Just got a call... sounds like the guy that everyone is describing here. Heavy accent and almost inaudible. He kept saying things like:

'You have a Bell line, ok?'
'You pay $50/month, ok?'

I told him repeatedly that I don't have a Bell line and, of course, if he was from Bell he would know that. Then I just hung up on him.

They're pulling a scheme and are hoping to get some nice old ladies on the phone to fork over some money. Just hang up if you get a call.

today sept 2, 2009 a person call me from this number (416) 642-0882 and said he is the police and is coming to get me

Exact same call as bjay. Person claimed to be from "Visa Mastercard Company" saying I had been selected for a trip to Florida for 4 people. I asked for a contact number to call them back at and they gave me the 1-800 number for TD Waterhouse. Given that TD does not issued Mastercards the whole thing is completely suspect.Person on the phone requested the 7 digits on the back of my Mastercard (which I made up as well as the fact that I even had a Mastercard at all), then he asked for the 3rd block of numbers on the front of the card, to which I again made up along with the expiry he requested. I asked him if he could verify my card immediately and he answered yes. He then read out a bunch of numbers which was supposely my Mastercard number and asked me to verify. I again questioned him if this was the number he had pulled from his database and he said yes. I can only assume he wanted me to correct his number and thereby give him a legit credit card number with expiry and the security code on the back.The Caller addresses you as Mr. "insert your lastname here" or Ms. "lastname" and can obviously get your address through the phone book. Do not fall for readily available information as being verification that they are legit!I've since reported this to the OPP but given that the number appears to be some cover number I doubt it's traceable. My only advise to people is to be EXTREMELY skeptical of phone calls which dangle carrots.

Caller said he is from Royal Bank of Canada and one of their security advisors was in our area and would like to schedule to see me. I canceled the call saying I was not interested, but he called again. But the second time, the number didn't show up. But it was the same weirdo. It showed as Private Caller on the Caller ID. He had an Indian accent. Threatened me and told not to cut off the call. Sounded like a real sick a***ole!!!! I canceled the call and he called again and I never picked.
