That CRTC employee said it without saying it. "We spend most of our day gossiping and enjoying long lunches the taxpayers pay for. I don't know how we can find time to actually do our jobs".
And having lots, and lots of meetings at that beautiful huge meeting table. The CRTC just like the USA's DNC lists are noting but paper tigers, run by government bureaucrats buying their time til they can collect their pensions.
A couple things I do when they call -act like i speak Spanish then English again -try to sell them car insurance -or do an Indian accent and say I’m like 2 booths down don’t call me
Typical worthless government agency that has no problem collecting taxes, but does everything they can just like this lady to make excuses. And you can see in her eyes, she can careless, 'we are the government, what are YOU going to do about it, nothing.' Governments have no purpose and are useless!!
Have fun with it, turn it into one of life's little pleasures. Use a headset so you can do other things at the same time, dishes, house work. Put the telemarketer on hold for 30 seconds, pick up and say "Are you still there ? Hold on, I'll be right back". Make a long list of excuses, someone at the door, gotta change my batteries, see if you can keep them on the phone for 30 minutes. Tell your friends, turn it into a competition, if enough people do this, their industry will collapse.
bats..., I ask them if they are wearing underwear. I tell them I'm naked.....I ask them to do things for me... When they hang up, I'm the one with the grin............
batsondceiling 833-223-6881 feel free to have fun with these guys. They not only call me they txt me. I’ve txted them a link to this video like 100 times
The best way to deal with them is to make your phone a paid line. You rake in cash while the telemarketers think that they're coming closer to making a sale. It's worked for several people in the states and one guy even gets an extra USD$500 or more every month because of it.
@@kevincow1448 not bad! Even funnier, I live in a country where the company pays wages that you can live off. Thus eliminating the need for tipping. After all they employed you, they can pay you. Novel idea I know. 🤣 Sorry mate, I'm from Australia and get tired of hearing about people not paying their tips and the staff being short changed. Here the staff wages are factored into the price, and you can still tip! Winner, winner!
I have seriously said, in my best Indian accent “hello, you have reached someone who does not want to be telemarketed. Please waste someone else’s time.” to these telemarketers.
1.Get rid of that 50’s style rotating phone 2. Get a house phone with CALLER ID 3. Throw That phone in the trash as well. 4. Install a scam blocking app on your cell phone, no one uses house phones anymore
I use binary. It's a five digit code I can do with either hand. Some people only use the index finger. Ancient civilizations from the 1940s to the 1950s called it the finger. In BINARY it's either on or it's off. My phone is off.
And you are psychic and have a way of tracking them down. You obviously didn't get the message that they are "virtually" untraceable, and good luck on convictions in a lot of countries, especially 3rd world, even if they have a lot of computer literate people there.
Meanwhile the woman is swearing a blue streak and this lovely gentleman asks if he can say he'd like to "put his hands closer to their neck" on camera. XD
I like to spend around 15 minutes making them think they’re going to get a sale then tell them they have wasted their time and invite them to try again any time.
too bad some telemarketers operate differently in other parts of the world. In HK, every 5mins a telemarketer can hold a conversation with you, they get a little over 70USD. so, cancel the call at 4min 50 sec lol.
The laws don't apply for those foreign workers. How would you enforce it? Probably picking up the phone keeps you on the call list too, screen your calls bro.
Read my top post. You have to make them know you know where they are - we have "super trackers " now and they are being hunted down in their own land ! Watch your back now, bye.
The Governments around the world could easily end this by imposing sanctions on countries like India, Pakistan, Nigeria etc. until they fix their mess within their countries. But unfortunately, it's not on their priorities list.

