Started to call me at 6:30am and persisted throughout the day. I never picked up don't know who it is. When I called back I just got a Hummmmmm sound on the other line.

Glad that I found this website, as I had just sent a response to same ad for house on 33rd Ave, Vancouver, BC. Very sketchy response from "Maria". Decided to google "techemail" and "Andreas Makiewicz" and lo and behold, this website was the first hit. Below, is the message "Maria" sent to me (for other's reference). Also, will post on Craigslist, where I found the original ad, a warning to others. Thank you, Joy.

This number appears on our call display whenever anyone from the US calls us.  It seems that Telus caller i.d. isn't capable of letting us know what the actual number is....so it displays this one.

That is exactly what it is..a port number of somesort.
