Just got called by this number. Claimed to be from Lox (locks or lux) Windows and Doors...I told him I had already asked them to take me off their list and I wanted to file a complaint...he gave me a phone number to call and kept saying 'go ahead, complain' 'go, file a complain'. I didn't take down the number cause i'm sure it's a phony one. Next time I'm going to play along and seem interested in whatever he's selling so that I can get to a 'real' company and contact.

weird, I have unlisted numbers both home and cell, and only my family knows my cell phone number yet I got a call from this number on my home phone and I didnt answer, then immediately afterwards they called my cell phone. The only thing I can think is that I wrote to a family member today on facebook and left both my phone numbers in their private mailbox. I cannot think of any other way for them to have known my number and apparantly this is a problem with fb hacking. I think it is possible that it is one of those free switching networks so that number comes up for others if being used (free long distance numbers usually). Just saying, since I used to work for Bell and we saw that alot.

This guy asked if I had a security system and I refused to answer.  I told him I was on the do not call list and he hung up.  I called Bell and they check the number and it is out of service and could not trace it.  I called the do not call list and filed a complaint.

Tonight, we just got a bunch of calls, like 5 every hour from this number and they would never answer when we picked up. How do we stop it if this supposedly doesnt exist to report it?

Just received a call from this number. Picked up and it was a fax signal!

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.
