I got a call from (780) 424-5841 at 6:15pm the other evening.  The person on the other end was a male, and it sounded like his voice was computer altered to disguise his identity.  He greeted me by name so he obviously knew who he was trying to call. He claimed he was from an alarm system company, and offered me a free wireless alarm system as an Easter special.  When I said I was not interested, he asked if it was because I already had an alarm system in my home.  I told him again that I was not interested and hung up.  I seemed like he was fishing to figure out if my home was protected, and if not it could become a target for breaking and entering.  I tried calling the number back, but all I got was the message "this number is not in use". After reading the other postings, I am definitely going to report the call to the authorities.

No one on the other end....Maybe a wrong Number ???

I got call from this number and asked my credit card no. to activate automated online profit system account. Do someone have received similar  call?

Well folks it seems that we have a number that the criminal element can use from another country. They will call you between 2-6am for they are in Nigeria. They can be any of the illegal activity gangs that are there. I wish that TELUS or ROGERS or any of the other number providers just cut them off when you get 3 complaints, you know three strikes you're out of here. But then they, the providers , do not look at it that way for them it is income and one hell of disruption in our day's activities or sleep. If you do get a voice it is from a landline that is not from this country but from one that has very poor infrastructure like Nigeria. And they may be on their cells but the connection is a little better but not that good that you can hear them clearly.
Like the other callers I am wondering why the authorities in Canada are not doing anything about this. I k  ow that we are not a majority of the populous voters but we are citizen of a country that respects the privacy from these person unknow or known to us.
The reason I knwo about this number I set up a sting to find out legalities that we are not looking at and our own government is just not  doing their job in protecting us from these crooks, scamers, what ever, whom ever they are we are the prey, the victims that have to pay the price and some have and will be going to jail because of these people.
So please contact your Federal government representative and put a bee in their bonnet and keep at it for it is the only way that we can get results in Canada. If they do not do their job then vote them out and let them be unemployed like the rest of us.

FYI ...I had received five calls from a telemarketer in the last week informing me that my number had been randomly selected for a free cell phone from Bell and Solo Mobility.  I advised the caller each time that my number was on the do not call list, but they did not understand that.  (FYI, I have never done business with either Bell or Solo.)On the 5th call, I was quite firm in my words about having my number removed and then hung up.  In less than a minute, I received a 6th call, this time from (780) 424-5841.  The man was upset with me for the call I had just received.  He identified himself as Alex Harrison from Bell and Solo Mobile and said he was calling from North York, Ontario.  I repeatedly told him my number was on the national do not call list and he was to immediately stop calling me.  He suggested I call Bell at +1 800-627-0123 if I had a problem with him (it didn't seem to register that I was on the national do not call list).BTW, an internet check of that number shows it is not available to Alberta - not even sure who it is.FYI, Bell's customer care number is +1 800-667-0123.  I called Bell to notify them about how this person conducted business for Bell, if he is even acting on behalf of Bell.  They have no record of an Alex Harrison and nor is the Alberta-based number registered with Bell nor is there any free cell phone promotion of the kind the telemarketers claimed.

I have been getting multiple calls from this number, they claim to be a company called Express Transaction Services. The say I owe them money and I need to pay now or be sent to collections. When I ask them what the charges are for they reply, I should know! They then give me the option to pay half just to close the account, or I will go to collections. I told them I will wait for the collection letter, but they just continue to call and say the same thing.
