Have you ever received a telephone call along the lines of

"Hi my name is ___________, and I'm calling with Digital Security Systems, along with General Electric, would I happen to be speaking with the Owner of the House?"

or

"Hi my name is ___________, and I'm calling with Digital Security Systems, your authorized ADT dealer would I happen to be speaking with the Owner of the House?"

Just wondering who our call centre has reached. :)

Dol - it is possible that she has been called. We only phoned Wheatley for several days, but maybe that's all it takes to phone the whole little town.

Katie - Very likely she has been called. We have run through Calgary several times, a full run through takes months.

AC - Is he in Edmonton proper? If not, it depends on where he is located. He strikes me as a rural guy.

Sue - In the Vancouver area, the calling is generally focused on suburbs like West/North Van, Burnaby, Coquitlam, etc. But there were some calls in the city itself. I don't know if her island is considered to be part of Vancouver itself for not.

Nope, doesn't ring a bell. Although I don't pick up if the call display says 'out of area' or private, so could've missed it. We get losts of septic tank service telemarketing calls, but I guess that's not you. :P

We are often lumped in with West Van, not so much with Vancouver proper.

If I've been called, I always say "I rent" and that's the end of that. I get calls for windows and security systems on occasion, so I'm guessing one of them was probably you guys.
