March 15, 2010.  Caller ID showed Long Distance. This is a Toronto Area Code.  Hit the ##### key many times and hung up.  My number is on the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY.

Got a call from 416-000-0000 on Thursday and then a call from 416-001-2345 the following tuesday from an APPARENT company that can lower your interest rates on your visa and mastercard. HAHAHAHAHA!

So first of all...

- The guy could barely speak english. (Turned off immediately because it seems that any and every telemarketer out there can't speak english.)

- He wanted my credit card number over the phone... (Anyone who would give out their cc number to a [***] calling with a fake number is a complete retard!)

- When I asked who was calling he says: "I frum VISA and MASTERRRCARRRD and I lower rate for you." (Sure buddy, because visa and master card have decided to combine forces overnight! What a [***]!)


It seems like this dink calls in order of your local phone book as my old man got the same call those same mornings!


Funny stuff!

Have been getting calls from 416-111-1111 and now from 416-001-2345.  Don't answer any calls that I don't know the number.  So much for the 'National Do Not Call List' !!  Would really like them to stop calling.

They called and told me I applied for some summer marketing job online that would earn me approximately $10,000...which I'm pretty sure that I did. They even knew what school i was at and said I could go to a meeting on campus at certain times throughout the week, however, i was in class all those times so they said they'd call me next week. I honestly believed they were legit. Then they never called me back...but the fact that they knew the school I am at when they only called my cell is totally creepy....

I just received this call while I was on the line and call waiting displayed "Long Distance 1-416-000-0000" without any name so I ignored. What is really suspicious about the call is that I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which has the 416 area code so how could it register as long distance both with the caller ID and the distinctive tone (ring) pattern that comes through on call waiting. I'm fairly certain that the call did not originate in Toronto.
