The CRTC has acknowledged a recent outbreak of robocalls in which fraudsters use a technique known as spoofing that mimics the caller IDs of CRA, Service Canada and other agencies in an effort to coerce Canadian residents into settling bogus tax or legal issues.A CRTC statement says there are a number of technical reasons for the proliferation, including the legitimate use of voice-over-internet telephone services and business practices that may alter caller identification information.
It also says Canadians should receive fewer unwanted calls after the new safeguards are in place next month but adds it’s working on rolling out further measures in co-operation with domestic carriers and other jurisdictions.

will this also end the duct cleaners, Windows techs getting error messages, hot water tank inspectors, and just the wordless hang ups that I am paying $50 a month for while keeping my landline Bell ?
globalnews Why is this so difficult in this age of technology? I am so tired of receiving Spam Visa calls at 7:15 in the morning.
Hope this doesn't screw around with my call forwarding features.
