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

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.

This number must be a switch board number, simply because I got a call from this number today and it is actually from Indeed.com. Every few weeks, one of Indeed account manager calls our company as a courtesy to check  if we need any help as we post a lot of jobs on Indeed.

So judging by all the comments on this thread, I am assuming this number is probably an outgoing number from a switchboard.

called and said he was from bchydro. how much was our bill.... am i the owner of this house.... do i live here.... whats my age....
i said i dont think you should be asking me that. let me talk to your supervisor and he hung up.

got a call from this number today, did not say anything, then hung up, called me 5 times today, last time they called, I just did not answer!

just an update , The only way I could have got a call to this number is through a resume I replied with on CraigsList. so be aware that it might not be for a real job...
