Do you get persistent calls from 888-517-4182 or any number beginning 888-517-####?

I just spent some time doing a Google search on this (I sometimes get the call 3 times a day!). I came up with numerous websites devoted to this/these numbers. They are all telemarketers and scams.

(888) 517 Telemarketers
(888) 517-0244
8885170244
53 complaints
(888) 517-2630
8885172630
16 complaints
(888) 517-0246
8885170246
16 complaints
(888) 517-7852

Quote from one site:

I called POLICE who gave me the Anti Fraud Tel #  1 - 888 - 495 - 8501. The website is
http://www.antifraudcentre.ca.  However, having said that, the fellow I talked to at the Fraud Centre basically said it had nothing to do with them. that because i did do business with these guys somewhere along the line, whether i cancelled or not, was Not  Fraud.  I said, 'thanks for nothing" and hung up the phone.

There is no such company as Caribbean Cruise; it is a take off on a legitimate company name.

For a lot of comments Google the number. I'm going to "try" and get Bell to block this.

Well, iPad is now updated. Lots of questions to answer when it was finished downloading, decisions to make, etc. Should be all okay and up to date now.

Bought a new Kobo book, Linden MacIntyre's first one before The Bishops Man. Really found that one a good read, especially having known Cape Breton.

I like to keep an eye on it! Whenever I've done something on the PC overnight, something goes flooy with it.

My TV just went on the fritz?? Suddenly there are only vertical white bars on the screen, though the sound is okay. It's not the station because I tried going through a number of stations and they were all the same. Does that mean there is something wrong with my TV??

I could still hear the spelling championships for Canada; didn't need to see it. Jennifer Wong of St. John's NF just won the cup.

I'm downloading an update for my iPad. Takes 3 hours and still two hours to go!

Hope I don't have to do that as often as the updates for my software keep coming through. Several this week.
