OT: Bell Mobility spam (not SMS) from 416-780-8411 & 8483 & 8485 anyone?

[Rick Tomaschuk]

You can also call Bell directly and ask to be put on the 'do not call'
list. When a telemarketer calls/spams tell them you are on the do not
call list and ask them why they are calling/spamming you when you are
clearly on the list.
