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.

I've been called by them numerous times too! ?We don't want it, whether it's a scam or not (now leaning towards it being a scam)...I always tell them to put me on their do not call list and ask them many times over if they clearly understand my request?  Always leaves them speechless, and not having a comeback.  I'm definately not changing my home # because of these guys, but if they keep calling, I'm going to find out where to lodge a complaint of harassement.

widh this would stop. i am sure the phone company(s) know who it is but are being paid way to much to care about you and me

Got a call from this bogus number as well, be ware...

Got a call from (902) 406-8325 they said that you won a trip the girl on the other end. toll her they had the wrong number and hung up the phone.

I received a call on Saturday, 27 November saying that I had been pre-selected for a free cell phone.  All I had to do was pay for the 3 year rental agreement.  I started saying "I don't need a cell phone." over and over like a mantra.  After saying this about 10 times, she gave up on me and started asking me if there was anyone else in the house who wanted a free cell phone.  When I said "NO", she said "Okay, have a good day."  I could tell she was not impressed with my tactics.  The woman had a very thick South Asian accent.  They did not say who they were.  I smelled a scam right from the get-go.  The local number does slip under the radar.  I know better than to answer toll-free numbers on the weekends.
