Looks like they've come alive again after a year.
After months of silence, Xentel DM are now telespamming us again. 2 calls in the same day from the same telejunker, representing 2 different "charities":
(800) 889-4625 Unavailable 2008-08-27 1100h ET (Ontario Blind Sports Association)
(800) 835-3193 Unavailable 2008-08-27 1515h ET (Mississauga Firefighters Association)
Just get out your credit card and quit crying! Besides, the easiest way to get us to stop calling is to give us money :)
Called 2007-11-19 ~2035h ET. Guess which number my VoIP account forwarded them to.

Xentel DM called again on the following dates and times (all EST):
2007-11-15 ~2120h
2007-11-16 ~1840h
2007-11-17 ~1205h
It appears that the Mississauga Firefighters' Association is using these criminals to solicit funds. I wonder how much of the money the MFA gets and Xentel keeps?
Called on 2007-11-12 ~1830h ET and go auto-forwarded to an OOS number. They called again on 2007-11-13 ~2000h ET. Seems that this telejunker also ignores telco out-of-service messages. This probably explains why people with brand new cell-phone and home phone numbers get tele-spam within the first few days of getting the new number.
Xentel DM: fundraising telejunkers-for-hire (xentel.com). Noting all the CID's I've ever had from this persistent telemarketer that does not honour DNC requests.
