How to stop BC Pub Sectors telemarketing calls!
Summary — +16044823100
Expert Opinion
Late Thursday evenings often bring calls from 604‑482‑3100, and many recipients describe a persistent pitch for children’s books presented as a charitable cause. The pattern points to a telemarketing operation that masquerades as a non‑registered charity, using vague scripts and heavy accents to avoid clear disclosure. If you’re on the national Do Not Call list, you can still report the number to the CRTC and ask your carrier to block it. Hang up without engaging, never provide personal or payment information, and consider filing a complaint with the FTC if the calls continue. Staying vigilant and using call‑blocking tools are the best defenses.

Its a scam, they are pretending to advertise in a magazine for a great deall
The caller transfered me to some guy who said they were making a magazine for Canadian veterans. He wanted me to support it, but it sounds like a total scam.
So sick of these calls from 604-482-3100. I'm on the National Do Not Call List, but they still keep calling. Whats the point of even having the list?

Today, a lady called from this number, claiming to be from "BC Pub Sectors". She asked for my last name, but didnt use a title like Mr. or Mrs. I had trouble understanding her due to her accent and fast speach. They put me on hold with some classical music, and I ended up hanging up. Glad I did, after reading these comments.
Blocked this number using my Panosonic cordless phone's feature.
Ugh, can't take these anoying calls anymore. They just keep calling from diffrent numbers and I'm a night owl, so they always wake me up during the day. So frustating!

Great experience! The caller was very helpful and polite.
Got two calls from 'BC Pub Sectors' (aka 1-604-482-3100) today - lady with a thick accent said she had a message about 'children's safety books'. No thanks - asked 'em to remove me from their list.
Just got a bill from these scammers for a 'directory listing' I never heard of. Did some reserch - they're based in Vancouver, and their 'office' looks dodgy. No one's heard of them or their magazine at local medical services.
Been getting calls from this charity for years - donated twice, but the last invoice said they werent a registered charity. Called me in December saying they'd only call every two years now... and asked for a bigger donation. Said they'd take whatever I could give, but the invoice had a higher ammount than I was willing to pay. Anoyed, so I didnt donate. Been getting daily calls since - no messages left. Is this a legit charity?
Reading these coments made me realize I've been a fool for three years, believing they wanted cash for kids' books. Asked for reciepts, but never got any. Husband took a call from them today - they just said they'd call again later. Thanks for opening my eyes!
This number is used by a charity that supports Easter Story Books.
Before being cut off by voice mail, I was treated to a brief three minutes of classical piano.
