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.

I keep getting called from (416) 555-7777 a couple of times a day, how can I stop this? There is no one on the other end.

I have received way too many calls from this indian accent guy in the past months to my work phone looking for one of my employees here. The # that showed on the caller ID before was different. It was, if i remembered correctly,it's 5155. This is the first time that it uses the (416) 555-7777 #. The guy was rude and when I told him the employee can no longer be reached at this #, he got upset and asked WHY. On previous occasions, one of my managers answered the phone and told him we don't take message for employees and he got REAL mad and kept calling the line for 20 times. He said it's legal matter and need to talk to the employee. But...if it's legitimate legal issue, shouldn't you have all those information handy already?? It's so annoying to receive calls like this in a such a daily basis

here's a weird one. i got a call from this number this morning while i was still asleep. there was a message when, so before i check the message i look to see what number is on my call display. it's (416) 555-7777. i don't recognize it, so i google it, and find this page. so i'm thinking, the message is going to be some indian guy trying to scam me--- it wasn't---- it was my mom....?????

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 :(

My family live in another country and they use phone cards to call me. This is the number usually displayed when they call me!
