Call from this number at 8am. Returned call no answer.

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?

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.

This phone number is from callers using a phone card

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.

Its used by people calling from Ipod touches I know cuz when my brother-in-law phones from it that shows up. So you have random people who can call from the IPod touch. if you phone the police they can get permission to find out from the company what the IP address connecting to it is. the problem is that you can use any wireless internet that isnt password protected. So I could go outside starbucks, phone you with my ipod touch (not I-phone) and harass you. lovely isn't it.

Just to clarify, anyone who calls a metro vancouver number using the Ipod touch (if they use the free application on the ipod touch) will be routed through this number. Like the guy above me said its voip caller id. this number isn't a person, its just a service that connects an internet connection to a phone (as in your telephone when they call).