The spokes lady from the CRTC is quick to tell everyone what a good a job they are doing, but slow at REALLY doing something about Telemarketers who violate the rules. Like almost all Government Bureaucrats her number one concern is her paycheck; as long as it's coming in, she couldn't care less if the agency is doing anything. These people believe the real job of the CRTC is to provide them with a job. Years ago during Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty a local "charitable" group in my home town was given a one million Dollar grant from the Federal Government to help elevate poverty in their community. After over a year had passed, the ten people who ran the "charity" had a nice office, but nothing else to show for the million dollars that had been spent. An audit showed some of the money had been spent on renting the furnished office, and the rest had been pocked by the "charity " workers. At their trial for theft of grant funds, the defendants claimed they had helped ten families get off welfare; THEIR ten families. They went to jail for a while, and when they got out they rejoined their families who had gone back on welfare. The CRTC is much like that "charitable" organization.
I am curious to know. well what happens hypothetically if I say yes i want my air ducts cleaned. What do they do? Send someone from Pakistan to clean the air ducts?
good plan ... or at least make it illegal for companies to use telemarketers that don't follow the law - do them for conspiracy to circumvent the DNC list regulations.
Fete Fatale Its already illegal. And people really do need to clean air ducts, but thats a service thats done when needed and not done when the salesmen wants.
Or just launch a massive education programme to let everyone know about their scams.. That way if no one buys from them they go out of business. Problem solved
Its called harassment dude let me call your house 4 times a day for the next year and let me see how you would feel. Its not just Canadians its everywhere.
I mean I already do, Canadians aren't the only ones dealing with telemarketers (for me it's "resort stays" and "time share opportunities" but I just hang up. 15 seconds tops, and I go back to do whatever I was doing.
Whenever a telemarketer calls, I act like an 8 year old and say "Herro? This is panda wok, what would you like to order?" It's quite fun to see there reactions.
I mess with them too. People don't realize the OPPORTUNITY to use the telemarketers as free entertainment. I started doing it out of frustration, but now.....i get giddy when I get one. 😁
I usually give them two.. maybe three chances to take me off their list.. after that, I start having fun with the calls. My favorite are the "Microsoft Tech Support" ones.
I've gotten so upset over phone numbers I don't recognize, I do not ANSWER the phone UNLESS I recognize the number calling me, although most of the time I tell everyone that I know to leave me a message, and I will call you right back if I'm home....and this works better for me.
two ways to stop this 1. do not engage with them, put down the phone once you know who they are 2. keep them on the phone as long as possible, waste as much of their time as possible. Get them to spend a log time thinking they are getting what they want, then tell them you are wasting their, they wont call you again
But that doesn't STOP them. You can hang up or string them along, which is great, but they stil call back. I think the dilemma is trying to figure out a way to stop the calls from happening in the first place & not just finding a way of dealing with them after they've called you.
+Cameron Finch They will call you back if you keep them on the phone as they're getting paid of course to be on the phone your not. I hardly get phone calls from them cause when they call i just hang up. That was last year and only at least 1 call a month.
I still don't see how they can shut down a call center in India if they can't even extradite most people for murder. You have a weird misunderstanding of how things work on earth.
I think we should record each call and email the file to the CRTC. There are a lot of phone aps that automatically record every phone conversation, I have it on my cell.
@@tcolondovich2996 They're still a business, and like any business, they'll only invest in a plan that is profitable, meaning they're scoring sales from customers falling for their calls. The only real way to stop them is to better educate the public into always saying no, that way these call centers will go out of business.
@@pieRana Fair enough, although I'd like to add: People don't usually listen to advice unless forced to. They might still have enough business even with an educated population that they wouldn't go out of business completely. Not to mention how many countries this happens in. (I live in the USA and get these calls all the time.)
Just let your friends know that your screen your calls and never pick up your phone let it go straight to the answering machine. In about eight months the calls will start trickling off as you get struck from their call lists.
Speak very softly and they'll think something is wrong with their headsets and will turn up the volume Then blast an air horn and they'll stop calling REAL fast
I wonder if CRTC is getting some sort of kick backs from these call centres. The first thing they need to do is to stop spoofing. I have had calls from some of these companies from my own number. If you are a Canadian company and your number is used this way, your company's name appears on a call display. How is that for ruining your reputation.
ingoleg oleg This happened to me too. I received an angry message on my phone from the person telling me to stop trying to call them about a cruise and I let them know that they were being scammed and not by me. It was awful to know that not only was I being spam called by local numbers that likely belonged to other people, but that it was happening with my number as well. This is horrible that this program was done years ago but nothing has changed, if not it has become worse.
ingoleg oleg Spoofing should be illegal. Some collection agencies are spoofing too. People have no idea that their phone number is being used to harass people until they get irate calls from people. Nobody does anything about it.
ingoleg oleg The Problem is the CRTC needs to get up off their ass and do something. If the CBC was able to track these guys down the CRTC should be able to as well. They just want to collect a paycheck and not do anything. I have filed a complaint with the CRTC before about excessive violence on daytime TV they did absolutely nothing. The workers there just collect a government pension and a government paycheque THATS IT!
Scott Crichton Something wrong with your remote control that you couldn't change from the channel showing stuff you didn't approve of, ya fundamentalist control freak? Just because you can't control your spawn's viewing habits is not sufficient reason to censor what the rest of the free, mature, and educated world watches. The problem, dear douchebag, is not with your government but with you..
ingoleg oleg I highly doubt they are getting kickbacks. I betting this agency doesn't have the proper funding nor the man power to really do anything. They also have other crap to deal with and more Canadians should start paying their fair share so the government agencies can be properly funded.
You are absolutely correct. There is no system they have where they can ADD a number on any list that says, DNC. Read my other comments left here that will explain WHY or HOW they get your number!
I still get calls..."I'm calling about cleaning your air ducts" GRRR. I got rid of my land line as a result. The number of phone calls was driving me bonkers. Answering machine full of calls from these guys. It never ends.
Watching this I realized it's been probably ten years since I had my air ducts cleaned. Does anybody know a company that I can call and set up an appointment.
