I got a call from these p**sies last night... All i could hear was heavy breathing. I told them that i would tie there tounge to their toes if he kept on calling... I put my phone on a soft pleasant ring because they called for about an hour non-stop!!!

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.

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..

Here's some info I found....This is one of some generic numbers (also (416) 252-0153..etc) used by Skype's gateway for making pc to phone calls. Anyone using Skype service (usually in GTA)for such calling might display this on your caller ID.

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.

calling me more than 10 time a day... the phone was busy all the time when I call back.
