I also got a call from (705) 725-8710 and the lady told me to turn on my PC there were potential threats on it.  I asked where she was from and she said "Online PC support".  I said I had an anti-virus program on my computer that I was confident in.  She told me that wouldn't stop it and that I was not the only person getting this call, all PC users were.  I asked again where she was from and she started yelling at me saying that she already told me then told me my address (which was correct).  I told her to stop yelling at me and to not call me again and I hung up.

Gang, you have to listen (or read in this case! hehehe) what Uth said on September 26th of last year!!  For goodness sake, just stop answering the call.  He/She is correct.  This IS a computer calling to confirm live numbers and every time you answer it or call it back you are giving your number over to shady telemarketing companies who want to harass you.  Welcome to the age of technology!

Now, on the Do Not Call List - DON"T USE IT!!  This list is being sold by our government to any telemarketing company who's willing to pay for it.  Canadian law can only regulate Canadian businesses.  It is companies with call centres NOT located in Canada that are calling and harassing you now.  Any person can easily pretend to be a telemarketer and purchase the DNC list right off the website and download it!  It's ridiculous.  

The list is sold so that telemarketers within Canada can use the list for the purpose it was designed for. However, typical Canada (and I love my country with every fibre of my being) are too naive to realize that there are creeps out there who will find a way around it.  Unfortunately, the government did not put any barriers on the site where the list can be purchased to stop the list from getting into the "wrong" hands.

After watching an expose news piece about this (it was either 5th Estate or that new Global show on Saturday), I went online to see if it was true.  Well, I bought the list and I'm a nobody - I don't even own a company.  

We all just handed over our cell phone, home, fax and every other number to these creeps.  Silly us!

It's a ghost. Maybe one that knew you and is trying to connect with you

I have received 2 calls in the last couple days from this number, tey will not leavae a message or even say who is calling, they make it sound like they know me. When I call it back the number is out of service,

I got a call from (705) 727-9951 on my home phone..They said," is this 78 Ross Street?"  They then hung up when I said it wasn't

I would assume this is a virtual number (VOIP?) we just got a call and the guy said sorry I must have the wrong number.
