i JUST got this call on my cell, i normally dont answer phone numbers i dont recognize, but i was thinking that it can be a friend of mine from school. so i answered, and it was a guy going 'what are you doing???' and i asked who it was, and he's like 'its blaine'. i didnt know any blaine, so i told him that he'd got the wrong phone number, and he kinda mumbled 'what thats the number he gave me" to himself, he then addressed me by my name with the wrong last name, so i just simply said 'yea, you definately got the wrong number, sorry.' and he just said thats okay. bye..how is he getting all these numbers? are phone bills affected by this?

I got 3 calls from this number aswell. It says its not in service. But... its not the normal message i hear when I call other numbers that are not in service. I wonder if its on their end that they have a machine that picks up and does that. Could be scammers?

The Answer:(416) 210-2998 belongs to a calling card company (UniVox i believe), so when this number shows up you now know that someone is using a calling card from any phone and giving you a call cause they know you or know your number.

I started making some phonecalls to Toronto recently and only days after doing that I recieved two calls from (416) 210-3998, a toronto number.  My phone was on silent mode during both calls so I did not pick up, no messages were left.  Could there be some type of line interception going on?

I received this call today, he was in Vernon BC, its a calling card number that everyone who buys that type of card gets.

At 1:19 AM in Winnipeg, we received a call from this number (416) 210-3998. The person asked for my son by name, but he is away a college. The person simply hung up.
