I've just started being bombarded with nuisance calls in the last week, including this no. They all started right after I place a few ads on Craigslist. When I did a quick search of one of the numbers, up came a Craigslist ad listed by someone selling something from a basement suite in North Vancouver. I have never picked up, but it's really annoying. Yesterday I received three calls, back-to-back. As it happens, I just sprained my foot, so hobbled to the phone three times. This number (604) 628-2598) was call no. 3. A minute before that was a "blocked" call and a minute before that was (604) 678-9476 (a cursory search revealed that the latter no. was known to RCMP and could be reported to RCMP Phone Busters at 1-+1 888-495-8501), which I promptly did. Reason would dictate that all three calls came from the same person/people.The RCMP told me to just not pick up. Today I blocked (604) 628-2598, but I'm sure they'll keep calling from the "blocked" and other numbers. I have better things to do with my life than dodge calls from scam artists, add to my "blocked" list, and sit around on hold for half an hour waiting for RCMP Phone Busters. There needs to be more energy and funds directed to protecting the public and maybe a little less to furthering technology right now. It's intrusive, violating and stressful.

I think it is a routing number in Metro Vancouver, BC for overseas calls. I just received a genuine call from my friend's land line in El Salvador, Central America to my cell phone in Vancouver and it showed (604) 628-2598.

got a call from this number I'm not sure who it was. busy signal when I tried calling back.

Fellow identified himself as working for a company with POS systems of some sort. I told him I don't accept calls from telemarketers which he denied he was, the more he talked confirmed he was a telemarketer. He wouldn't shut up & continually tried to overtalk me until I told him the number he called was registered to the do not call list. I repeated several times a request to be removed from their lists. Phone number on call display is (604) 628-2598. My number is in Canada.

I got a call from this number but it's from my relative in L.A. This is just a local connecting number for those using Long Distance phone cards or services, I suppose?

This is a routing number for calling cards from outside Vancouver.  So it could be telemarketing or a private call.
