If you live in Ontario...

Beware Ontario Green Savings. That's my opinion.

Their latest thing? Once they've (violated Ontario Bill 59 by way of having) cold-called you into letting them into the house is to talk up deals about HEPA filters.

And yes, this is one more reason why I'm never taking a call centre job. I know people who've taken such work and never done a single bit of scamming in their lives as such workers. Some of them are on my friendlist here and I'm glad to know them.

Not taking any chances, though.

Canada has a worldwide bad reputation for being where a lot of the cold calling scams come from.

We have gone to the extent of investing in a callblocking home phone.

I'm sorry that that first sentence is a fact. We've done the same here, but not every number that should be blocked got blocked fast enough.

Oh yeah, there are so many scam companies like that.
