And repeat the same to mayor_miller @ toronto.ca

The calling card logic doesn't make any sense. Unless you live in Greater Toronto, why would you have a calling card where you will have to pay long distance? I have one to call family in the States but I use a 1800 one so THEY don't have to pay long distance.

Suprisingly enough, I have never been called by these idiots, and I actually have a 416 number... Thank God for that though, that I've never been called.

Just got a call from 200-9 (no area code, just that number in the info part plus "unknown" of course). I answered, no reply, they hung up. This was on 4/10/14 at 2:53pm

this person called me at 5 30 today, didnt leave a message, strange

This guy sounded like he had an Indian accent. ?Claimed he was from "The Debt Company". When I remarked that that was a very vague name he said, "I know sir, the company's name is confusing but that is the name of the company." I then allowed him to do his bit for a while and he mentioned that "his company was in the area doing a survey of mortgage payments" and he had noticed that we had made our last couple of months worth of payments on time and that he had an offer to improve our interest rate.  I knew when I picked up the phone that it was a scammer and I love playing with these jokers.  I informed him that I was on the National Do Not Call List and to take me off the list.  He asked me why. We argued for a bit and then I asked him for a manager and he said that he was the manager (how convenient). I then asked for his phone number. The one he probably pulled off of the list was a 416 exchange. I then asked for the company name.  He had trouble remembering that and eventually came up with "The Debt Company"  I asked for his name, "My name?" he said "My name is uh... Gary"  I followed with "And your last name is.." "Uhm... uh Nelson"  A traditional Indian name I suspect.  I asked him where he lived and he said BC then started to wonder why I was asking so many questions.  I then told him about the National Do Not Call List and that I needed this information so that I could file a proper complaint with the CRTC (Canadian FCC) for violation of the NDNC list. He said he wasn't in violation. I asked if he was a charity or if we had done business together before.  He said yes.  I asked which one; charity or business he replied with "I don't understand". I then asked if he was a telemarketer. He said yes. I read him the telemarketers requirements from the web page and then repeated. Are you a telemarketer. He said yes. I asked if he had a copy of the numbers on the DoNot Call list.  He said no then changed his mind and claimed that he was not a telemarketer.  I proceeded to argue with him for a while longer until he finally gave up and hung up.

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.
