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?

I figured everything out. I just purchased a $5 Global Saver card from waytelecom.ca . Used their Toll Free Access number and dialed from two different cell phone providers Bell Canada and Telus. One showing unknown and other is showing (416) 646-3601. It looks like Mobile providers is spoofing the number for some reason. I can understand, they are loosing long distance business to Way Telecom, but why spoof the number?

P.S.
Way Telecom does offer pretty cheap long distance calls.

I just got a call from this number and the person was like "HELLO, do you speak Chinese?", no joke.Needless to say I hung up.I tried calling it back and it was a dial tone, as though the # didn't exist!

called me, but i didn't answer, did not leave message, glad to know it was scam

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.

Received 17 calls from these losers this morning.  This company is a joke.  Do not answer their calls or give them one dime.  I never dealt with them or anyone they are collecting for.  They say I owe them $300 from payday loans.  I have Never even entered into a payday loan office.  They don't care that they have me confused with someone else.  They just make the same threats they are making to other posts.
Do Not answer their calls.  You never have to pay them.  They violate every Fair Debt Collection Laws that you can imagine.  Further, I contacted the Better Business Bureau of New York. Call them yourself and complain - (212) 533-6200.
These losers will not even give me their alleged names.
Do not pay them.  They cannot do anything to your credit!
