phone rings, I pick up, I say, hello ? no one answers, I hang up and dial the number back and get a busy signal always

This is actually some local switchboard that re-routes international calls. I get calls from a friend who is in South Africa right now and it shows up on the call display as a local call from 480-9170.
So the number itself is harmless, however, people calling through it might not be.

Hi! This number is used by SKYPE when someone is calling you from a computer on the web for example.

The number was rented out by Bell Canada to a third party. They tell you that you have won something and to press 1. They are just trying to sell you something. The last two times that they called me and I got a human on the other end I gave them a blast from a whistle. Funny, no more calls.

I got a call from this #, they said they were UPS, and that I had outstanding charges from the Canadian Revenue for an international package, they left an 866-836-4875 # to call back. The scary part is the invoice # they used is from an old package that was sent almost a full year ago. I spoke with UPS and they are now aware of the situation.

some sick bastard left a perverted message on my answering machine with my daughter singing on it saying "i bet that little girl would sound a whole lot better with a penis in her mouth. call me back b***h"
i think youd sound a whole lot better with a shotgun in your mouth buddy. this number should be shut down, it sounds like its nothing but trouble.

I found a number from another web site to call that belongs to Bell and they will forward the request not to call to this number - Bell Voice and Data - 204-480-2000

Got a call from 204-480-9170 - they were trying to offer me a lower interest rate on my existing card. In their sales pitch they quoted the wrong prime rate in Canada, and said that they have a business agreement with my bank despite having my old address. With my scam alarm going off, I hung up. Will be reporting this.

Calling about offering a low interest rate on my credit card

Said i won a free promotional gift. I hung up. Nothing is free.

Called without asking for anybody in particular or identifying himself. Then the idiot tried to offer me lower long distance rates. It seems like the only people who call my landline are trying to scam me. I might as well just get rid of the damn thing and use my cell.
| Mandy 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
I get the call from the same #, no voice message left. I try to call back but all I get is a busy signal. It's kind of annoying. Can I block this number?

I call Winnipeg from the states on a Comcast line. In Winnipeg my number doesnt show up. Instead the number 480-9170 shows up on caller ID WITH NO AREA CODE. Someone should stop misuse of this number.

I got a call on my cell phone from this number. No message was left. I did a reverse search to see who it belonged to, but it is unpublished. I tried unsucessfully to call it.

Just got a missed call on this number Right before a collection agency CRS called me ....disreputable and agressive one I refuse to deal with. you put the link together...
| Renate 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
Both my parents and I received a call from 204-480-9170 yesterday evening. No one spoke to me. Just a hollow tinny sound on the phone. I called MTS and they said this number belongs to Group Telecom. I e-mailed them to stop using this number. More annoying to me but others have more serious complaints.

I just got a call from this number. It was a foreign voice with a strong accent. She asked it I had a computer. Then said she was calling from "Windows ____" [couldn't understand the 2nd word] and wanted to let me know they were getting a message from my computer that it was being infected and was going to crash. She continued on, but I couldn't understand what else she was saying, so just said goodbye.
| cecilia 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
I just got the same message and was going to call back as we've had things being shipped to us at different times -- thanks for all these posts and letting us know -
These damn scammers just keep coming up with new things.

I received a call from this number claiming they were from Liberty Financial and they needed our SIN number and birthdate to provide us with a proposal to consolidate our debt - of course they did not know if we had any. They did not know what ccs we had etc. They were offering debt reduction services to consolidate all bills into one low interest payment. You can never trust anyone on the other end of the phone these days. Very disturbing.

I just got a call on my cell and they said they were from a concierge company. (I run a shopping & delivery service) they asked if i their clients could use my services. I asked a couple questions and he couldn't answer them properley so i hung up. They called right back but i didn't answer.
| Ron 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
Got a call from this number yesterday. Very shady. They use a computer to dial and then it rings through to them when you pick up. Very noisy call centre, hard to understand the caller. Said he was from Mortgage Experts or something. Told him not to call back since I was on the do not call list.
| Dean 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
I have received calls from an Manitoba Internet Provider from this # in the past. I think it is a VoIP provider that allows people to call Winnipeg locally no matter where they are located. Therefore you may see this number from multiple businesses, some legit and some a little shady. If you block it you block the good with the bad.
| Betty 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
Just got a call from this number asking if we had a morgage on the property,
East Indian accent and a very hard staicky telephone line Hung up right away and tried to phone back several times line busy
| Weird 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
Just got a call from this #. It showed up with the 204 area code so I thought it might be the doctors office or something. It was a low quality line and I think it was from India, the lady had such a strong accent that I couldn't understand a word she said after my last name.
| Ray 2011-06-06 20:41:59 Unknown |
Yeah i got a call last night from this number telling me i had credit card problems and do i need a lower interest rate, when i started asking him questions about where he was calling from or where he got my number he started nervously laughing and tried to get me off the phone immediatly.
it's a scam
