someone called me from this number asking about my credit cards information and hi said he is calling from visamastercard he said it the same that i wrote it and he said he want to confirm the information he have about me and when i start asking him questions and felt like he is crock he hung up and when i called back the number just busy all the time and it has been a month now.

This number is from FreePhoneLine.ca and appears when the FreePhoneLine number is called by a caller that is blocking their ID.

That is...

1) "Bill" has a FreePhoneLine.ca (FPL) number which he can forward to any other number in Canada (like his cell)
2) "Jane" calls Bill's FPL number but she decides to block her number so that he doesn't know what number she is calling from
3) Bill receives an incoming call on his cell and sees (416) 642-0882 on his call display

Received a suspicious call from a Janeen or Janine Walsh asking for information about my company...
Now very concerned after reading the above posts.

This is a # that appears when someone is using one of those phones such as majic jacks and skype.the calls to u r being made by someone who knows u or is planning to scam u! Be careful.

I just got the call at 3:40 pm, Wednesday September 2nd, on my cell.  She referred to me by the first initial of my first name, followed by my last name, which is how I fill out forms on various things, never use my full name.  Anyways, she said she was from Mont Blanc, he name was Monique.  I kept asking what she wanted, but she wanted to verify she was speaking to "me" first (my first initial, again).  She said she would call back and I told her to go F-herself for wasting my time.   Can you blame me?

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.
