I have received about 25 calls from this number in the last 24 hours. Some foreign (Indian?) guy saying, "hello, hello, hello" in every message and trying to say some other stuff, but I couldn't understand any of it. I'm glad I googled this number and got this site, so I know I'm not alone. This is so annoying and creepy. Is there any way to track these a**holes down, or at least block the number?

caller said nothing

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.

Received call and I answered the phone but no one said anything so I hung up. There must be a way in which Bell can do something about these calls. ?Someone needs to look into this and stop these calls.

The calling card logic doesn't make any sense. Unless you live in Greater Toronto, why would you have a calling card where you will have to pay long distance? I have one to call family in the States but I use a 1800 one so THEY don't have to pay long distance.

Suprisingly enough, I have never been called by these idiots, and I actually have a 416 number... Thank God for that though, that I've never been called.

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.
