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 :(

Same man with an Indian/spanish accent.  Wanted to know if I got the social security package he sent.  Said he was from ICIU.  I didn't stay on the line long enough to find out the rest of the info.  I just hung up.  No government office calls at 6.00p.m.

these people (sounded like there was more than one) called me and just said "hello" over and over again. i think i heard laughing in the background too... tried calling it back "the number you have called is no longer in service".

all i wanna know is how the hell they got my cell phone number

Got a call, noticed "555" shouldn't be in the number. Didn't answer ..  came up on call display as "Spider-Spider".

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 funny

when i asked him for his number he gave me this one: (416) 800-2479

terminating the number by the provider is easy, but makes the company lose a subscriber ($$$$ money  $$$$) so they just keep scammers messing around..

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