I live in an apartment building, got sick and tired of the calls so told them i lived in a 3000 square foot building they offer me a 20% discount. next day when the duct cleaning company drove by in the truck they slowed down seen the building and kept going. about an hour later they called to see how my service call went and I told the guy they slowed down seen I was in an apartment building and just kept going. The guy said if you live in an apartment building why did you tell us to come. I told him it was to waste their time just like they had been wasting mine for the last 2 years. Glad to say still have not had a call back from them since. now how to stop the dang CRA callers.
I love calling these guys. Got an IRS scammer number. The guy's name was "John Conners." I got him to block my number. Since then I've setup a system where I can call them from a spoofed number. Called a tech support scammer for 3 days straight, claiming I worked there and asking when the vending machine is going to be fixed.
Don't know all that much about terminator... I did do the whole "I'm looking for john Connors" thing when I called him back after he hung up. I also went along with the scam and "drove" for 45 minutes to Walmart (played video games with him on hold for 45 minutes). When I "got to Walmart" he goes off to get the info for me to wire the money to. He gets back and I say "Johnny... we kinda got a situation here..." I told him I tried to rob the Walmart
I always answer the same thing to telemarketers....."Thank you for calling Dominoes where you get a large pizza and a second pizza half price. Pick up or delivery Bro?" I never hear from the same marketer twice. My wife and kids always laugh at this.
CBC did the phone ringing to bring the effect of constant calls into reality. Even though you get that people get constant calls, CBC makes the effect annoying so you really understand.
I'm here in 2019, and these Duct Cleaning bastards still phone me once every 2-3 weeks. It's ridiculous. At least this video helps explain to me what's actually going on.
Dannymalt I just tell them can you wash my powerwheels for my kids. And while they're at it come fix my 15 yr old computer. All my games disappeared. And that you don't have internet! I just screw with them all day id when they call! Ha ha!! Love when they say there BOB , Jack , John! Get a real job!!!
If they "can't do anything" (read WON'T do anything) then taxpayers money is being wasted and the office/bureau needs to be shut down. No sense in spending hard earned money and get absolutely nothing for it! Such a scam! Contact whatever gov official you can and complain!! Insist they either actually do something or shut it down!
With caller ID, I never answer a call from a number I don't recognize. Anyone I want to talk to is in my phone's contact list. Once a call goes to digital recorder. If they say their name and reason for the call. If it's kosher; I can either pick up in the middle of the recording, or call them back. I don't get many repeat calls from the same place.
The result is- people simply dont answer their phone anymore. To the person who said who has land line anymore, umm- cell phones get just as many calls. Robo calls are bad, and AI calls are starting. I begged the powers that be to do something... and no action, so I choose not to have a phone. Yup. I communicate via my computer. No phone. No calls.
Why do I keep getting calls from numbers that are "not in working order", "unassigned", or other issues that make it impossible to dial them back or trace them?
@caramelcop cat congrats for stating the obvious, when the joke was about it being 1.6 million indian phone calling scammers and not the total population of earth
Wait so if they are advertising for duct cleaning. then there has to be a physical company coming to clean ducts, why not target them? Why not order their services and fine the people that turn up.
Mirna Habbal You clearly see at the end of the video the company is real and they actually attend to the home. I am just sure why the government is not fining them instead of going after the company in god knows where.
No thankyou I actually went to the link in the description but I was turned off by their comment section. There were no comments but read the rules and you’ll see why. It’s so odd that they insist on real names when they are showing us what scammers can do to real names. It is now wonder you have 0 commentsCBC
THEY getting smart using phone numbers and also, they getting to a point they will hack or tap your phone with a voice message added then hack your data to that phone and start bothering other people you have not been in contact with...
@@QueensCage They cannot download anything to your phone without your permission. If they send a text message, simply delete the message without opening. A voice message cannot carry a malicious payload.
Back in the day, when receiving a telemarketing call (always during dinner), my father would put the handset on the counter. He would then hang up an hour or so later. 😂😂😂
Yup I did that once, too. Hard to believe there was a time when, if both parties didn't hang up, the Bell Telephone Co. would keep the connection going.
@therodyman700 *It's not strange at all.* 1. Even if the authorities somehow could find them, they're in a completely different country far away which they have no jurisdiction over. 2. To trace an IP address, it means first having to connect with your machine over the internet. This will only occur for the remote tech support scams, not any other phone call or telemarketing. 3. Even with an IP address, it doesn't tell you the address where the person lives. Only the country, and _possibly_ the city, or nearby city. 4. IP addresses can be routed through other servers such as VPNs, in which case the location that it links to would be completely invalid.
This exists because they know the CRTC can only fine local companies. Yes they easily could find them. But its a waste of resources if you cannot fine them and apply the law. So unless the feds have a deal with that country nothing will be done. Basically theres a big chance a few canadians own these telemarketing places off shore , then they sell the leads for whatever services to local companies here by a website or something.
This reminds me of that movie taken, the second that guy says "hello I am from air duct cleaning service" I just wanna stand over him and say "I told you I'd find you"
I usually play the role of a confused old man who asks the caller a lot of questions. Then I confuse them but asking dumb questions about their replies; always being courteous but seemingly confused. I waste as much time as possible for them until they give up and hang up on me. It is fun to hear the frustration in their voices.
I actually act and I can do great kid voices and impressions but the sick thing is they sometimes start getting sexual and ask what kind of underwear I'm wearing.. >_
It's very easy to get them to stop calling. Keep them on the line for as long as possible. Make up excuses, give them false details, addresses, cc info etc. You can find generators for all these things. If they hang up on you keep calling back and keep asking to be transferred to the person you were speaking to originally. Eventually they will rage at you and usually will block your number.
You do realise that it is not one guy who calls you? If you get bombarded by say 20 telemarketer calls, would you spend 15 minutes on each call frustrating them and spend 15*20= 300 minutes or 6 Hours/day doing this, or simply say "this number is on DNC" & hang up taking 5 seconds, 5*20=100 seconds >2 Minutes/day?
I just go into some long and complicated story , which i interrupt periodically telling them how desperately I need their service / product, the rude bastards usually hand up after less than 10 minutes.
please don't use the whistle someone could use the whistle on you too. NOT that I'm trying to put the whistle and the deaf people out of business...................

