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!

This is really starting to freak me out, he knows my name, sounds foreign tells me he has a package just needs my address....its really scary and needs to stop.

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 :(

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.

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 got a call from this number at 11:00 p.m. but didn't answer it.Thanks all of you for posting the messages.  I won't answer if they call me again.
