I sent the email message about calls from this number to privacy @ donotcall.ca, hope that will work. Please do the same, if you receive such annoying 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 family live in another country and they use phone cards to call me. This is the number usually displayed when they call me!

Got a call from this number, claiming he works for a carpet cleaning company or something.. i told him i dun need his services so he said "don't f*** with pakistani" and hung up lol that was hell funnywhen i asked him for his number he gave me this one: (416) 800-2479terminating the number by the provider is easy, but makes the company lose a subscriber ($$$$ money  $$$$) so they just keep scammers messing around..

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.

Received a call today and the caller was heavily accented.  I could not understand what he was saying other than "how are you today."  Certainly sounded like a sales call or a scam!
