Okay, whoever owns 416 000 9946 (and all other 000 prefix exchanges) needs to sit on a machete without lube and drag their ass around their living room carpet like a dog with worms. These annoying telemarketers are almost Simpsonesque in it’s execution, but no where near as funny: phone rings and there’s either a really long pause then hang up, because the idiots operating the autodialer have the brains the size of pine nuts, or the uninteresting recording rambles on about crap I don’t need.
Yes, I’ve stopped answering it, since it’s tagged to my cell phone (hmmm, Rogers, I wonder how they got that number since I’ve only ever given that out to family) and that shit eventually costs money. And before you suggest it, the Canadian Do Not Call list is managed by ear puss leaking drooling fucktards who managed to sell the list to scammers, spammers and dicks.
Here’s one for free, Rogers (or any other telecommunications company): since you care so much to filter spam on the internet, why not man up and offer a block on all xxx-000-xxxx number, for free! You’ll have people flock to your service, I betcha!

But the factory warranty on your car is about to expire! Don’t you want to know about it?
(I like how I get these twice a day and don’t even have a car. Fuckers. Should do this to them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI )
Um, that’s MY number. Why don’t you pick up??? 🙁
I’ve had the same problem, only with my Vonage-VOIP landline. I’m shocked at the amount of buck-passing and finger-pointing when I tried to get 000 (and clearly-spoofed) numbers reported and blocked. There’s no facility to do either, apparently.
Eventually they stopped when I merely answered the phone by picking it up and leaving the handset on my desk for 15 or 20 minutes, hearing “hello? hello?” faintly in the background. And did that 10 or so times.
