Stop being a deadbeat and just send those iTunes gift cards to CRA …..gawd

Costco has CRA gift cards now.

I was getting them twice a day all last week....it's a bit annoying but it seems like they stop after awhile, haven't had any since, don't stress out about it, not worth it.

I've had my ducts cleaned 3x this month and they're still hounding me.

Time to get your ducts in a row then?

Same here, the calls have resumed as of late.

You guys must have your number on some bathroom stall somewhere. I am lucky if I get 1 or 2 weird calls a month.

I have call control on my cell which has stopped spam dead on that number.

If you are on TELUS, enable call control. it makes people calling you have to press a random digit to complete the call. Robo calls can't figure the system out, so the calls never come to you or your voicemail.

I answer and hang up so I don't have to go through the process of deleting their Chinese song on my voicemail. Is there a better way to terminate them without answering?

I find they are most often spoofed with a number that has the same prefix as mine.
So if my number was 403-328-2868 then they will call from 403-328- xXxX to increase my chances of answering.

Hit the Red "Hang Up" button or the "Call Screen" button and you are good to go. There will not be a voicemail to deal with. Don't just "mute" the ringer or ignore it, or yeah the voicemails get problematic.
Although, I'm thinking of just turning voicemail off on my phone Fuck voicemail, it's a tool that has no relevance in this century.

I had one the other day with the caller ID spoofed as "Great West Life". Had to look up the number to figure out it was another spam call.

I just don’t even answer my phone when it’s a number I don’t know

If it’s important they will leave a VM. That’s where voicemail is valuable imo.

Google Call Screen is as good as it gets.

If it's someone from this century, they should hang up and text. Voicemail is a human rights abuse.
