Clarification on my post re: the 250-483-0013 number. Using the internet phone to call a land line, the number 250-483-0013 appeared on the caller ID. The caller was in a totally different area code, not 250. Seems the voice over internet call emerges from the digital ether and connects to the land line system via 250-483-0013. And the number isn't associated with any one caller.
We've had a number of calls from 1-250-483-0013. My phone number was set up through Telus and transferred to Vonage, so I called Vonage to see about blocking the number from getting through. Unfortunately they can't do that, but what we can all do is report them to the police, who can work on shutting them down. Even though we can't get a name to go with the caller i.d., the police have better databases and every number has a name attached to it, so these annoying [***] CAN be tracked.
So far we've received 8 calls from this number, though we've gotten over 49 calls that are listed from 'unknown caller' and the person on the other end of the line is asking for the same person as from 483-0013.
Got a call from this number. The lady had an American accent and said her name was Leille. Also left a USA call back number of 425-766-4764. An internet search on the last number seems to suggest some kind of stock selling business?
The second number 425-766-4764 seems to be unrelated to the 250-483-0013. It was two different people. I tried to phone back 250-483-0013 but the line was always busy so maybe some automated calling thing or maybe some telephone company glitch? Maybe it's a common number of some sort that lots of businesses can use for free?
I have gotten a few from this number. The first one I missed and when I redialed it just hangs up automatically. The second time I got some indian telling me I won a free phone and all I have to do is tell them my account number. Obviously some shady foreigners up to no good. Whatever the hell they are going to do with my roger's account number I have no idea.
