I got a call today, March 16, 2009, around 5:15 pm.  It was a lady that asked me if I knew Chinese in Mandarine.  It really irritated me because when I first picked up she kept on saying hello to me and I already said hello back...  So I didn't know what she wanted until she finally spoke Chinese. I told her sorry you got the wrong number and she said sorry and hung up.  No idea what that was about. Probably a telemarketer

Harris Black Con Man & Sex Offender uses this number to harass people who don't fall for his scams.

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.

Some retard...fail womb sounding woman was asking me if Jeff was available (no one here by that name) She sounded kinda high on something...or super drunk or a combo...

called me saying, he is from ali mohammed, no idea what he is talking about. kept asking if i have a mortgage and wanting to confirm my address, then shortly after he disconnected.

This number must be a switch board number, simply because I got a call from this number today and it is actually from Indeed.com. Every few weeks, one of Indeed account manager calls our company as a courtesy to check  if we need any help as we post a lot of jobs on Indeed.

So judging by all the comments on this thread, I am assuming this number is probably an outgoing number from a switchboard.
