We get calls from this number sometimes as frequently as 5 times a week.  Most of the time there is no answer.  A few times we have spoken to someone who says they are from the cancer society or the firemen's association selling tickets for a magic show.  When we get a person we asked to be taken off their call list.  We've decided to answer and then hang up as soon as it connects.  Feels rude but this is a real nuisance we are trying to discourage.

This number is a calling # that will show up on your caller ID when people dail a certain number that gives you free long distance calls to anywhere in north america. I used to have the number and website but I can't remember it.  Anyways many companies including large ones like Rogers and Fido as well as bill or debt collectors all have started using this number to call clients or customers.  The (604) 855-7584 number is just the default routing phone # that is used to call customers in the lower mainland.  I will try to find the website again because it is handy to use to call anywhere for free.  Companies on the other hand should not be so cheap and they should not be allowed to use it because it covers their true identity.

I get a call from this number everyday.  person on the end says they are calling form rogers and its a customer service courtesy call.  I asked them to remove my number from the calling list as I don't want to receive theese calls.  the paerson twice said they will do and won't call again but I'm still receiving these calls.  I think its fraudulant.

Hi,I just received a call from this number and it was a marketing call for a special event at The Brick.  After I answered there was a long pause then a recorded message came on.  I have given them permission to contact me for special events so all is good.Cheers

My commodities broker calls me from Chicago and this number comes up. On another thread this number is identified as a major carrier trunk line. That is it is a major feed line for calls coming into Canada. It is probably used mainly by companies marketing some product or service but it also appears with cellular calls across the border. Roaming on cell, etc.

Or it could be boogie men, that sounds reasonable too!!!
