called me today at 2:08pm.  the caller identified herself as monique from montblanc and wanted to speak with someone at our office.  told her he was not available and she asked if he would be back later today, i said no can i help you with something.  she paused and said she would call back later. lots of background noise and she didn't sound very professional.

this number is for a free long distance service and instead of changing your name to private, it just uses a random no existant caller id which i reality is pretty much a private call with a custom caller id displayed.

so whoever is calling you knows you or got your name from the white pages.

got a call from BRG Business Associates Group just now from a different phone number though (416) 642-0882.  Address is the same, 216 Chrislea Road.

i put up with half an hour worth of the guy talking, tell me i won 1 of 5 prizes.  booked a time with me and wanted me to go this saturday.

he knew my name, my fiance's name and both our cellphone numbers.  the guy mentioned something about a purchase I made at Sears on 02/18/09 that qualified me for this prize.

but i don't remember buying anything from Sears.

Hi guys, this number isn't a phoney number, some companies use it to push numbers through other providors to lower costs. Our service - FreePhoneLine is a VoIP service that is, well, free. This number is a generic numbers most companies use to push the call through Bell, Rogers, Primus, Comcast etc... When they don't like the number, or don't like the fact that we want to run through their service without paying them they block the number or get a bit touchy on who they let through.

This number (416) 642-0882 asked for me by first name. The man said he calling regarding Education plans for kids. He asked me personal questions, I refused to answer and asked him how he got my name and phone number, he was so rude, he replied "you don't need to know" .  After asking him several times how he got my name and number he told me to "GO TO BED" and hung the phone up.  This is very strange...I will report it to Bell in the morning.  Caller ID Unknown

This number was used to trying to scam me into cashing a fraudulent cheque in Canada.  They are not calling from Toronto but rather overseas.  When I wouldn't pick up from an unlisted number they called me from (416) 642-0882.  I did answer and it was this person who had contacted me earlier regarding cashing a cheque for him.
