESTED AND SINCE YOU OBVIOUSLY WON'T REMOVE MY NUMBER FROM YOUR CALLING LIST, WHY DON'T YOU TRY GETTING A REAL JOB FLIPPING BURGERS AT MCDONALDS AND LEAVE PEOPLE WHO HATE YOU ALONE! AND I hung up...feeling VERY GOOD...and they have not called back yet...today.

Just got a call from it on my cell phone, they didn't hang up but there was no one on the line for about 10 seconds before I finally did, good to know I'm not alone

Wow, I definitely wasn't aware that this was that big of a deal. We only mildly receive calls from this phone number regarding debt consolidation. Nonetheless, it is quite annoying to receive calls from these people. Mostly they call when we aren't at home so it isn't a huge nuisance to us, however, I will keep my eyes posted and save any messages that they record on our machine. Thanks for the insight!

I got 20 calls from these guys at my house. They're hocking everything from silverware to cruises. DirectTV uses them and so does the Dish Network. Lately DSS wants me to sign up and so does some home fitness company.

I'm on the Do Not Call lists and have blocked this number without success.

I contacted the FCC about the citation in this blog but its wrong. They say they issued it in error. When I looked it up on the FCC site it wasn't there so whatever you said about some lawyer in Florida is just wrong.

I've complained to my phone company too and they can't stop these people. Its a canuck phone number, out of the jurisdiction of the US DNC list. Guess those Canadians are pretty happy paying extra to call over the border.

I have spoken to a Express Consolidated Rep and I have a very similar number in Canada (1 digit difference then 514-958-0000). They told me that it was not there problem if people were too stupid to tell the difference on thier call display between there number and ours. We get 20 calls a day from people calling us by accident and we get threatened and harrassed. Being in Canada we don't have much legal recourse. If you would like to complain you can call Randall L. Leshin at his office and express your concern. He is the chairman of Express Consolidated. We would love for this to stop.

If I were you, I would just change my telephone number. I am doing that right now in order to avoid these calls ... they got my number and it won't stop until I change the number. I don't have the time to fight it. In your case, you will continue to get calls from people who are angry with the spammers, but they will never believe it's not you. Just change your number and hopefully you'll sleep better.

Just called the 888 customer service number for Express Consolidation. The rep claimed that their company only does "public service announcements" (of course all telemarketing ads they do MUST be a public service), which it claims are permitted under the telemarking act. I told her to put my number on their do-not-call list and if I got any more calls from them or any of their subcontractors this recorded call would be used as evidence in a lawsuit against them for the hundreds of calls I've received over the past year or so. She promised we'd be put on the list. Lets see what happens...
