Got a call from this number today. Some guy said the US govt is giving out $5000 to good citizens, and he wanted to get my details so he could send the money. This screams out SCAM from all angles.

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

I got call from this number i think there is a group of telemarketer calling from pakistan or india whn they donot get anyone they swear

Surely some group of thieves trying to get your personal info. Got a call few min back from some guy claiming to from the Federal Health Dept. Haha. Said if I pay $ 2.99 shipping and handling then I would get a federal health card which will give me 60 % discount on all medical bills over my insurance. Haha. Was trying the get my home address and bank a/c no. of credit card no. I asked the health care bill is yet to pass and you have already started selling such stuff. Gave a earful to the caller and cut the call.

I just received two calls from this number. The person sounded like he was far away and he also sounded foreign and I couldn't make out what he was saying.

Yup, I just got a call from a heavy accented man...caller ID = Spider Spider and he claimed he was from Bell Mobility.  He sounded like he was calling from a cell phone, on the highway, with his windows down.  It was so noisey.
I just said I wasn't interested and hung up.  He is not from the GTA area...no way!
