000-012-3456

Calls started about 9:15PM PST time on 1/4/08.  Two males on line, sounded like they were responding to a Craigslist ad.  When questioned, they said line was crossed and would call back, which they did with different story, wanted to make a reservation.  When going to call police mentioned begged me not to as caller was mentally [***] and wasn't supposed to be on phone.  Hung up and they called back asking to speak to my wife about her vibrator.  Since then called several times, about every 10 minutes and we simply hung up.

If anyone is looking to get together to take action, please post details.

I get calls from this number ALL the time.  In fact I usually get calls from this number once or twice a week.  It's always a recorded message offering U.S. credit cards or vacations.  As soon as I hear the recorded message I hang up.  These people never stop calling.  

I know from the number this call is from a Skype member.  So I'm going to complain to Skype.  I just phoned my local phone company Rogers... but as usual, they don't want to do anything.  Why should any phone company want to stop this?  They make money from this.  Tele-marketers make long distance calls (money for the phone companies), and if you try to change your number (they make another fee).  So why should they want to stop this???  

Perhaps if we published the phone numbers of every member of Parliament with these tele-marketers, the government would do something to stop it.

I went to Skype's web site and I filled in the form to register harassing phone calls.  http://support.skype.com/index.php?_a=tickets&_m=submit

EVERYONE SHOULD START COMPLAINING TO SKYPE SO THAT THEY MAY STOP THIS CALLER FROM BOTHERING EVERYONE IN NORTH AMERICAN THAT HAS A PHONE!


"I... as well as thousands of other phone numbers are constantly being abused by a Skype member that shows up as 000-012-3456 on my (non-Skpe home phone).  I live in Toronto Canada and two to three time a week I receive calls from this phone number.  A recording comes on and it offers home loans and Bloomingdale credit cards.  Sometimes I get calls for vacations.  It is illegal for American firms (not licensed to operate in Canada) to offer credit cards or loans to Canadians.  Bloomingdales doesn't have any stores in Canada... so they are not licensed to offer credit cards to Canadians.  This Skype member that is blitzkrieging every phone in North America is going too far, and it has to stop.

To show you just how bad this Skype user is... go to this web site, and see just how many North American's are complaining about this Skype member calling them all the time!  https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-000-012-3456

I'm asking Skype to PLEASE BLOCK THIS PERSON OR CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION FROM CALLING EVERY PHONE IN NORTH AMERICA!  PLEASE!  I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THESE CALLS!"

I get a call from this # maybe once a week but I never answer. It is very annoying especially concidering I just got a new unlisted # to stop this crap.

Same as others, a telemarketing recording from this number.

Have complained to Skype (thanks itunesbrian for doing the footwork on that) and add this text they have on the subsequent (submission) page.

"Can I lose my number? Can it be taken away?
Yes, you can lose your number if you do not follow the SkypeIn terms of service mentioned during the purchase process. Unfortunately, if you don't use your number as per the policy and in some cases at a minimum usage level, then the carrier takes it away"

Will post any response from Skype.

Got one from this number today. The last question - about whether this call was a Skype user abusing the system or just Skype themselves - led me to look closely at the Skype website. The telltale sign there (other than that Skype is now owned by the Goliath eBay Inc.) is that the ONLY ways they permit outsiders to contact them is via a submitted web contact form. In other words they do not feel compelled to make an actual physical address or telephone numbers available for inquiries. Truly, that is the mark of a SCUMMY company if there ever was one. I will be using my excellent "Phone Tray" product (free and great, look it up on google!) to block out this and any other Skype-based numbers. If my friends try to call me via Skype? Too bad for them I guess...

If you are in Canada press *69 after the call it may tell you which number it is.  USA and other country have same concept with differents numbers.

Didn't answer it, but I thought What A wierd phone#. It sounds made up especially with the 0123456. Just plain strange

phone rang and it was the number so i answered it and then hung up, how do i stop these [***] people from callin my house

This number called so many time but nobody was there when we picked up the phone.

Yes, it is indeed a Skype call.  My friend prank called me using a soundboard that he had previously showed me.

It was a soundboard of a guy with a new York accent saying that he wanted me to give him his money or he'd crack my head open in the middle of a bank.

I had some people over this morning and they were on the 2 computers that we have networked together. They were on hotmail, facebook and msn messenger. At 10:37am the phone rang from unknown name 000-012-3456. There was a males voice in a deep whispy voice and when i said hello the voice said " you're dead"

This is absurd!  I have a list of 7 different calls from the past 2 days alone.  The other numbers seem to be telemarketers or something, but why the sudden onslaught?  I'd never had this problem before and now it seems like every f*cking moron has my number.  Do you think these jerks are swapping/selling phone numbers with each other?
I admit I only get dead air when I answer... thankfully

Hi,
Please read the postings, starting at the last ones that are at 310-455-6048.  Those numbers will be the one's to start calling and requesting to have your number removed. Can also use their internet page, but don't put in your email address as a reference, use theirs.

The reason the calls are repeated is that is all machine generated, and they keep calling back.  People who even have unlisted phone numbers are getting the calls.  It's because they are just going through every single phone number possible and machine calling. Keep records..keep a notebook by the phone and keep writing details down in case you need it in future..If you have to get phone company or CRTC involved.....good luck

I've had calls from this number twice a week for quite a while. In the beginning I answered, and no-one was there. I just leave them to ring, now.

I had 2 calls today at 2:00pm and 2:01 EST. I didn't answer, and they didn't call back or leave a message.

Did not know area code 000 and was curious.  Nobody talked and I hung up.
Next time I'll know better.  What call display for anyway?  Let's use it and not answer this kind of call
