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 Callers often know your name and prior address, suggesting they’ve harvested data from outdated directories.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.
These calls are not only unwanted and harassing but also likely criminal in nature, given the type of individuals who typically make such calls. This perpetrator has also been calling our other phones, which they've managed to obtain.

On June 25, 2024, at 10:12 a.m., I received a call from the number 1-438-809-2414, which was unidentified. The caller hung up upon answering, and when I redialed, I was met with techno music. After verifying, I found the number is operated by Iristel Inc. and originates from Montreal, QC. Notably, this is the third call from this number in 13 days.
Scam call pretending to be someone they're not.
Seems to be linked to a data breach at Tigre Geant
Using Videotron and their call blocking features isnt working for this number. Anyone else getting calls from this scam in Gatineau?
