I received a call this evening from area code (613) 688-5051 and when I called back it said number is out of service.  I tried re-dailing it and it said this number is out of service.  I am sure this a scam.

I have Bell Canada's "Ident-a-call" on my home phone line, it gives you a 2nd number that rings on your primary line, but with a different ring pattern ("first" line gives normal ring, "2nd" line gives "ring-ring" like the British).  I let my "published" or first line be my fax machine, and the 2nd line be my voice number, keeps lots of telemarketers a bay :-)  Also lets you have a "fax line" and a "voice line" without having to pay for 2 phone lines, with the benefit that your voice line is unlisted (at no additional cost) and when you call out, the "first" number is the one that shows, so if companies use the line "you called us, you're an existing customer so we're exempt from Do Not Call lists" it doesn't interrupt your dinner :-)

This number just called in on my first (fax) number.

Not a scam. Not sure why the call didn't go through. You can also try (613) 688-5051 or toll free +1 877-688-5051
