called me and went to a recording that the 'factory warranty on my vehicle was about to expire' Press 1 to speak with an agent or 2 to be remvoed from a list

I keep getting calls from these numbers as well!
I got it like 5 times in a row the other day..for some reason, I couldn't answer it ..and today when i had called my brother i got a call from the number at the same time and it froze my phone for a while and I was unable to go back to my other call..

But, when I had checked my call logs though..the number did not show up there..but I'm positive that it is the same number!

got a call on cell phone from number.  did not recognize number so I did not answer. no message left.  I'm in AB.On Feb 20 at 4:17 pm.
Caller ID: 4160007793

received call from 4160007793 15:00hr, 2.20.09.
did not answer. did not know number. they filled up my voice mail with their stupid automated answer. i erased it as soon as i heard "may have expired". i have heard the warnings. friends sent email that indicated that call was from Carribbean and cost hundreds of dollars a minute to talk. not sure of that info, but better safe than sorry!

The people at 1-416-000-7793 are a bunch of FUC*ERS.
The people at 1-416-000-8972 are a bunch of FUC*ERS.
Why the hell are they allow to do this?
Why the hell is the do-not-call list such an F'ing disaster?

wait, but if the government asked them to stop calling our cellphones in Jan, then why haven't they?

- fellow Albertern who has had 3 household members with 3 different cellphones get calls today.

Got a call on my cell phone from 416-000-7793 at 5:25 pm Alberta time.
Did not pick up...Rogers told me that Govt has asked them to release all cell #s as of Jan 09. That could be the reason why we are getting these calls.

I recently got a call from this number and didn't answer the phone!!

These calls were recently profiled on the news.  Apparently, some people in the US are utilizing the Canadian "Do Not Call" registry for these purposes.  Supposedly, telemarketers are required to cross reference these do not call listings and remove these numbers from their own databases.  However, since nobody has been prosecuted under the newer Canadian laws people are using this regularly updated list to place solicitation calls and scams.  Fun isn't it.

 My wife and I have both noticed an increase in telemarketer calls, both to our home and cell phones, since we put ourselves on the national list.  I am willing to bet that pretty much everyone who is getting these calls, is also on the "do not call" list.

I just got the call from these same guys too. It was this man with a southern accent. Reminded me of someone from Texas.

I asked him what this was all about and why they kept calling my phone. He started going on about warranty about my car. And I was like "what? I don't need a warranty for my car!" Then he said "I'll put you on the 'do not call list. Have a good evening.'" and hung up on me.

What the heck. This is has been going on for the past few weeks, but I always miss the calls. Me and my bf have both been getting cut off messages of blah blah warranty on our voicemail.

Keep receiving these calls from 3 different numbers, they are 416-000-7793, 416-000-3149 and 416-001-364, this last one is odd. I never pick up so I have no idea who it is but reviewing all this info I now know, thanks.

Not seeing any solutions to this and it has been asked by a few people already, is this fixable or do we just not answer?

Just received a call from this number on my cell. Fortunately I found this webpage and saw that the number was a bad call.  Can anything be done to stop this?  This is my third call from this number or a similar one.

Did not pick up.

I just got a call from them on my work phone. I pressed 1 and spoke to a woman with a southern accent. I live in Canada. I told them I don't have a car. She asked if anyone in my household had a car. I said no. She said she will put my number on her do not call list. We will see.

I keep getting phone calls from this number on my cell phone.  It costs me money to receive calls on my cell phone and pick up voicemails if I don't answer.  It shouldn't be allowed.

I keep getting these calls on my mobile phone, which really annoys me as it costs me money on received calls and retrieving voicemails.  If anyone knows how I can stop them calling I would be very grateful.

I've had this call on my cellphone, my husbands cellphone AND our landline phone.
I've never answered it & always just got the recording.
I wondered about it though, as we have a newer car, but assumed I would get something in the mail first, before I would get a call. Never using names. I was sure it was a scam.
I always google numbers like this. I'm glad I did this time!

i got a scam call from 1-416-000-7793. I picked up the phone and said hello.

no voice, silence. but I did heard a sound like click, the line was discontinued.

I used *69 and got the phone number. I called back and telus msg show that this number is incorrect.

Apparently, this is a faked caller ID.

I was troubled recently by this type of phone call. Should we contact police?

Thanks

My girlfriend and I have been getting calls from these guys.  I'm suspicious that they may have gotten the number from either Honda or the insurance company as the calls started coming after we dealt with these two companies.    

Has anyone else gone to a vehicle dealership recently before getting these calls?  Or has anyone dealt with an insurance agency?

"Vehicle warranty" recording. Yeah, I don't think so.
This is annoying so many people, and everyone I know is getting these calls. How can we make it stop???

So it is very possible that they are just autodialing through all Canadian phone numbers. That would explain why you first hear a recording. That is typical of an autodialer system. Yup, these guys are total scum!

Its a scam JUST ignore it!

I have gotten calls on both land lines and cell phones.  They left a message on my land line but not my cell phone.

You say they told you that you owned a vehicle after 1990? I wonder what that actually means? I would think pretty much all vehicle owners are qualified on that statement. Also, do they really offer warranties on vehicles that are up to 19 years old? I seriously doubt that!

I have nothing to do with BMO. I did notice that all the calls my friends and I have received came on our cell phones though. Has anyone gotten this call on a landline?

oh I'm sure they would of tried for address
So I'd say also possible vehicle thefts

416-000-7793
I got a call twice in 2 minutes from these guys, on 2 different numbers, there is only one company that has both of the numbers under my name BMO... Any one else with Bank of Montreal getting these calls?

I have gotten a few calls from a few different numbers. Even if they turned out to be legit, I would never do business with someone who tries to scare me into buying their product by telling me that my warranty is about to expire! If the company is a fake, they are scum. If they are real, they are still scum!

Caller Type: Telemarketer Trainee

Answered the phone asked to pess 1 for yes 2 for no about a second and final phone call. Being it was final and not knowing what about I pressed 1

They then asked for make and model of vehicle I asked why they said I owned a vehicle after 1990 and were extending the warrenty.I also needed to confirm the vehicle or vehicles I owned
I was then asked for my Name I asked why to confirm the file saddly I gave it away then asked for last name to confirm they had the right person for the file so I did

I was then asked to hold while being transfered, upon being transfered I noticed and started paying attention to the noise in the background it seemed sorta like a multi desk office. I was asked what milage it had.

I then suspected something was up, who in the world ever knows their milage ? So I asked them how they got my number they told me the canadian government released it. I wasn't convinced. So I asked for the company name stating that nothing was named yet. They Replies Canadian Auto Warrenty Services. Seemed too good to be true. I remembered I had seen the phone number before answering the call. I began noticing someone was leading the convo the agent was actually like an echo it was no longer a multi desk it was clearly a tv and 2 people. So I asked her why she was being told what to say she said she was being trained. I knew it wasn't training I have never heard anyone get trained that way. I began to think the call has to be long enough so that it can be traced. So I asked her to explain why I would have to go down 25 floors to a parking lot while I was disabled she replied because if I didn't they would under quote me and I'd be mad I said be mad ? I am mad I am not interested and waited for her to hang up to make sure the call wouldn't continue after I would hang up but she would she kept insisting I was interest or I'd hang up finally I had enough I said I'll fix that and hung up. Imediatly after calling the rcmp
