I also received a call from this number on Feb 17/09 @ 1:11 p.m. I didn't answer the call because the number didn't look legitimate. In the past number of weeks I've received a number of calls from odd numbers (area codes 202, 818 & 410). Now that I think about it - this seems to have started SINCE I put my cell number on the do not call list. I also am a Rogers customer so I am thinking that perhaps they have sold a list of customer numbers to other parties.
I also received a call from this number. I am with Telus. I first thought maybe Telus sold a list to them, but then I don't think this is as sophisticated as everyone thinks. They are likely just going through all the combinations for a given prefix. It's simple! Doesn't seem like they are targeting anyone in particular, just random. It's easy for them to just have a autodialer call every number, in sequence.
Have 6 phones...all Rogers...all inundated with these 416-000-XXXX calls. My other phone providers do not have this problem. Rogers will not support at all...(not surprising due to their absolute lack of any support...they train their staff to sell cell's....not support customers.
