Some Island seniors say they’re dealing with a big increase in recent weeks in annoying robo-calls and, more troubling, callers looking for personal credit-card information.
“They kind of keep quiet about it, but we often hear that they’re troubled about phone calls,” said Don Sanderson, president, P.E.I. Seniors Federation.
In recent days, CBC News has heard from a number of Island seniors on the problem.
One woman in Kensington, P.E.I., says she had 20 calls over a four-hour period one day last week.
Another woman in Charlottetown says her voice mail box was getting full every day with the calls, so she’s decided to discontinue her voice-mail service.
