705-727-9951

Have received 3 calls on my cell phone, a number I don't commonly give out, but missed it each time. Tried calling back and the number still isn't in service. How does a call come from an inactive exchange? Hmmm.

I suspect it is realated to the "Teleperformance" issues that have been arising lately. I received 2 calls today from this "out of service" number on my unlisted cellphone.  Most have come in from 416-922-8653 or 416-922-2315.  To unsubscribe to this insane call list go to http://www.teleperformance.com/WorkArea/linki ... rm&ItemID=29798
and type in your phone number.

This # was on my phone and when I tried to call it back it said it was out of service.  Just want to know what it was about and who it was from.

I got a call yesterday form this number.
Fraud scam, not sure of the origin but definitely a scam.
Had placed an ad online for some articles.  They call and want to forward money to you, you then forward some money. Then the original cheque/bankers draft bounces and you are out the $$.
Called back and as above out of service

I've received a call from this number too. They just hang and don't say anything.

they call and don't leave a message at least once a week

This number has shown up on my home phone 6 times in the last 2 days. When I try to return the call I get a message that says the number is not in service. How is this possible?

UGHHHH!  this drives me crazy nobody there when I answer and they must call 4 times a day from this number or 705-725-8710.  John thanks for the link to remove my number I hope it works.

705-727-9951, received a call from this number, they keep hanging up, who is this telemarketer

I received a call but when I call back no answer. who is calling??????

I constantly receive calls from that number. I received another one this morning. When I answer, no one speaks. When I call the number back, it says it is out of service. Very annoying. Has anyone reported this to Bell?

I have gotten no less than 6 calls a week from this number for the past two months.  Cell, home and work numbers are all being harassed.

This hang up call is most likely a computer probe call to find out if your number is legit.  Once the computer confirms that your number is a live one, by you picking up the phone and connecting the call (you don't even need to say anything), it is put on a list and sold to telemarketers everywhere.

That internet website where you type your number in to unsubscribe is another way they can verify that your number is legit.  They aren't going to unsubscribe you.

The best way to combat telemarketers, besides signing up to the National Do Not Call list, is to not answer any unknown phone number calling you.  Eventually either the computer will think your number is dead and stop, and/or the live telemarketer will stop calling.  They less you answer, the less they call.  This has the added positive effects of wasting their time and paying someone for nothing.

If the unknown number calling is legit, they can leave a message.

You can see from these comments here how little people know how it works and how easy it is to find live phone numbers to harass.

One last thing.  As more people sign up to the Do Not Call Registry, telemarketers will be left with a shrinking pool of numbers to phone, which means more selling number lists to try to make money, and more calls to you.

There is also increased political calling as we approach an election and political phone calls are exempt from the Do Not Call list.

Remember, don't answer that phone, no matter how much you want to, or be prepared to be harassed.

I keep getting a call from this number but when I call back it says it is not longer in service, how can this number not be in service if it is calling me.

I would assume this is a virtual number (VOIP?) we just got a call and the guy said sorry I must have the wrong number.

is it a skype number??

called and when called back no service

I get calls from this number but I'm never home and there are no messages left.

Gang, you have to listen (or read in this case! hehehe) what Uth said on September 26th of last year!!  For goodness sake, just stop answering the call.  He/She is correct.  This IS a computer calling to confirm live numbers and every time you answer it or call it back you are giving your number over to shady telemarketing companies who want to harass you.  Welcome to the age of technology!

Now, on the Do Not Call List - DON"T USE IT!!  This list is being sold by our government to any telemarketing company who's willing to pay for it.  Canadian law can only regulate Canadian businesses.  It is companies with call centres NOT located in Canada that are calling and harassing you now.  Any person can easily pretend to be a telemarketer and purchase the DNC list right off the website and download it!  It's ridiculous.  

The list is sold so that telemarketers within Canada can use the list for the purpose it was designed for. However, typical Canada (and I love my country with every fibre of my being) are too naive to realize that there are creeps out there who will find a way around it.  Unfortunately, the government did not put any barriers on the site where the list can be purchased to stop the list from getting into the "wrong" hands.

After watching an expose news piece about this (it was either 5th Estate or that new Global show on Saturday), I went online to see if it was true.  Well, I bought the list and I'm a nobody - I don't even own a company.  

We all just handed over our cell phone, home, fax and every other number to these creeps.  Silly us!

I have received 2 calls in the last couple days from this number, tey will not leavae a message or even say who is calling, they make it sound like they know me. When I call it back the number is out of service,
