(866) 794-2255

Called at 9:30 at night. I was not nice.

866-794-2255 - Just received five (5) back-to-back calls from this number on my cell phone.
FIVE (5)? They must REALLY want to talk to me, right?

I missed the calls as my phone was in the bedroom, and alas,
they didn't even bother to leave any messages for me.

I have a very Simple Rule regarding Missed Calls:
If you can't be bothered to leave me even a short message,
then I can't be bothered to take the time to call you back.

The strange thing is, Caller ID showed different names each time.
Either they have their outgoing ID showing up differently on the various phones throughout
their call center (which would be VERY strange indeed, as this would require some actual work
to change these, plus they are probably using a PBX system, which uses the same info for
EVERY phone located there) OR someone is spoofing their name and number.

On their website, it clearly states that they are supposedly EXEMPT from
the DNC Registry laws (I'm not sure this is actually true or not), but that
they also DO in fact have a DNC list that they use if you ask to be put on it.
Since they are located in Canada, they are somewhat exempt from USA DNC Laws,
BUT... Canada has some pretty strict DNC laws as well:
