Expert Opinion

Ever wonder why your phone rings nonstop with silent drops and vague store invitations? The pattern points to a persistent robocall telemarketing operation targeting Quebec residents with fabricated new‑store openings and "free gift" offers. Callers often know your name and prior address, suggesting they’ve harvested data from outdated directories. The calls typically end in a brief music loop or hang‑up, a classic pressure‑tactic to elicit a callback. To curb the nuisance, enable carrier‑provided call‑blocking features, register the number with the National Do‑Not‑Call List, and file complaints with the CRTC. Consider a third‑party block‑list device for landlines, and never disclose personal details during unsolicited calls.