And having lots, and lots of meetings at that beautiful huge meeting table. The CRTC just like the USA's DNC lists are noting but paper tigers, run by government bureaucrats buying their time til they can collect their pensions.

A couple things I do when they call
-act like i speak Spanish then English again
-try to sell them car insurance
-or do an Indian accent and say I’m like 2 booths down don’t call me
option B play this to the phone, dont say anything and they usually stop calling you

Typical worthless government agency that has no problem collecting taxes, but does everything they can just like this lady to make excuses. And you can see in her eyes, she can careless, 'we are the government, what are YOU going to do about it, nothing.' Governments have no purpose and are useless!!
Have fun with it, turn it into one of life's little pleasures. Use a headset so you can do other things at the same time,
dishes, house work. Put the telemarketer on hold for 30 seconds, pick up and say "Are you still there ? Hold on, I'll
be right back". Make a long list of excuses, someone at the door, gotta change my batteries, see if you can keep
them on the phone for 30 minutes. Tell your friends, turn it into a competition, if enough people do this, their
industry will collapse.
bats...,
I ask them if they are wearing underwear. I tell them I'm naked.....I ask them to do things for me...
When they hang up, I'm the one with the grin............
batsondceiling 833-223-6881 feel free to have fun with these guys. They not only call me they txt me. I’ve txted them a link to this video like 100 times
When I figure out how to block my number :)
That's what I do, I ask them personal questions & make it as ridiculous as possible.
But those people need these jobs to put food in their mouths. Just hang up.
The best way to deal with them is to make your phone a paid line. You rake in cash while the telemarketers think that they're coming closer to making a sale. It's worked for several people in the states and one guy even gets an extra USD$500 or more every month because of it.
I was thinking about this. I wanted to see if I could do that and restrict that service to select countries. Make some money while I'm at it.
How do
Perfect.

Even funnier, I live in a country where the company pays wages that you can live off. Thus eliminating the need for tipping. After all they employed you, they can pay you.

