(604) 628-2598 called twice at six am.  Fax ring, but no fax received.  Suspect fax telemarketing.

Got a call today from (604) 628-2598. I was in the shower at the time after just getting home from work, and no voicemail was left. The call (per my call log) came through at 3:42pm - Tuesday, May 12th, 2009.

This number is being used as a rental fraud at the moment.They're pretending to be a missionary in nigeria and asking you to send the damage deposit and then they will have the keys to the appartment sent to you.

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.

Hah, this call called me today around 5-7pm.Picked up, no response. So I just sat, left my phone on, munched on my food, let the caller hear my munching, I even sang and annoyed (IF there is anyone listening) out loud.Then I heard a "hang up" sound.Geez, reading the earlier comments. I see "threats" being mentioned from this number. Now I'm quite "curious" in a way.

The name they're currently using is Lacasta Campbell.
They're using an address in nigeria and have 2 phone numbers that have been trying to call me from nigeria.

Hello Tenant,

  Thanks for your email and interest in the property. I personally own the property and also want you to know that it was due to my transfer that made me and my wife to leave the property and also want to give it out for rent and looking for a responsible person that can take very good care of it as we are not after the money for the rent but want it to be clean at the time and the person that will rent it to take it as if it were its own. So for now, We are here in west Africa, our new house and also with the keys and documents of the house, we try to look for an agent that we can give this documents before we left but could not see and we are as well as don't want our property to be used any how in our present that is why we took it along with us. I and my wife came over to West Africa for a missionary work, so i hope you will promise us to take very good care of the house. kindly get back to me on how you could take care of our house or perhaps experience you have in renting home. The rent fee is included all the utilities . I am looking forward to hear from you ASAP so that i can forward you an application form to fill out and discuss on how to get the property for rent.

God bless you
