    Yes, you can stop the calls!  I received one, sometimes up to three calls a day from Canadian Pharmacy using this and a dozen other numbers for over 3 years until I finally fought back! Here's the secret: Their computer makes tens of thousands of calls a day, using "spoofed" phone numbers all over the country, only connecting you to a salesperson when you say "hello".  At the first sign of negativity, they simply hang up. It costs them nothing! You will never get off the automated call list until you order something.

    So DO IT! Be sure to ask lots of questions, change your mind several times, haggle on price. Then give them your address, email and credit card number (all fake!). The first time I kept the woman on the phone for 45 minutes. After she ran the fake card number (always use the correct first 2 digits), she desperately tried to call me 10 times a day for 3 days. Finally I answered and told her the credit card was canceled and gave her another. 3 more days of trying before she gave up. Then the daily calls started again in 3 months.

    I repeated the process, this time saying I had no credit card and was in the middle of switching bank accounts. After an hour on the phone fielding my stupid repeat questions and placing a $200 order, he sent instructions (to a fake email) on how to pre-pay using Western Union. He called 10 times a day for a week to figure out why they hadn't gotten the money before it all stopped again. 3 months later, the daily calls began again. No biggie, I just had another hour of fun and expect them to soon give up on me again.

    They make their money by selling to one of every 10,000 calls. It takes only a tiny percentage of fake orders to waste enough time for their entire marketing strategy to go bust. The salespeople get frustrated, make no commissions and quit. The company spends $1000 training another replacement. Their phone banks are stalled taking orders that only cost them money. Try it, its fun!

    Put them out of business - REPOST THIS FOR EVERY NUMBER THEY USE

      I harass them so bad that they get so mad and start cussing me out.  They can't win because I'm the king of come backs and they just get more stupid then they hang up.

      Anthony, what your saying is waste an hour of one's own time, to get them to stop calling for about three months. That is NOT getting them to stop calling. NO MATTER what you do, they will eventually start the harassing  phone calls again. It may be "fun" for you to wast an hour of your time, but I don't have the time or patience.

        You're quite right. Remember that you're dealing with sales. So I wouldn't be surprised if they simply hold onto a number in order to make the requisite number of calls each week. I've often received four or five calls a day from the same number and the same group then they will use a different telephone number the next day! Your best option is call blocking if your service provides it or buy a call blocker from a store. It won't completely stop but they possess access to so many numbers and of course they exchange them for new numbers each month or each quarter. These guys are probably sub-contractors that the pharmacy hires. It's probably a second job to most of them. If it's any consolation remember by pestering you they are also cheating the pharmacy.

      It is now 2017.  They have been calling me since 2014.  I tried this method.  It didn't work.  I tried every other method I found on the internet.  None of the work.  Basically, neither the sales department nor the customer service has the ability to remove your number from the calling list.  There is nothing they can do.  Some of them try, but the IT department simply doesn't respond.  They don't know who runs the IT department, or where it is located, nor do they have a phone number for it.  All they have is an email address, and they said that no-one ever responds to it.
          You are not going to drive them out of business.  It costs next to nothing to run a phone bank.  The salespeople only get paid when they make a sale, so if they don't make sales, it doesn't hurt the company.  The overhead is almost zero.
          The Canadian government will not aid anyone who does not have a Canadian number.
          They are only two ways to get off their calling list.  Change your number, or hunt them down and kill them.  They have an address in Toronto -- 525 College Street.   Unfortunately I am too far away to use the second method.
