Hi I found your thread while searching '305-675-6263' apparently they call businesses as well as cell phones. They've called my office at least 6 times in the past 5 days and I've listened to the messages then spoke to a representitive... when I spoke to the lady the first time she was polite and I asked her to please take me off the call list she said she would. Then I recieved a secon call a few min later, I then realized that it was calling on one of our other 6 lines. So I pressed 9 and spoke to the same woman. I told her that I just spoke with her to have my number taken off the call list but before I could tell her that we have 6 different phone #'s she barked into the phone that it will take up to 24hr's to remove the number and then she hung up. And to top it off I received another call today... this one was the cherry on top! They called today, this time a male telemarketer answered (TM)'hello' (Me)'hi I'd like to have my number taken off the call list please' (TM)'I don't have time for this I'm too busy' (Me) "excuse me? what kind of business is this?' (TM) 'F*** Off, You're a Canadian, you have no F***ing rights" then he hung up.
Needless to say I'm pretty pissed off...

well i feel that they are using an automatic dialer which just generates random numbers..but i think that it is odd that most of the calls are in canada....I was talking to a local police department and they said that they are calling canada b/c there is nothing that they can do due to jurisdictions and cross border stuff....but i will see if i can do something about this
-
o.k. for all the people that live in canada there is a number that u can call it is 1-888-495-8501 the name of the orginzations is Phonebusters and i received it from the Ontario Provincal Police their website is www.phonebusters.com but i didn't really find it at all helpful...

Hey everyone, I just got a call from the number 305-675-6263 also. This is a Miami based phone number, and that is all I could find out until of course I read all these postings. I live in Canada as well, and we have 2 lines (one listed and one unlisted). The listed one got the call first and I saw the number and didn't answer it - no message left. The unlisted got the call 40 minutes later and I did answer it, and I heard the recorded message about the free trip. I didn't press 9 or 8 - I said "eat ****" and hung up. I wasn't sure if I would be charged if I pressed one of those numbers or not - or what the deal is. I reported this to the phone/internet scammers for Canada (http://www.phonebusters.com/).
I say we all join up and harass them. Everyone get phone cards to call FL. and when you have some time, just keep calling that number and **** with them. If I get the opportunity I will ram my fist through someone's stomach.
Regards everyone.

not just cell phones...
Hi from SW Ontario.
This same number called my home line today as well, but left no message.
Given it looks like most of us are Canadian, who the **** does this one telemarket/scammer think he is, being so rude ("Oh, you're Canadian, you have no ****-ing rights"). :rolleyes: Wanker.
Odd how if this were a Canadian individual, it would be considered harassment, and charges would likely be laid in a case where multiple people are bothered. But this is an American company. I wonder if anything will come of any of us calling phonebusters.

Hey Hey,
This number seems to really be getting out of hand.... My suggestion to everyone would be reported... I'd call contact phonebusters but also the police (even if they can't do anything).... Either the OPP or RCMP (after all this is international harassment) and then I'd contact your Phone Service Provider... I'm sure if the Telco receives enough complaints that they have some sort of system in place that would give them the ability to prevent a number from contact any of their customers... a sort of global blacklist..
To give you an idea of where this is going from my end, I've had several friends who've had their home phones called... as well as co-workers who are receiving calls to their work numbers.
This seems to be getting very big and rather out of hand http://www.benedictionblogson.com/archives/001197.php is a blog that has had numerous posts regarding the number.
I'm actually going to contact my local press and see if that does anything..... Maybe public voice will be enough to get it to stop...
Peace

I just received a call from these guys last night as well. I used the 1-888 # from this forum to call them back, disguising my voice (Jamaican accent) and spoke with this guy named "Jeff". Of course I wasn't polite, but he wanted to one-up me by yelling obscenities. I called back demanding an apology and he was absolutely fuming. I called a couple of more times, since he conveniently mentioned that each time I call, he is charged for the 888 #.
So if your business or home is being harrassed by these individuals, just call and ask to speak with Jeff. Or anyone else, but I have a sweet spot for that ***hole. ;) They waste your time, you waste theirs, and their money.
And if things get out of hand, you can also call the Orlando police and report them. Info here:

If everyone who receives a call dials the 888 # and bothers them, it'll hopefully cost them a lot more money and give them less time to scam the public.

Hey Hey,
I sent an email to the newsdesk for my local newspaper... I haven't seen anything yet... but I'm watching, if anyone else is interested in keeping an eye on it, their website is http://www.lfpress.com.
I've also been contacted by another number... I didn't listen all the way through (I dislike long distance charges, but it seemed to start off the same way). This time the number was 214-279-0990... This area code seems to originate from the Texas area.... I'm going to attempt to call it back this evening and see what happens.... I'll let you know the results.
Peace,
HT
