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 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 :(

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 got a call from 1 (416) 555-7777 at 4 in the morning but i answered it not knowing what time it was and a guy with a heavy acsent mabey chinese and he was jsut yelling random stuff i hung up and he called back like a min later and did the same thing i hung up again the area code is from toronto the next day at about 9 at night he called again from an unknown number so i dont know if its a hacker or a scamer or what but im blocking the number from my phone

This is a scam. Do not give any information. Just tell the nice Indian, Pakistanny or whatever or wherever they're from that we love the cow meat they are sending over! Makes great hamburgers!!

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.
