I think all this flow of numbers, can only come from the phone company itself, as you see them changing phone numbers, and there are a great many phone numbers of them. Who can afford himself to have so many phone numbers, if it is not from a phone company itself, or from a few of their employees.

Have a look at the List of reported phone numbers:

This number phone i answered it as it was after 9pm no one on the other line.

Paul, the Do Not Call List is updated monthly. If you just registered on the DNCL, it will take up to a month for your numbe to appear. In the meantime, if you answer their call and tell them not to call you, they need to register your number internally in their own company's list and immediately cease calling. If they call again after you have spoken to soomeone from the same number, go on the DNL site and register your complaint.

i received a call from this # today at about 5:30 (Toronto).i didn't picked it up; it didn't even leave a message on my answering machine...:(i've registered on the Do Not Call List Oct./Nov. 2008, but i still get all these annoying calls.

Have been called twice now.  First time was a hang up, 2nd time I didn't get to the phone on time.  I'm on the DNCL.  Not impressed.  Thought it was a Saskatchewan relative.  Glad to know it's not.

2nd call from this number and no one there.  Would appreciated knowing who was calling
