I answered this call at 6pm today and it was a girl from some charity (didn't catch which one) asking for a $365 donation to feed hungry children. When I said I wasn't interested she became extremely rude and I hung up. dialed *69, got the number 604-895-0009. I tried to call it back and got a steady beeping sound???????????????

this is a collection company called NCO financial they call me 6-10 times a day they finally left a message today with a number to call back at 1-888-882-9241 they have been harassing me at all hours of the day and night and for what you ask????? a $15.23 bill from fed ex I didnt even know I owed they are very rude and ruthless!!!
| e 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
They are not a collection agency! Look at other sites on Google to read about the assortment of comments on this number. Whoever is using this number is using a wide variety of (often aggressive) tactics to fish for any kind of personal identifying information. They seem to resort to all kinds of tactics to grab people's attention and information. I think it's for identity theft purposes. We have receive calls from this number for a few years. The other day I receive a call from them on my cell phone.

Started again once so far since January 1st, 2008
| SOME GUY 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
got 4 calls from this number yesterday
| John A 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
In response to The Continental's no doubt well-meant comment, there's a problem with doing that. Often these sorts of calls are from an automated program that is working through a list, or just dialing sequentially. Its purpose is to find valid working phone numbers. When it finds one the number is noted. Then either the same agency calls later to try and sell you something, or the list of "good" numbers is sold to other companies so they can scam you. The last thing you want to let them know is that they have a working number.
Sometimes they call every hour of the day. When you answer they make note of the time. They now know what time of day you are likely to be home, so someone can call then and try and sell you crap, or scam you.
The best thing is to never answer a call you don't know. Unfortunately your answering machine or voice mail can give you away.

got a call today. let it go to voicemail. No message, just a beep beep beep in the background like a fax trying to connect
| Annoyed 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
Same number, did some research:
Dead Air Calls
"The phone is ringing but no one is there when I answer".
Your phone may have a technical problem but you may also be receiving calls from an automatic dialer that logs the time the phone is answered. A telemarketer uses the information to indicate when a person will be at your number to answer the phone.

604 895 0009, was a number from a person who claims to be Andreas Makiewicz. They have been calling me and i have been in contact with them because i answered an ad for renting a house in the internet. At first he was calling with an UNKNOWN ID then he instructed me together with his claimed wife by the name MARIA MAKIEWICZ to send money to get the key to the house which i did and now they said they need more money before i could get the key. I believe they are fraud and very much greedy for money. Im somehow sorry for myself for falling into their trap but in the lighter side at least i could tell others about this number so that they would not fall into the same fate i had with these people.

Glad that I found this website, as I had just sent a response to same ad for house on 33rd Ave, Vancouver, BC. Very sketchy response from "Maria".

Also, will post on Craigslist, where I found the original ad, a warning to others. Thank you, Joy.

An addendum to my above posting for others to heed just in case.
Here is how the ad reads as from the posting on Craigslist in Vancouver BC. I have flagged the posting as spam and suppose that it will be removed soon enough, but I suspect it'll pop up again somewhere as scammers tend to be rather tenacious...

This number appears on our call display whenever anyone from the US calls us. It seems that Telus caller i.d. isn't capable of letting us know what the actual number is....so it displays this one.

That is exactly what it is..a port number of somesort.

this annoying numbers calling again and again. somebody there to stop this number.
| JO 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
Called me at 9am PST. " this is a telemarketing call from HSBC Court Services, sorry we are unable to speak to you, please call us at..."
Obviously a SCAM, if they are legit they would be on the other end. Googled the company name, nothing. Called 604-895-0009 got dialtone.
When reading other responses it seems they must be porting their number frequently to hide thier true identity. Scammers! We need to stop this. The government has done nothing but invite the criminal element and offer lists of victims with the Do Not Call List, what a joke!
| JO 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
This is a great service/tool to use to prevent others from falling victim to these Scammers. Everybody keep up the good work and post as much information as possible. This is the way we can protect each other.
PS: Dont believe what they tell you, a surveyor, political party, charity... if they ask for any personal info they are really Scammers in the background. Those entities are exempt from DNC list so the Scammers use to hide their true identity.
| Toasttererr 2011-06-06 20:52:20 Unknown |
ITS A LONG DISTANCE PHONE CALL! WHEN YOU ARE CALLED FROM THIS NUMBER ITS A REDIRECTED PHONE CALL SO IT DOESNT COST YOU MONEY! FIGURE IT OUT!
