I am called daily from this number - car warranty expired. Please someone - put a stop to this harassment.

These f***ers along with the following are calling my private cell number:

416-000-7911
202-495-7170
909-842-9108
208-991-1197

I have no idea how the f*** they got my number, but I have a feeling that once one of my family members placed my private cell number (Rogers) on the do not call list these f***ers started calling.  I did not answer cause I have a feeling these guys are the same as the above f***ers.

They want your car info so they can stell information

called my Calgary ROGERS cell phone Feb 25, 2009
Didn't answer it, I'm GLAD!!
Stupid SPAMMERS D i E

Glad to know I'm not the only one, I've gotten a couple calls from the numbers
416 000 3571,
416 000 7954, and a whole bunch of area codes from the States - for the record I'm in the Halton region. I really hope someone comes up with a solution, 'cause this is just ridiculous.

yes, i know few people in ON also getting calls from few different "000" numbers.

Called, I NEVER answer these anymore since I've gotten them so many times. I do not have a learner's permit, a license, or a car. The sooner this gets solved, the better.

The number keeps changing. This one ends in 1963.

I've gotten 4 of these numbers. they keep calling me during the afternoon. I don't ever asnwer my phone if I don't know who it is.

1-416-000-7943
1-416-000-5597
1-416-000-1493
1-416-000-4619

if your getting this on a cell phone call your Provider and complain.

I started getting these weird 416-000-xxxx calls within one week of getting my new Rogers cell phone (was previously with Bell).  I never got these calls on my Bell cell.  I have received 416-000-5597 and 416-000-4963.  Luckily, compared to many of the other posters here, I have only received one call from each of the two numbers.  And I've not answered either call nor do they leave messages.  Even though I'm not being harassed (yet)like many of you, I still hate it.

I get these phone calls while at school, work, and home. It's really beginning to tick me off. This number called me this evening.

I have been getting calls from this number too 4160005597
and late at night.

auto warranty to expire, I told the girl where to go.

when i got this call i was at work, my colleague also got the same call the same day. i thought the call sounded pretty fake since i don't even own a car. neither does my colleague. my advice just dont answer your phone if this number comes up!

Yep I'm in calgary too and I've had a voicemail from these people at least 3 or 4 times in the past month.  Annoying.

Yes I too have been getting this phone number.  Glad I was intelligent to look it up online though and see your emails.  Appreciate it.  I am with Telus and did as was recommended - put the number in your cell phone and list it under group Unwanted Calls - place ringer to NO RING for Group and ta-da, don't have to worry about number ringing again.  Yippee!  Thanks again for the advice.  

I also added the other number with 4848 at the end.  Perfect!  Here is another number that calls as well.

1-416-000-1493

They are persistent, aren't they?  Yikes.

LISTEN UP PEOPLE ...I HEARD THAT CELL PHONE COMPANIES ARE GIVING OUR PHONE NUMBERS TO MARKETING BUSINESS .IN THIS WAY BOTH OF THEM MAKE MONEY IN DEEP RECESSION.

I've gotten this call three times and I live in Calgary! I picked it up the second time just to find out and it was the recording about how my auto insurance is about to expire. I don't even own a car!

calls on my cellphone as well as my wife's phone. Says my warrantee on something is up.

They've called my cell and my home number.
last time they called my home number, THEN my cell.
(416-000-xxxx) and it really really really creeps me out
makes me feel like someone's stalking me.

someone please stop this,

i noticed i had a missed call on my cell and when i looked at it, it was 416-000-1397. This was on Feb 23rd at 11:56 am. I live in ontario and i know 416 is Toronto, i tried calling it later on and it just rang and rang.

Called me twice in two hours, but I didn't answer it because I didn't recognize it. As a rule, I don't pick up numbers I don't recognize or in this case, look fake - 000, really?

CAn`t you stop this place from calling us?????

This is ridiculous, I've been receiving calls from all these numbers and it's a good thing I don't answer. But I am frustrated that they won't stop calling me.

Just as many people have been reporting with the 1-416-000-XXXX, I got one from 1-416-000-4848 telling me my auto insurance is about to expire. I'm sure this will probably open the flood gates to them for the fact I answered the phone. Why aren't there strict laws against these scams?

hey,
just like everyone, i got a call today at abour 1:50 pm toronto time from 1 416 000 5597
accidently answered the call cuz i was in college and the phone rang in class
it is a pure scam cuz after a while when i called back it said not in service.. which pissed me off...
P.S. iv been recieving the auto warranty expiry calls quite often...
i did take it down to the police, but they said they cannot help it..
the worst part is that these calls come in at 2 or 3am in the morning

best solution: dont answer calls that look suspicious or that yyou are not expecting and while giving ur phone number to someone, always get their calling number so you know who it is!! that is what im doing now.. and trust me .. its working pretty good for me!

I live in Ontario. This number 416-000-5597 called me twice last week. I answered when it called a third time and nobody spoke, but i did say hello. Came upon this site and saw whats been happening. Later on in the day, I received a call from 571-261-0113 which is an area in the state of Virginia. I didn't answer because if this is a scam, i predict the 416-000-5597 is the beginning. If you answer the phone when the 416 number calls, then they know somebody owns the phone. I don't know anyone in Virginia, so that's another reason I didn't bother answering. My small advice, keep yourself updated by checking up numbers that call you and you don't know who they are, or just don't answer to ppl you don't know. Hope fully this helps others as this site helped me big time.

You can record "silence" and assign this recorded file as ringtone to unwanted contact group

I just got this call a few minutes ago.
416-000-5597
And this number twice on February 20th.
416-000-9971


I'm with Telus as well.

Friggin annoying.

Come to think of it, we only received about a handful of telemarketer/scam calls in YEARS of cell use - and then we signed on to the DO NOT CALL list.

I would like to suggest that if you have not yet registered with the Canadian DO NOT CALL LIST ....
               ...... DON'T DO IT - you will be inundated with these types of calls

i keep getting calls every day for the last week from 416-000-5597. i tried calling back but they say number is no longer in service.
