I received a call today from the same number person wasn't able to speak english properly. He claimed being an employee of Government of Canada stating that he need to activate my account for do not call list & stated that I will get a phone call with a 5 digit access code.

Person called back again and was asking for same access code. the access code was from craiglist..

I asked the person about his name & address, he was not willing to provide that information..
Beware of such calls..

Continued from my message above.. I don't know how these people know my name considering its not even my name that's under the phone contract, its my moms. I'm a little creeped. Altho I didn't get them to talk much since I just hung up as soon as I heard them say hello sonya in a disguised voice. The third time they called in a span of a minute, I let my friend pick it up and they started asking him if he was drunk when he wasn't, we were at my work because I was working at the time. My friend ended up hanging up and they never called back. Hoping they don't call again. Would love to see them caught and would like to know how they got my name!

It's odd.  Got a call from this number claiming they were looking for "someone" who needs to call back....they quoted a case number.  I called the number and it is out of service. It could be a temporary number assigned to a trunk line and many business/people use it because it cannot be traced, and the price is cheaper if they use trunk lines ( yielding flat rate times ).  It is a hastle however, remember, they can only call twice a day, legally.

I get a call from this number several times a day.  Today 4 times in a row, i never pick up phone.  Do I have have to call my service provider to block this person? Anyhow, I have been receiving calls since January, and hopefully it will stop soon.

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.

I got a call from my friend that lives in another country and she called me using SKYPE however it showed this local 416 #.... Hope this helps you guys out.