3. Throw That phone in the trash as well.
4. Install a scam blocking app on your cell phone, no one uses house phones anymore
For real, it's really not that hard.
I use binary. It's a five digit code I can do with either hand. Some people only use the index finger. Ancient civilizations from the 1940s to the 1950s called it the finger. In BINARY it's either on or it's off. My phone is off.
Well you’re obviously right but, You are wrong....I refuse to fry my brain with your cell phone.
I have 3 scam blocking apps on my phone and I’ve received 217 calls since Auguat

And you are psychic and have a way of tracking them down. You obviously didn't get the message that they are "virtually" untraceable, and good luck on convictions in a lot of countries, especially 3rd world, even if they have a lot of computer literate people there.
Anyone who calls her "old" must be, say, fourteen their selves.
Anytime a telemarketer calls me I just do one long continuous scream into my phone until they hang up
Jemaine Clement You sir, win at life.

It's better to waste their time than to do that.
I've always handed the phone to my toddler (when she was a toddler) and let them talk to her.

omg that was hilarious
thug life
I like to spend around 15 minutes making them think they’re going to get a sale then tell them they have wasted their time and invite them to try again any time.
That is the best strategy; to waste their time. They will take you off their list if you do this enough.
Most of the time they get paid by the hour, so that doesn't really affect them.
too bad some telemarketers operate differently in other parts of the world. In HK, every 5mins a telemarketer can hold a conversation with you, they get a little over 70USD. so, cancel the call at 4min 50 sec lol.
They will never stop bugging you then and even up the number,of calls out,of spite
The laws don't apply for those foreign workers. How would you enforce it? Probably picking up the phone keeps you on the call list too, screen your calls bro.
Read my top post. You have to make them know you know where they are - we have "super trackers " now and they are being hunted down in their own land !
Watch your back now, bye.
The Governments around the world could easily end this by imposing sanctions on countries like India, Pakistan, Nigeria etc. until they fix their mess within their countries. But unfortunately, it's not on their priorities list.
Book the air cleaning service - when the company shows up - dont answer the door - leave a note on the door "You have been booked by scammers in Pakistan" Go complain to them.

Does anyone actually say, "Why, yes, I DO need my air ducts cleaned! Come right over!"
@Marketplace,
This is the real journalism you're doing. Thank you for this.
The spokes lady from the CRTC is quick to tell everyone what a good a job they are doing, but slow at REALLY doing something about Telemarketers who violate the rules. Like almost all Government Bureaucrats her number one concern is her paycheck; as long as it's coming in, she couldn't care less if the agency is doing anything. These people believe the real job of the CRTC is to provide them with a job. Years ago during Lyndon Johnson's war on poverty a local "charitable" group in my home town was given a one million Dollar grant from the Federal Government to help elevate poverty in their community. After over a year had passed, the ten people who ran the "charity" had a nice office, but nothing else to show for the million dollars that had been spent. An audit showed some of the money had been spent on renting the furnished office, and the rest had been pocked by the "charity " workers. At their trial for theft of grant funds, the defendants claimed they had helped ten families get off welfare; THEIR ten families. They went to jail for a while, and when they got out they rejoined their families who had gone back on welfare. The CRTC is much like that "charitable" organization.
Well David's problem is he's still using a rotary phone lol
Robert Dambeck why I'm I not surprised....
I wonder if David even knows what a cellphone is.. let alone the internet.
heh... but I think that rotary phone is just a prop.
Why does the entire interview insist I constantly ringing the phone. I get it, just tell the story.
How is that a problem?
Good God CBC.
This was a pretty good 2 minute story edited and played 10 different ways.
I am curious to know. well what happens hypothetically if I say yes i want my air ducts cleaned. What do they do? Send someone from Pakistan to clean the air ducts?
Pasta Chocolate: Your so Right 👍
In-source it to a local company near the customer and mark up 50%(their cut )? Idk if "in-source" is a word, but lol.
Make it illegal to clean air ducts in canada.........problem solved...
good plan ... or at least make it illegal for companies to use telemarketers that don't follow the law - do them for conspiracy to circumvent the DNC list regulations.
Fete Fatale Its already illegal. And people really do need to clean air ducts, but thats a service thats done when needed and not done when the salesmen wants.
Lol everything is illegal here already.
Or just launch a massive education programme to let everyone know about their scams.. That way if no one buys from them they go out of business. Problem solved

