Government sold list to anyone and list got into hands of scammers outside of Canadian jurisdiction. Now scammers have a precise list with higher hit rate.

That's why I never bothered.

You got it backwards, just like your list.

Mr. Cran said his organization has opposed the registry from the outset. But even the CAC did not contemplate the possibility that telemarketing hucksters would buy and use registry data.

Really? Telemarketers are aware of currency transactions too? We never thought of that........morons.

How did they ever think this would work?

I haven't noticed any extra calls yet.

i would not be surprised to see legal action brought against the CRTC and Bell over this.

I got my first spam call on my cellphone this week.

Yeah I've got a couple on my cell this last month or 2, I'm not on that list though.

These are the first ones I've had on this cell number, having had it a few yrs now.

Yea I've been getting hammered.

I have 3 phones forwarded to my cell. I used to get 6 telemarketing calls a day, now I only get the odd one a week from the USA (the you've won a trip one).

The DNCL has worked wonders for me.

I'm glad I procrastinated when it came to putting my info on the list.

Except that your number has already been sold to, I assume, the majority of people who want to use it. Removing your name will just allow the legitimate telemarketers (I know...) to phone you as well.
