i got a call just earlier today, a person claims to be some sort of mob from my country (taiwan) saying they have 2 brothers who are here in CANADA that need money to go back to the country. He asked for $20,000 CAD so they can go back.
Even harassed me that if I dont help out.
Blood will be shed
pfft
gimme a break
economy is bad and people are trying every possible way to make money

The reason you are unable to call back is that each of these callers is actually caller from a real number but they are Primus customers, so their real number actually gets re-routed through one of many Primus main numbers.

My father has Primus and whenever he calls me the caller ID shows one of the many Primus numbers, usually I get (416) 646-3601, but I have also seen others.

So basically if you signed up with Primus today as your phone provider you too could make calls randomly to people and they would get a Primus # on their call display.

It is so frustrating and Primus should not be allowed to mask the caller ID number.

They called me this morning and I answered.... Thank you for calling the Royal Canadian Mounted Police how I can direct your call?They hung up and never called again ?ahahhaha

Got a call today.  I didn't pick up, and they didn't leave a message.  I called it back, but got a loud buzzing sound (i.e. it didn't ring).

Do they keep notes on who sounded like they answered last time?Why hang up without saying anything?What a waste of time.What is their motivation?Are they somehow making money?Do they get the occasional dummy who gives them money?Or are they insane?I don't understand.

This is seriously annoying, today I got a call from +40555600842 on my cell phone at 11:09, I was asleep, luckily with my ringer on very low, obviously I didn't wake up to answer it, at 11:10 and 11:11 I got calls from a private caller, then an unknown number at 11:12, at 11:14, our friend at (416) 646-3601 called, and then at 11:15, a caller from 662-505-2872, I finally woke up at 11:18 when another private caller called. At that time I looked at my phone and saw all the missed calls, no messages though. How do these people manage to find my phone number, and why do they feel that calling 7 times in 7 minutes is going to get a response?I tried to trace the numbers, the unknowns and privates didn't work out, but the first call was from a caller calling through Romtelecom in Romania, but calling through the provider from outside of the country. I literally don't know any person or have any connection to anything remotely Romanian. The area is Caras-Severin, which includes Transylvania. Perhaps it's Dracula.The next number that came up, the 662 number originated from Mississipi or Memphis, Tennessee. I'm a Tennessee Titans fan, but otherwise I have no link to either of these places either.Finally, of course our favourite caller, the one at 646-3601, called in between.Has anyone received a REAL phone call from any of these numbers?