ColicoVis they physically can't they are too polite
no they get so angry they can spit
ah, canadians, just lovely.
Its called harassment dude let me call your house 4 times a day for the next year and let me see how you would feel. Its not just Canadians its everywhere.
I mean I already do, Canadians aren't the only ones dealing with telemarketers (for me it's "resort stays" and "time share opportunities" but I just hang up. 15 seconds tops, and I go back to do whatever I was doing.
you can always answer in " Conversational Klingon " .
Robert miller LOL Love it!
And always call them the son of a hundred fathers. They love that.
Whenever a telemarketer calls, I act like an 8 year old and say "Herro? This is panda wok, what would you like to order?" It's quite fun to see there reactions.
I'm going to try that one!
I mess with them too. People don't realize the OPPORTUNITY to use the telemarketers as free entertainment. I started doing it out of frustration, but now.....i get giddy when I get one. 😁
next time i get the call i want to say that LOL. some time i would say this is mental health department then they hang up too lol.
These people STILL call me -_- .. They really do get rude and have said some really inappropriate things to say sometimes.. Ughh.. I can't stand them
I usually give them two.. maybe three chances to take me off their list.. after that, I start having fun with the calls. My favorite are the "Microsoft Tech Support" ones.
Katie Jeanes Book an appointment give a commercial address not yours once scammed your off their list. Works for me in Calgary
I've gotten so upset over phone numbers I don't recognize, I do not ANSWER the phone UNLESS I recognize the number calling me, although most of the time I tell everyone that I know to leave me a message, and I will call you right back if I'm home....and this works better for me.
They still call you? Really ? Because you keep answering your damn phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for you ! That's what I do as well and I love my privacy.
two ways to stop this
1. do not engage with them, put down the phone once you know who they are
2. keep them on the phone as long as possible, waste as much of their time as possible. Get them to spend a log time thinking they are getting what they want, then tell them you are wasting their, they wont call you again
But that doesn't STOP them. You can hang up or string them along, which is great, but they stil call back. I think the dilemma is trying to figure out a way to stop the calls from happening in the first place & not just finding a way of dealing with them after they've called you.
+Cameron Finch They will call you back if you keep them on the phone as they're getting paid of course to be on the phone your not.
I hardly get phone calls from them cause when they call i just hang up. That was last year and only at least 1 call a month.
TomGreek1980 surely these guys have targets though? if you keep them on the phone and they dont get a sale then they have wasted all that time
Carlia Y the only way i can think of is to get rid of your landline
+Cameron Finch They can call cell phones too.
Forward your calls to CRTC every one...I bet you would get some action out of them then!!!
I still don't see how they can shut down a call center in India if they can't even extradite most people for murder. You have a weird misunderstanding of how things work on earth.
I think we should record each call and email the file to the CRTC. There are a lot of phone aps that automatically record every phone conversation, I have it on my cell.
@@pieRana I still don't see how that'll stop an Indian call center from spoofing phone numbers. That's how it works.
@@tcolondovich2996 They're still a business, and like any business, they'll only invest in a plan that is profitable, meaning they're scoring sales from customers falling for their calls. The only real way to stop them is to better educate the public into always saying no, that way these call centers will go out of business.
@@pieRana Fair enough, although I'd like to add: People don't usually listen to advice unless forced to. They might still have enough business even with an educated population that they wouldn't go out of business completely. Not to mention how many countries this happens in. (I live in the USA and get these calls all the time.)
I don’t answer my phone if I don’t know who it is.
Sk Sk Bingo. 👍🏻
The phone still rings. That's enough of an annoyance in and of itself.
firebird65 yes but then they think you’re away so they stop calling also use mobile phones and put it on silent but unsilent you’re contact list
Yes, THOSE telemarketers stop calling. But there's always more telemarketers. They are like roaches.
Same here. And if it rings I just press the volume button on my iPhone and it stops the sounds.
We have the same problem in the US, I get about 15-20 a day.
I get hundreds of calls a day ! I'll trade you.
Me too they call at least 30 times a day. All times of day and night. Lets find them. Anybody help.
tyler496121 yup !!!!!
Just let your friends know that your screen your calls and never pick up your phone let it go straight to the answering machine. In about eight months the calls will start trickling off as you get struck from their call lists.
Speak very softly and they'll think something is wrong with their headsets and will turn up the volume
Then blast an air horn and they'll stop calling REAL fast
I wonder if CRTC is getting some sort of kick backs from these call centres. The first thing they need to do is to stop spoofing. I have had calls from some of these companies from my own number. If you are a Canadian company and your number is used this way, your company's name appears on a call display. How is that for ruining your reputation.
ingoleg oleg This happened to me too. I received an angry message on my phone from the person telling me to stop trying to call them about a cruise and I let them know that they were being scammed and not by me. It was awful to know that not only was I being spam called by local numbers that likely belonged to other people, but that it was happening with my number as well. This is horrible that this program was done years ago but nothing has changed, if not it has become worse.
ingoleg oleg Spoofing should be illegal. Some collection agencies are spoofing too. People have no idea that their phone number is being used to harass people until they get irate calls from people. Nobody does anything about it.
ingoleg oleg The Problem is the CRTC needs to get up off their ass and do something. If the CBC was able to track these guys down the CRTC should be able to as well. They just want to collect a paycheck and not do anything. I have filed a complaint with the CRTC before about excessive violence on daytime TV they did absolutely nothing. The workers there just collect a government pension and a government paycheque THATS IT!
Scott Crichton Something wrong with your remote control that you couldn't change from the channel showing stuff you didn't approve of, ya fundamentalist control freak? Just because you can't control your spawn's viewing habits is not sufficient reason to censor what the rest of the free, mature, and educated world watches. The problem, dear douchebag, is not with your government but with you..
ingoleg oleg I highly doubt they are getting kickbacks. I betting this agency doesn't have the proper funding nor the man power to really do anything. They also have other crap to deal with and more Canadians should start paying their fair share so the government agencies can be properly funded.
January 31, 2020! They are now calling my cell phones.
Silly Canadians: The Do Not Call List doesn't apply to scammers.
this is good for deleting try again not ot be so annoying
You are absolutely correct. There is no system they have where they can ADD a number on any list that says, DNC. Read my other comments left here that will explain WHY or HOW they get your number!
The DNC list is simply a list of active telephone numbers in Canada that scammers can easily get access to.
The CRTC spokesperson hasn't done any work in a decade. I'd bet anything
Now there's an accurate statement.
His biggest mistake is saying "yes..." While being called by someone they don't know
Tyler Mustard You're absolutely right, they could record that and use it to where it sounds like you've agreed to something, then you're screwed
Yes! Once i got a scam call and a robot was like "hello, hello? Can you hear me?"
I still get calls..."I'm calling about cleaning your air ducts" GRRR. I got rid of my land line as a result. The number of phone calls was driving me bonkers. Answering machine full of calls from these guys. It never ends.
Watching this I realized it's been probably ten years since I had my air ducts cleaned. Does anybody know a company that I can call and set up an appointment.
Hello, this is duct cleaning services. How are you today?
Call a LOCAL legitimate HVAC company. This may seem odd, but look them up in a real phone book. They likely have a real address, phone, staff, etc.

