The laws are obviously more lax in Canada reg telemarketers. I get recorded calls all the time...."Important notice about your credit card....", or...."the warranty may have run out on your vehicle". I get these two recorded calls, probably 20-30 times each per year. Oh, and there's the one where I've just won a "free" cruise to the Carribean---A friends wife fell for this one years ago. They gave them a free cruise alright, but there were "service charges" ect which brought the price over and above what they could have gotten the cruise for in the first place.
