Another scammer with a programmed random phone number being displayed. But in this case an area code with 555-1212 is the number for directory assistance.......they don't place calls to anyone!....you call them to get a phone number in another area code. Boy, that scammer got fleeced for that number!hahahahahaha! No message left on answer machine!
Call rang yester afternoon (Eastern TIme Zone)... Rang 1 ring then got diverted to Off Hours -Intercept (Called at 8 PM)... This scam artist is one of the dumber ones. 555-1212 in North America, as the previous poster mentioned is the number for Directory Assistance inbound only calls. So since it has NNX 555-1212 it can be safely ignored. The minions who run the phone systems all recognize this one, and sadly when they rang in the afternoon, with only one ring, then gave up, All the more reason to add to the scam list.
Probably the most obviously spoofed number of them all, as this is the Directory Assistance number for the 604 area code (B.C.). The number never calls out. I got a call on my cell but oddly it didn't ring the phone it just went straight into the "missed calls" list. Don't bother calling this one back - this will not be Telus, but a scammer. You can safely block it though as D.A. will never phone anyone!
