Got a call, noticed "555" shouldn't be in the number. Didn't answer ..  came up on call display as "Spider-Spider".

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 the call from (416) 555-7777 but I didn't answer and no one left a message. I will see if they call back, and, if so, give them a piece of my mind. Are they just scammers or what?

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 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 :(

My employer has been receiving dozens of calls almost daily from this number. My staff is being constanly harrassed by different callers daily. My employee's are reporting they fear for their safety. Each time they call, we request to be placed on the do-not-call-register to no avail. Do not accept these calls. Always fight terrorism anyway you can!
