I also received a call from this number, and it was a voice I couldn't recognize, and then it hung up.  Doing some research, I have also read comments that it ended up being a person's mom (above) and another saying it was an uncle calling from the middle east.  This implies to me that this is an outdial number for a discount long distance brokerage, and it's being reported as (416) 555-7777.It would be interesting if someone, who actually recognizes / knows the caller, were to ask which long distance company / discount company that they made the call via.The scammers that are calling are probably using the same long distance discount company to place their scam calls.

today after i got out from my work, at 12:30 pm, i got a call from this number(416) 555-7777no one was talking. i hung up. 2 minutes later he called again. it must be someone who missed my beautiful voice lloooooll

I just got this call twice from the same (416) 555-7777 number and i answered twice and no one spoke. For all those wondering what area code this is in, it is a Toronto regular land line number? It's probably a marketing or scammer group based in Toronto.

Got a call, noticed "555" shouldn't be in the number. Didn't answer ..  came up on call display as "Spider-Spider".

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 :(
