Same - I got a call from 1-250-412-5717 at 4:45 pm, no voice, a hang up. Telemarketers and scammers are getting totally out of hand and phone providers are not doing enough. We're on the do not call list yet we get a call nearly every night at dinner.
This week alone there were probably 5 calls including one at 2 AM!! - with computerized clicking then hang up. The night before a scammer claiming to be a techie from Windows 7, offering to take remote control of my computer to fix it. Said I was sending malicious viruses. The caller had an Indian type accent. His supervisor finally came on and threatened that he was the FBI and was going to put me in jail. It would be funnier if it were not SO annoying and if gullible people and trusting seniors didn't fall for this abuse and corruption.
