I recieved a call from (416) 555-7777 i did  not answer then i decided to google it and i got to these site. I can't believe this #$%$^%.
Thank god i looked these up. Next time he calls before he even says anything i should tell him to go and $%^%^% himself.

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.

I've gotten a few calls from some Indian a**hole (named "Gary" would you believe).  The scam was he wanted to give me a cheap mortgage and all I had to do was give him all my banking info, SIN # and so on.  The first time my wife answered she laughed and told him to suck eggs.  I wasn't as nice.  I'm listed with the CRTC no call list, so I rarely get calls now but this is different...some sort of scammer.  Time to start answering with the air horn again.  Maybe if he's deaf, he won't be able to call cause he can't hear the replies.

this number belongs to one of Bell's outsources centers for Bell Mobility. I've asked not just this center but also called in to Bell and added myself to the Do Not Call list several times and yet I continue to receive calls from Bell. Since is responsible for the administration and updating and registering the DNC List the least they can do is comply by it themselves. If not then they should not reserve the right to maintain the DNC List

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.

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.
