Received a call from this number inquiring about a credit card. Asked for me by name. When I inquired about which Bank he was with, he said the name of a bank I do not use. I then asked for his name and his number at the bank and that I would call him back. He hung up at that point.

Caller called and spoke in my mother tongue, Tamil and said that Telus has received complaints about our phone being used by Telemarketers. My husband asked what is your ID and call back number and he gave his Telus ID as 08 TEL 619 and gave 1 +1 866-585-1111 as a call back number. My husband said that he would call him back and hung up. I did google search on this number and got this thread.Previously there were calls from a Nebraska or Utah number who would just keep silent whenever we pick up. We stopped picking up calls from unknown numbers . But, this number caught us by surprise.

I got a call today, March 16, 2009, around 5:15 pm.  It was a lady that asked me if I knew Chinese in Mandarine.  It really irritated me because when I first picked up she kept on saying hello to me and I already said hello back...  So I didn't know what she wanted until she finally spoke Chinese. I told her sorry you got the wrong number and she said sorry and hung up.  No idea what that was about. Probably a telemarketer

Some idiot called from this number telling my wife that we "won a  trip for two to Florida" and then started prying for personal information.

Thankfully my wife just hung up on her.