Dave Winfrey lol
I live in an apartment building, got sick and tired of the calls so told them i lived in a 3000 square foot building they offer me a 20% discount. next day when the duct cleaning company drove by in the truck they slowed down seen the building and kept going. about an hour later they called to see how my service call went and I told the guy they slowed down seen I was in an apartment building and just kept going. The guy said if you live in an apartment building why did you tell us to come. I told him it was to waste their time just like they had been wasting mine for the last 2 years. Glad to say still have not had a call back from them since. now how to stop the dang CRA callers.

You can't load the Truecaller app on a rotary phone
One does not. It's a landline not a fucken cellphone.
CRTC is trying to find a solution...It has been 4 years and nothing has happened.
Just get a modern phone so you can just block the numbers. If they keep calling just keep blocking until none are left to call back.
Truth Hurts they always change numbers. They dont stay the same so that wouldn't work.
Always another number
Kyou Kuni yes, I've tried that too, they just call you back from a different number, frustrating.
I have an s8. Blocking them is no use. They change their phone number every hour and send me text messages and calls.

Originally broadcast in 2013 and these guys are still going strong.
I love calling these guys.
Got an IRS scammer number. The guy's name was "John Conners."
I got him to block my number.
Since then I've setup a system where I can call them from a spoofed number.
Called a tech support scammer for 3 days straight, claiming I worked there and asking when the vending machine is going to be fixed.
TurtleSauceGaming you should have told hm a t1000 would come for him
Don't know all that much about terminator... I did do the whole "I'm looking for john Connors" thing when I called him back after he hung up.
I also went along with the scam and "drove" for 45 minutes to Walmart (played video games with him on hold for 45 minutes). When I "got to Walmart" he goes off to get the info for me to wire the money to. He gets back and I say "Johnny... we kinda got a situation here..." I told him I tried to rob the Walmart

How about getting a job in a nice plush office, getting paid to say "there's nothing we can do" ? Sweet.
Capt Larry - my life
If they "can't do anything" (read WON'T do anything) then taxpayers money is being wasted and the office/bureau needs to be shut down.
No sense in spending hard earned money and get absolutely nothing for it! Such a scam!
Contact whatever gov official you can and complain!! Insist they either actually do something or shut it down!
With caller ID, I never answer a call from a number I don't recognize. Anyone I want to talk to is in my phone's contact list.
Once a call goes to digital recorder. If they say their name and reason for the call. If it's kosher; I can either pick up in the middle of the recording, or call them back.
I don't get many repeat calls from the same place.
The result is- people simply dont answer their phone anymore. To the person who said who has land line anymore, umm- cell phones get just as many calls. Robo calls are bad, and AI calls are starting. I begged the powers that be to do something... and no action, so I choose not to have a phone. Yup. I communicate via my computer. No phone. No calls.
Why do I keep getting calls from numbers that are "not in working order", "unassigned", or other issues that make it impossible to dial them back or trace them?
You can’t stop them
There are like 1.6 billion of them
Carlos Sanchez Actually more like around 620 million

