It is a call from Crime Stoppers Nova Scotia asking for monetary support for the annual campaign- they more than likely have an automated dialer which often leads to delayed and dropped calls. These types of calls aren't blocked from the Do Not Call lists because it's a registered charity registering a formal complaint will result in egg in your face, much like Bell :)
I just got a call from this number, for the 2nd time they've simply just hung up in my ear. This time I called them back and advised them if I am to receive another call like this from their number, I will be lodging a formal complaint with the National Do Not Call list - I've been on there since Oct 2008....also asked them if they want to end up like Bell just did...and if so, keep it up.

I rec'd a call from the above number consisting of 12 seconds of dead air before I hung up. If it is from a Non-Profit Org, that wouldn't be the way to start a request for contributions.
dead air then hang up, if it's crime stoppers or such, is it possible that's the initial way to start or stop a tap on a phone...........
just curious, it was the first time i ever picked up to answer a call (on the cordless) and the phone didn't go thru this weird sound like it always did and it was clear as could be, as it usually did a loud squeal/fuzzy sound
I'm glad I finally know where this number is coming from. For the past three months it keeps showing up on my phone at least three times a day. Will they ever give up calling....
