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 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

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 :(

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.

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.

i got a call from 1 (416) 555-7777 at 4 in the morning but i answered it not knowing what time it was and a guy with a heavy acsent mabey chinese and he was jsut yelling random stuff i hung up and he called back like a min later and did the same thing i hung up again the area code is from toronto the next day at about 9 at night he called again from an unknown number so i dont know if its a hacker or a scamer or what but im blocking the number from my phone
