It's possible that the number displayed was spoofed, and not actually the number from which the call originated; which means that the call may not actually have been coming from Alberta (Clagary, Edmonton). If the number displayed was spoofed, then the call could have originated almost anywhere. Unbelievable that it seems that nothing can be done about this stuff; even call blocking doesn't always help, because these marketers, scammers and whatever else, often change their displaying number on a regular basis. Also, marketers, etc. can buy a telephone number based almost anywhere they choose, having nothing to do with where they are actually located. Sometimes they will buy a number with a certain area code if that area code is a principal marketing target; makes it more likely that people will picik up the phone if they see a local area code..
"When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?" These scammers think by changing their number every time they call that we will fall for it. I answered, and immediately this recorded message I have heard for at least the last five years, said, "We have have made several attempts to contact you . . . to lower your credit card interest rates . . . this opportunity will soon expire . . . " Really!? And if I press the wrong number, this wonderful opportunity will forever be gone? Really?? it is not an opportunity - it is scam.
