Selling furntiture and fortunately it was already sold. Phoned back to check on number and got long weird tone as well. Local Abbotsford number (604) 855-7584 was Googled and it showed a residence on James Street by Old Yale Road.

This is like Vancouver's default number when they can't figure out the caller ID. It sometimes also appears to be when I receive international calls.

i got a call from this number on my cell phone, i pick up and no one says anything. called it back and you get a long as* busy tone. I keep getting these damn calls

I also have received calls from this number, but in two different places. First, I get it on my cell phone. I don't answer, and sometimes I get a voicemail afterwards that is nothing but static.

Second, at work, when someone from our head office calls us, their actual phone number is disguised for some reason, and comes up as this number on our internal phone display.

I suspect that the number itself, (604) 855-7584, is a default cover-up number when someone is on caller id blocking.

I got a call from this number, and when I answered no one was there.  I answered, HELLO three times, and nothing.  About a minute later though, I got a message on SKYPE that my daughter had tried to call from Germany and I had answered and said HELLO three times but couldn't hear her.

I called her back on SKYPE and sure enough it was her that had called.  I assume that the number (604) 855-7584 is a number that routes SKYPE calls.  

This could be why you get the long busy signal when you try to call it back, and that no one can trace the number to anyone.  

This means that you are either getting a legitimate call from someone you know from SKYPE and it just doesn't connect through to you.

It is also true then that if the call connects and someone speaks to you and tries to scam you, that they are using SKYPE to make these types of calls.

Hope this explanation helps someone figure out who may be calling.

calls everyday. left a message one time, saying they are from some country in africa, and they want to send me some money.. scams! they even send me text messages wanted to be my friend.. soo annoying! i've seen these type of scams from dateline!
