Ive been having the same problem. i've received at least 10 messages from these people, i was waiting to be able to actually answer on one of these calls so i could actually press 2 but the call ended before i could. This is really quite annoying, hopefully someone finds out who is doing this and why.
Same message as above. Expiring warranty on my car (that I don't have).
Got the same message on a Los Angeles cellphone number when I was there months ago. I was actually intrigued before being pissed off as to whom is trying to run this scam internationally. Must be some kind of outfit.
Same thing, got the pre-recorded message about car warranty expiring. I know a few other people who have gotten these 416-000-xxxx calls, all on cell phones. I am wondering where these people get their call lists, or if they simply look up registered cell exchanges and simply run through 0000-9999... I'm less concerned about the call itself and more concerned about whether or not my number is being sold to telemarketers.
so i had this and the 416-000-7691 (which seem to be the same thing) call me over the past few days... I don't pick up but from reading both numbers' pages on here I can only deduce that its a scam to add numbers to a call list... they call you up and if you answer they have to give you the option (in Canada at least) to remove yourself from the list... if you do not choose to do so but you did pick up then they know that the random number they just tried does have a person at the other end and unless you remove yourself, you are now added to some other list...
I don't own car insurance.
It doesn't seem to matter but I'm with SOLO (part of Bhell)
exact same as everyone else. very irritating. i am outraged and have no idea how they retreived my number. said it was the 2nd message about my car insurance and that i needed to update it? i do not have a car, so clearly this is a telemarketing scam that needs to be halted.
