Got a call today and the guy asked for my mother. I said she is unavailable at the moment and asked who he was, he said that he is calling from Mortgage Alliance.  I told him that I am a mortgage broker myself with the same company and we won't be needing any of their services. He said ok then hang up.

I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada which is actually the city where the area code is 416. However, as a long time resident of Toronto I know that 555 is NOT A LEGITIMATE 2nd 3 digits! This is spam! For sure! Let me tell you this: When a commercial is made for air/posting around here and they need a fake number they use 416-555-xxxx as the number because NOBODY'S SECOND 3 DIGITS IS 555. So no one will get a spammer call.HOWEVER, this means that this caller is somehow displaying (416) 555-7777 as his/her caller ID while calling from a different number.Furthermore, I saw the 647 number posted above. 647 is the Greater Toronto cell phone area code. So that may be a legitimate number. However, it may not necessarily be the number of the caller who was spamming you.I am dissapointed that some retard is giving a bad rap to the 416 :(

Today I received a call from this number and could not hear anything, just somebody trying to say something but very far and very unclear. So, I googled the number and found all these comments here. In the meantime the phone rang again and it was my mom in law calling from abroad. I know that she is using a phone card to call abroad. So, this number is probably the number of the phone company that sells these phone cards. So people using these cards could be from anywhere in the world I imagine. Some just  misdial the number and get to you instead of the intended person and some might misuse the card to place a scam call. Just be aware it is somebody from abroad and might not necessarily be a bad person.

Received a call today and the caller was heavily accented.  I could not understand what he was saying other than "how are you today."  Certainly sounded like a sales call or a scam!

And by the way my bf asked him to stop, he said he knew I was there he heard me and I must speak to him. He left a vm and called 4 times in a row after that, saying "Kristie, please please, you can not do this, I can not cancel this package"

these people (sounded like there was more than one) called me and just said "hello" over and over again. i think i heard laughing in the background too... tried calling it back "the number you have called is no longer in service".

all i wanna know is how the hell they got my cell phone number
