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.
I have been rudely awaken by this number numorous times! Today I went on line to see if I could find out who it belonged to and sure enough I have found this site and Im not the only victim. I get mumerous calls a week from unavaliables that hang up and bizarre numbers that I dont bother calling back. I too am in Victoria and am getting really sick of it.Lets hope we catch him/her!!!The funny thing is I have aprivate number!!!
It appears to be related to Vonage. Our caller id with vonage was working fine but, now it comes up incorrectly ((250-483-0013)). I've put in a call with vonage to have our caller id re-initialized so we will see what happens from there.
got a call on my cell today from this number and they said they wanted me to invest in a diamond mine with minimum 10,000.00$ investment....tried to call back and they says call cannot be completed as dialed...they said the investment time is just about to run out...red flags everywhere...
I do believe this is also a # for a phone sex line. Yes, I do use these services, a U.S. one in particular, which is a "call-back" service -- you call the main # and then they contact a girl to call you back. I do live in Victoria BC and have seen this # come up during call-backs.
