Got the call 5 minutes ago and he said he was calling form the credit card company claiming my interest raes were going down...I then asked which credit card and he said the one in my wallet...this guy must have thought I was stupid...I basically told him off and hanged up the phone.

Called my ex boyfriend claiming he was my father. And new my dads name and my full one. Said he would rip his guts out for supposedly doing all these sick things to me and so on. That's just messed =/

i get this call too. weekdays, weekends, all the time.

THESE ARE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!!!!! They said there were from Bell's marketing department - they offered me high speed internet and modem - 3 months free and then $22.95 after that (it seemed authentic until they said... ) "for life"... they wanted my mastercard, visa or american express "reservation number".. which is another way of asking for YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER - they assured me that it was for verification purposes only and that they didn't want the security number on the back ... when I said that I wasn't comfortable, they asked about my banking information. I declined.  They phoned back again using a different person - high pressure assurance but I'm not stupid - they cold called me - they say they are from a reputable company - all wonderful stuff but all bull crap!

This number is from FreePhoneLine.ca and appears when the FreePhoneLine number is called by a caller that is blocking their ID.

That is...

1) "Bill" has a FreePhoneLine.ca (FPL) number which he can forward to any other number in Canada (like his cell)
2) "Jane" calls Bill's FPL number but she decides to block her number so that he doesn't know what number she is calling from
3) Bill receives an incoming call on his cell and sees (416) 642-0882 on his call display

What is unfortunate with Canada and their so called "Do Not Call List" Apparently it has done the opposite. Somebody or somehow got these registered numbers and after giving your number to the government for private agencies to stop calling you. You get your number sold to scam artists to call you whenever they want and both you as if you have nothing better to do then to talk to some indian guy trying to sell you something.It is pathetic.
