This is just the number for Ryerson University.. Nothing sinister.

I suggest this is in fact Ryerson, although I believe also subject to abuse by students etc. This number just called and while I was looking it up here on this site, my teenager answered. I asked them who they were talking to and it was their friend, calling from Ryerson.Look folks, here's the set-up i have that has reduced my telephone grief dramatically. You know do-not-call lists are ineffective, but here's the next best approach and doesn't rely on outside aid. Go buy a Hiro USB 56K modem from TigerDirect = $30. Then go get for free, a program called PhoneTray for your PC. Plug your phone-jack into the USB modem, run software. Set it to answer on one ring to preempt your answering service. The software is infinitely user-definable. Block 800/888, entire area codes (California etc for example) Block all calls starting with EG: 979, etc etc. Build your list as you get the calls.  Auto hang-up, play pre-defined 'put me on your do-not-call' list voice messages - whatever you want. It's all there. Works with Bell, VOIP etc. All you need is call display which you likely have anyway. "Private Numbers" can be handled how you define them.Easy. Effective.

Spoofed number from a prank caller.

they call me every saturday! i didn't even go to ryerson.

Pain in the [***].

I just received a call from this number stating 'I am calling from Ryerson, I have an invoice to pay you for your Samsung phone, but unless you give me information about you, starting with your complete name, I will not pay out this invoice'.  I said,  I do not work nor study at Ryerson, I do not have any associations with Ryerson, therefore, I am not releasing any personal details to you.  I asked 'who are you and where do you work?', the answer was 'I am calling from Ryerson', but that did not answer my question, so I just ended the call.  This is definitely a scam, they are using Ryerson's telephone for the wrong reasons.  Be Careful.