+Shini do wish the vid went into that but i can't find the part 2

Hello sir, I am calling from Air Duck cleaning services.
Air duck
Air duck.
Air duck.
Air duck.
CBC Marketplace is one of the best investigative shows ever. Thanks!
Back in the day, when receiving a telemarketing call (always during dinner), my father would put the handset on the counter. He would then hang up an hour or so later. 😂😂😂
Yup I did that once, too. Hard to believe there was a time when, if both parties didn't hang up, the Bell Telephone Co. would keep the connection going.
Fabulous... I loved this investigative report... This is journalism at it's best.
I find it funny that the authorities can't find them yet on youtube there are 100's of video's of people tracing their IP and Ddosing them
Exactly!
@therodyman700
*It's not strange at all.*
1. Even if the authorities somehow could find them, they're in a completely different country far away which they have no jurisdiction over.
2. To trace an IP address, it means first having to connect with your machine over the internet. This will only occur for the remote tech support scams, not any other phone call or telemarketing.
3. Even with an IP address, it doesn't tell you the address where the person lives. Only the country, and _possibly_ the city, or nearby city.
4. IP addresses can be routed through other servers such as VPNs, in which case the location that it links to would be completely invalid.
In Canada nobody wants to rock the boat or do their job. Our country is a joke, i want to be American
This exists because they know the CRTC can only fine local companies. Yes they easily could find them. But its a waste of resources if you cannot fine them and apply the law. So unless the feds have a deal with that country nothing will be done. Basically theres a big chance a few canadians own these telemarketing places off shore , then they sell the leads for whatever services to local companies here by a website or something.
CRTC: "We are very happy with our own programme" sounds alot like "we investigated ourself and found we have done nohing wrong"
This reminds me of that movie taken, the second that guy says "hello I am from air duct cleaning service" I just wanna stand over him and say "I told you I'd find you"
Make your phone a paid line so that everytime they call you youll make money off them.
Donald Trump how
how does that work
500 SUBS WITHOUT ANY VIDEO yeah tell us how you do that
+Rebecca lord you mKe your number a restricted number in any country that is not yours and if they call you get $5-10 per minute
It's amazing how they take 20' to say what they could've said in 3.
So it takes them 20' feet.
The CBC need viewers, too, and they use the same devices to hold the viewer's attention as do the commercial channels.
I usually play the role of a confused old man who asks the caller a lot of questions. Then I confuse them but asking dumb questions about their replies; always being courteous but seemingly confused. I waste as much time as possible for them until they give up and hang up on me. It is fun to hear the frustration in their voices.
when one calls, answer and play a fax tone. they will mark it down as a fax macine
or pretend to be an operator saying - "you have reached a number that is out of service". Then Hang up.
true. or just press any button and hold it down to resemble a fax tone.
I just hand the phone to the nearest toddler, kids love talking on the phone lol.
This is exactly what I did until my toddlers were'nt toddlers anymore.
Until the telemarketer swears at the kids.
Unseenentity weren't*
I actually act and I can do great kid voices and impressions but the sick thing is they sometimes start getting sexual and ask what kind of underwear I'm wearing.. >_
Rebecca lord jajahajahahhahahaha
It's very easy to get them to stop calling. Keep them on the line for as long as possible. Make up excuses, give them false details, addresses, cc info etc. You can find generators for all these things. If they hang up on you keep calling back and keep asking to be transferred to the person you were speaking to originally. Eventually they will rage at you and usually will block your number.
You do realise that it is not one guy who calls you? If you get bombarded by say 20 telemarketer calls, would you spend 15 minutes on each call frustrating them and spend 15*20= 300 minutes or 6 Hours/day doing this, or simply say "this number is on DNC" & hang up taking 5 seconds, 5*20=100 seconds >2 Minutes/day?
@@hussainalmubarak5347 bruhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just go into some long and complicated story , which i interrupt periodically telling them how desperately I need their service / product, the rude bastards usually hand up after less than 10 minutes.
please don't use the whistle someone could use the whistle on you too. NOT that I'm trying to put the whistle and the deaf people out of business...................
