Received a call from this number showing up as "Brit. Columbia." After a pause, the sound of a call centre could be heard and man with a foreign accent asked, "May I speak to the home owner?" That usually signifies it's a scam, so I hung up shortly after.

It's strange since we've received "Brit. Columbia" calls from legitimate callers before, and with this number being from Sechelt according to Google, I'm guessing the scammers hijacked someone's number.

I had the exact same experience.

We received a voice mail from a person who identified herself as "Sharon" from this same number.  "Sharon" did not have an accent.  Supposedly the call was from Sukhdip Aulakn.  I phoned back and was advised that the mail box was full.  I left a message for "Sharon" and she has never called back.
