Received a call from 1-412-222-2222. Left no message. Located Flamborough, Ontario, Canada.
Recieved first call from an unknown number (*67 blocked i'm guessing?) at 6.23 pm, the same day at 7.25 pm i am called by 1-412-222-2222. In both cases i pick up say 'Hello?' twice into complete silence, and am hung up on. Both calls last 7 seconds. I tried to call back the many-2'd number but got a pre-recorded male voice after the first ring that told me my call could not be completed.
Had been called 3 times in 6 minutes so far. It's probably a predictive dialer, that drops 7 lines as soon as one of its 8 lines answers. The system redials when the operator is ready to dial again (My opinion). This is all Voice over IP new systems, undetectable probably, except through the ISP like Rogers maybe here in Toronto. Also that company maybe displaying any number or name they want, its a feature on the portal of these systems. When someone answers, if you're lucky enough to finally talk with them, simply say to be removed from the list. If they have any integrity you may be spared in the future. They now got me too.
Got a call saying it was the national post and they were not selling anything, they would give me a news paper free for 4 months and cancled automaticaly after that peroid. They needed no personal information just my name an phone number, i said thats personal and how did you get my cell phone number, the lady hung up on me...
when i call from my home phone which is area code 416, this number 1-412-222-2222 shows up on the person's number that i'm calling. My husband went with a new provider and this so so confusing to me. He refused to say who the provider is.
He called just now. I'm in Toronto. I spoke to the guy... no idea what he's selling because he had a very very strong foreign accent (Indian maybe?). I heard it's tax free, but that's it. I said "not interested" and hung up. The call display said his name was "salman" (all in lower case)
got a call... saying they're located in Tampa and that I entered a contest at RIBFEST for a free florida/cruise holiday. which was true... appearantly i won... but they needed my credit card info that moment else it was null!! i could hear the whole call center in the background!
i think they use this number to scam people. got a call from a guy named nelson and according to him he works for consumers center. he told me i won something from a raffle? which i'm sure i did not join. this is a scam for sure.
Got a call from this guy claiming that I have won some prize in a draw, when I asked which store and details, he told me Foodbasics in Mississag which I know I did not enter as I do not live close to there. I refused further conversation. This is a scam and watch out.
