Female said she was from bell aliant and my number qualified for a free smart phone, gave me three choices, I said I wasn't interested and then it was just dead air, so I hung up... Tried to call the number back and it just days disconnected.

A client of mine has frequently called me from her home located about 1000 km from my own home/office. ?When she calls, my own phone's Caller ID screen gives the calling number as 1-(902) 406-8325, which is absolutely NOT any of her phone numbers and is instead a number of my local phone area.  When I called that (902) number to investigate, a message replied that that number was not in service.  I reported the matter to my client, who believes this confusion is caused by the fact that she uses the SKYPE system for her long-distance calls (this system is more economical), and it seems SKYPE is reusing local "dead" numbers as callers' numbers for the Caller ID screens of the phones of the local persons who get long-distance Skype calls.  I know almost nothing on Skype except that it allows calls to be made frm the caller's computer.  I guess the bizarre events reported by other people called from that number, are due to improper use of the Skype system or of the caller's computer.

Had the same call. "Bell Aliant". Worker called me "lovely lady", which was enough to make me hang up regardless of whether it was scam or not. I've probably ignored the number about 6 times since.

Ya know, I'm pretty sure it's a skype "outlet" number...So you'll never know who is really going to be there. Family called from skype on this... and so did the guy who burped while he was trying to do a survey with Bert and Ernie.

1:00 p.m. August 11, 2011, Got a call, one of those typical computer-generated ones where the person on the other end doesn't start talking till the second time you say "Hello", and then you hear lots of other operators talking in the background at a call center.Speaker said he was "James", calling from <mumble mumble>. I said "Please take my number off your calling list." He said "No." I hung up.Really glad to see other comments here, to know that this is a dummy number being used for internet-based calling. That explains a lot. Effing telemarketers and scammers!!

I get up to 5 calls a day from this number on my work phone..... It leaves a message which is just a single beep and call ends... it is really getting to me!!
