223 Area Code Calls --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Queries have been posted about the source of calls with area code 223. Don't necessarily assume this is a US area code. International country code 223 is Mali. This is a neighbor of N****, which is singularly well renowned for Mail fraud, Internet fraud, and telephone scams. N**** is country code 224, and Mali is 223. Unless you know someone ther, you could expect that any calls coming from either of these "Area" codes would be an attempt to rip you off.

This number shows up as a missed call and when I call the number it's "not in service", must be computer generated?

Yep, another scammer. I was going to press one and start insulting the guy and make him suffer the long distance bill.Worried that it they have the same as "press 1 to accept local charges" from the TelcoLet your secuity group in your workplace (if your phone is work related) know about the call

I got a call from this number a few minutes ago too, and got the same message as ModernMan, above, though the automated voice spoke so quickly I didn't hear the "Canadian Tire" part. I just hung up. This is annoying because I'm on the do not call list!

Man! I'm so glad you posted this. I got a call from this number but was out for a smoke and when I tried to call it back out of curiosity it said it was not in service. It was driving me insane, I hate missing calls!Good thing it was just s****y telemarketers.
