For the past few months, I've been getting these mysterious calls on my cell phone from a 519 area code number (London, Ontario). Whenever I answer, I'm greeted only by silence. Today, one of the damn calls interrupted me at work while I was talking to a client. I had gotten to my limit on the matter.

Thankfully, our glorious edifice of technology, Google, was able to give me the answer that a reverse directory lookup couldn't provide. I found the answer on a site called whocalled.us, where users collaborate to to find out who is calling and hanging up, or using autodialers.

It is TD Canada Trust. The crappy financial institution which I affiliated myself with only briefly to secure a line of credit to pay off Steph's auto loan acquire her car. The line of credit was paid off ages ago, and I've been enduring months of anonymous harassment for... what reason exactly?

When I get home, some poor hapless TD customer service agent is going to have to endure quite an earful.

So how did that go?

Didn't get to it last night.

Also realized there was still 2ยข outstanding on my account (probably some interest calculated after my last payment). Maybe that's why they were calling me: "Hey, we really really REALLY need our two cents back."

I paid that off, hopefully then I won't get some pencil-pusher telling me that there's an outstanding balance on my account when I call up to give them hell.

Addendum: They called me again just now and it actually connected me for once. They were trying to sell me something. I told them never to call me again.

VICTORY.
