Pouria Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Has anyone had calls from this number: 604-558-0501 They call me multiple times and when I call back, it goes straight to their voice mail. Not sure how to deal with this since my phone service doesn't have a number block feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Phaneuf Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 It's somebody from CDC I've gotten calls like that though. Pick up and hang up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I googled the number and got "Advantage Plus Heating and Plumbing." http://www.advantage...om/contact.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 It's Advantage Plumbing & Heating...send an email to document that you want it to stop. You may be on an automated dialer or something.... Others are having the same issue it seems: http://www.callercenter.com/604-558-0501.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 It seems they have two phone numbers. I called 604 558 0502 to let them know that I want my number off their calling list. Hopefully it works and I don't get any more annoying calls from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 It would be nice if we had a "Red Flag phone number list" thread. I know this isn't really a red flag number, but it would be nice to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouria Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 B-B-But who's gonna call me from India to fix my computer then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The DNCL works - sometimes...at least once a month I get the famous automated computer message "Congratulations, you have been selected for an Air Miles Reward - press 1 to speak to a representative..." It has nothing to do with Air Miles - it's a scam. Report the number, it shuts down, and they come back with a new one. So now I just resort to my own way of dealing with them. I press 1, then turn the music up really loud until they hang up. Yeah, I know, not solving anything - but It makes me feel good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 They called me saying that my Windows has problems. I told them the jokes on you buddy, I have a mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 I sometimes play along. I act really panicked and ask if it is dangerous. Then I ask what can I do and of course they want me to log on to a website and I tell them wait a minute i have to turn on my computer... I can sometimes keep them hanging on 15 minutes or more as i feed them fake updates of boot problems my computer seems to be experiencing and I thank them for alerting me and ask if this is the sort of result. Then once I claim to have the computer booted up I continually mangle their instructions. Finally after stringing it out for as long as possible I then ask if it makes difference as I am using a Mac. One time I even got to go through he whole performance a second time when I told them that my wife used a Windows and maybe that was the problem computer. Good times.

Tearloch7 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 If you know it is an automated number dialer, pick up and immediately press the "#" key repeatedly .. apparently it scrambles their auto dialer and renders it useless for awhile .. it feels good too ..

Wetcoaster Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 That is hilarious. Its too bad they have all the time in the world to annoy people with their scams and we value our time. Sometimes it does make for good entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
