This guy sounded like he had an Indian accent.  Claimed he was from "The Debt Company". When I remarked that that was a very vague name he said, "I know sir, the company's name is confusing but that is the name of the company." I then allowed him to do his bit for a while and he mentioned that "his company was in the area doing a survey of mortgage payments" and he had noticed that we had made our last couple of months worth of payments on time and that he had an offer to improve our interest rate.  I knew when I picked up the phone that it was a scammer and I love playing with these jokers.  I informed him that I was on the National Do Not Call List and to take me off the list.  He asked me why. We argued for a bit and then I asked him for a manager and he said that he was the manager (how convenient). I then asked for his phone number. The one he probably pulled off of the list was a 416 exchange. I then asked for the company name.  He had trouble remembering that and eventually came up with "The Debt Company"  I asked for his name, "My name?" he said "My name is uh... Gary"  I followed with "And your last name is.." "Uhm... uh Nelson"  A traditional Indian name I suspect.  I asked him where he lived and he said BC then started to wonder why I was asking so many questions.  I then told him about the National Do Not Call List and that I needed this information so that I could file a proper complaint with the CRTC (Canadian FCC) for violation of the NDNC list. He said he wasn't in violation. I asked if he was a charity or if we had done business together before.  He said yes.  I asked which one; charity or business he replied with "I don't understand". I then asked if he was a telemarketer. He said yes. I read him the telemarketers requirements from the web page and then repeated. Are you a telemarketer. He said yes. I asked if he had a copy of the numbers on the DoNot Call list.  He said no then changed his mind and claimed that he was not a telemarketer.  I proceeded to argue with him for a while longer until he finally gave up and hung up.

And by the way my bf asked him to stop, he said he knew I was there he heard me and I must speak to him. He left a vm and called 4 times in a row after that, saying "Kristie, please please, you can not do this, I can not cancel this package"

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 got a call from this number at 6:00pm (eastern time) which was a follow up on a number that made no sense- showed as 1-801-200-9. This was a lady saying that I was receiving federal grant money and needed all my information and bank so they can send the money. First time, when it was the 801 number, I told her that I DON'T think I could do this and do not have a bank account. She said she would call back later and hung up. She had an acent that was hard to understand. The second time she called was on this number, the (416) 555-7777 and asked to talk again about this. I told her again, NO. Hopefully don't get another call from her! She is pissing me off

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.

just got a call about 5 mins ago, it was an indian man asking about a car, and how i have his daughters number and to give her a call back. it was extremely broken english and almost too hilarious.
