So these calls are coming from YOU. Nice try spammer

Take a hike spammer, go sell your warez somewhere else, not here

I've been getting a lot of these calls and have stopped answering any with area codes or fishy looking numbers.  It's actually easy to spot a fake number and these morons haven't figured that out.  Anyway, until I stopped answering, the [***] accents were the first giveaway and the incomprehensible pronunciation and poor connections would be a great tip that this business is not legitimate nor one that could in a million years help me with my business.  Here is a tip to these scammers.  One, employ white people who have a working knowledge of English and have good pronunciation.  Two, get a real phone number that also displays a business name.  You can change it every two hours so you can't be found but no one trusts a phone call from a [***] or a fake phone number.  In any case, good luck finding a moron to fall for your scam anyway.  What you don't understand is that if I want the service, I will use Google to find a legit one.  I don't use any business or service that cold calls me.  That is so 1970.    

Tracie, if you do not recognize the number or it is our of your error.  99% of the time it is a scammer.  Do not answer it.
If it is important they will leave a message. and you can call back.  If you answer it tells them that it is a good number and they resale your number to other people looking for numbers.  I cannot believe it is worth the trouble they use call so many people who HATE THEM.  
I sometimes answer these call and scream into the phone. ..."the job is done, there is blood everywhere, run, run run"  and I hang up.  Let them stew on that for a while.  ha.

(got called by this number today, but missed it, found the forum, their pulling #'s from kijiji in ontario)

If you're bored, keep them on the line as long as possible.  Watch tv, surf the internet, but keep saying "tell me more, how much can I spend", and drag out the call.  Hanging up just puts them on to the next cold call, instead, make the [***] inefficient, take some joy in ruining their day.  

I once had a CC company call me about a tenant of mine who owed them money, and would call back continuously unless I "put him on the phone".  So I just laughed and asked what he thought about the superbowl, if there were any schools he recommended in Ottawa, etc, etc.  They stopped bothering me.
