I agree with you Adam!
What I found is that this number actually belongs to an organization called Feature Films For Families. I contacted this number (tried a number of times actually) and finally got through. Long story short... this number took me to a call center based out of Barrie, Ontario. The Customer Service Representatives there can do two things for you. 1. Enter your number into the "Do Not Disturb" database to have it stricken & 2. Change the time of day the auto-dialers contact your home (apparently some people WANT this service - right...).
This organization uses a slew of numbers around the states to harass private citizens. I also found the following:
Lucre, Inc.
Grandrapids, Michigan

They lease the line to this company. I have verified this through my phone service provider and contacted them with a message to report the abuse.
I wish the powers that be (the CRTC for example) would listen to the public and just outlaw such practices. Then again, perhaps not enough of us citizens are concerned enough to get together and put an end to this crap! At the very least we know you and I aren't alone. LOL
