we keep getting calls from this number too...but haven't answered one yet

This same company ??? used to call from  800-736-7608
There is a recorded message that asks if you want to reduce the interest rate on your credit cards.
If you want to, press #1. Press #2 and you will not be bothered again. I have pressed #2 on repeated occasions, I have not answered on many occasions and I have have pressed #1 on several occasions and asked why they keep calling when I have told them I am not interested and to take my telephone number off of their list. When I do that, they hang up but keep calling back

800-736-7608 you mention is listed here:  http://fa.smithbarney.com/facilityfiles/sb005 ... e479a56b512.pdf

Filing formal complaints with the CRTC will do NOTHING. This is the same old scam with the callers coming from [***] countries like India or Pakistan and spoofing the number using Skype.

The only thing that will work is using a whistle when you pick up the phone. Eventually they'll get the idea after enough of their scammers get blown ear drums to take your number off the list.
