(416) 642-0882
he called telling me that i won a free phone from telus worth $400 and it would be delivered to my front door soon he asked when i was born, but he knew my address, home number

just looked on some other sites and this seems to be an issue with alot of people, however the rcmp and the opp have apparantly set up a joint task force to deal with this after several complaints about the same thing, which they call phonebusters 1-+1 888-495-8501

This number call me at least once a day...I tried calling back once but the number was not in service. The strange thing is I was getting obscene phone calls from an "unknown" number all the time but those calls have now stopped, and seems to be replaced from this number-I don't answer the any of the calls.

Yuppers.....same number.  Indian guy for duct cleaning.  When I tried to be polite and refused, he got obscene.  I hung up and he called back!  Twice!  Bell says it's a phony number.

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.

Got a call from this number asking for my card for verification. Tne caller has a western cowboy accent. Last two weeks ago, I got a call from this same number, the caller has an indian accent.  They are scams fishing for info.
