I just called Bell Canada about this # (416) 439-7445, the operator gave me a # linked to Canadian Fine Foods.  Their main # is (416) 439-4545.  I called the company and the receptionist said that it may be one of their lines and they were going to post a message on their intranet.  Don't know if this will stop or not.

Got two calls this week, one i didn't answer the second I did. Of course no one on the line. I think it's a systematic way to develop a calling list based on phone numbers that where people answer the call, it can be then used or sold for tele-marketing.  Although that wouldn't explain call backs after someone has answered. Unless they are trying to develop a call list based on a target group Male or Female. Either way it's ridiculous, I blocked the number on my phone.

FOLLOW UP:I contacted Bell Canada @ 310-BELL and put in this phone number, it forwarded me to bell business - meaning it is a bell canada line - they wouldn't allow me to flag the account - said my only option was to add my number to the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY - yes the same one with virtually no oversight and the government gives out to non-profits and the like - not a viable solution. I suggest you all call in to 310-BELL and when it prompts you for your phone number, input the (416) 439-7445 number, and complain to your representative about harassment.  I told them that there are SEVERAL sites like this that have this number listed - and they don't seem to care at all.  Hope this helps someone else

Regarding the incessant prank calls seemingly placed to every corner of the province of Ontario by the telephone number (416) 439-7445:

This individual is quite fortunate that I no longer reside in Toronto as I would visit his address and deal with him (verbally) in-person.

Since the telephone service providers we pay through the nose for their services won't assist us in deal with this prat I think that we (his victims) should snail-mail him notifications of stern displeasure of his time-wasting pranks and knowledge of his physical address.  Sometimes intimidation can work toward the positive.

A few other ideas:
1) since I only receive dead-air calls, this may be a hacker with a computerized random dialer,
2) free long-distance scammer searching for unattended lines with a "yes, operator, I will accept the charge" outgoing message on the voicemail or answering machine,
3) the caller may be using a spoofcard and typing in a telephone number other than his own to show up on our Caller I.D./Call display monitors.

Please, let's work together on this; keep all of us informed here.  Thanks.


Hopefully he will lose interest in this petty game shortly!


Best wishes.   : )
