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

Today.. i got a call from (416) 555-7777 i picked up but there was no sound. then 2 minutes later they called again and i picked up but no one talked.. they called 4 times...whats up with them?i called back but it said the number was unknown..how did they even get my number??im confused!

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.

also received a call from this number

Online pharmacy wanting me to 'refill a prescription'.  When I informed them that this was my work number and I wished to be removed from his list, he hung up.
