I’ve been receiving 3-4 phonecalls per week from call centers where the caller is always Indian and they’re all calling about a special promotion from one of the big three telecom companies.

I actually registered my phone on the no call list from the federal government. I’m not even a customer of the big three. (Videotron in Quebec ftw) So I shouldn’t be receiving these calls. I’ve also asked multiple times not to be called again. But they still call.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you deal with it?

    Another preventative thing I do that I speculate is effective is I don’t enter my phone number in online forms unless it’s something important to me. They already have an email address of my choosing. Most online shopping, “Contact us” forms - heck no, I’m not entering my phone number. They don’t need it. I don’t want them to reach me by it. I usually provide valid local #s of large businesses or organizations if a form requires a number
