I suspect that they have Rogers cell phone list. Are you on Rogers?
I did not have this problem with Telus or Bell, but have had Debt Consolidation and other marketing type calls on my Rogers cellular.
There is a new Do Not Call list in Canada that may help. Don't know if it works for Cell phones, and may not work for calls originating outside Canada.
December 26, 2008 08:13 am (PST) I received a call from this number. I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer it. No message was left. At 12:48 pm (PST)I sent a text to the number (971) 307-2014 apologizing for missing the call earlier and said "call back if you'd like". I immediately received the following text message:
"Error Invalid Number message text asking me to re-send the message using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code."
I then googled the number, found this site and others like it that contained similar information. Obviously this is an automated number associated with a call-center type marketing scheme.
I am glad that I located this site and will use it in the future when I receive unknown numbers. I will also pass this information along to friends and colleagues.
Thanks,

We have been receiving missed calls from 971-307-2014. Called the number back said this is an unallocated phone number. Thought that I would search the number online found this site just by searching unallocated number. I find kind of weird that so many other people are being bothered by this also!
