123-456-7890

I got two calls yesterday from (123) 456-7890--one at home and one on my work cell, which made me think I might actually know the person. I didn't answer and there was no message at either place. Looks like it was a fluke that they hit me on both phones (?)

I had a similar call and found out that it was a call from my daughter using the Internet phone service Skype. She was in Europe and calling from a computer with Skype. So if you have any friends using Internet type calling, sometimes known as VOIP, that's probably why it seemed like they knew you. Hope that helps.

got a call , no answer on the other end ? wondered what kind of of number this is ?

Hi,
Hundreds of people have received calls from this number across North American. '123' is NOT a real area code, these calls are conducted through VOIP. The people on the other end either:
- Leave threatening messages (They know your name and threaten to kill your family)
- Try to scam you out of your money.
- Scream at you in another language (they usually have accents).
- Ask for the man of the house and then hang up.
- Complete silence.

Many people have been spooked by these numbers. Do NOT pick up the phone when they call, if you do they know someone lives there and they will keep calling. If you do pick up, press the '#' sign a bunch of times, I was told this would screw up their call. Or you could blow a whistle and hurt their ears enough so they won't call back .
Call your phone provider and let them know what is going on (talk to tech support) and order the feature that allows you to block numbers.

I got a call from this number today when i was away and i live in canada!

I got a call from this number yesterday at 9:30 am but wasn't home to pick up. Seems this is quite common. I also live in Canada (Ontario). I've been advised not to answer.
I've also been recieving lots of "unknown caller" caller IDs lately. Not sure if it's related...

This number has shown up on my caller ID so many times. It's odd because I'm never home when they do call, or I just don't hear the phone ring. I like the whistle idea and the block call feature idea. I'm implimenting both, which ever comes first!

Always call in the evening, or late at night...

Every day I get a call from 123-456-7890.... we never answer. I am also in Ontario Canada. No one ever leaves a message on my call answer from this number. I think that next time they call I will answer and press # a few times- maybe this will stop them from calling again.

The past 2 days this number has called me, I never pick up 1800 or 1866 numbers cause its usualy a telemarketer so when I seen this number I was like what the hell that's not a real number, they calledd again 5 minites ago and I decided to google it and found this.

1234567890 showed on call display.  It turned out it was Primus Canada.  I think it is something to do with long distance.  I really couldn't make out what the lady was saying because of her thick accent.  I lied about not being the owner of the phone... I hope I don't burn in hell but I really didn't want to listen to her go on about Primus either... not sure what would be worse.

Also from Ontario Canada, have been getting at least one call a day for a week now.  Have recently changed our phone # and was hoping to avoid pesky calls for awhile, but they found us anyway.  No message on answering machine which is on 24/7.  I'd really like to answer and scream at them - but I'm sure these people have no souls anyway.

Been getting calls from this number a few times. Today, they called again claiming they're from Primus Canada asking about long distance calls. Since it sounded strange to me, I told them we're not interested and hung up.

Call this number back and ask to be taken off list. Do not give other info just phone number.  It takes a few requests to eventually get number reomoved.

Success 2U

They calledabout 5 times through out days, today at 9pm saying there Telusl, before Rogers and Bell Canada. Telus is not even a home phone in ottawa but in toronto. so this gave it away.Always takes them 5 secs to answer aswell.

I just got a call from 1-123-456-7890 today.  It was also a lady claiming to be calling about Primus and had a thick accent as well.  I thought it sounded fishy and just hung up on her.

So I'm sitting here at my computer doing some homework and my phone rings.  Considering the time, I just assumed it was my girlfriend calling from work to see how my day was (I'm at University 0700 - 1700 and she works 1600 - 2300).  Anyways, it turns out it is NOT my girlfriend, but strange lady with a very thick accent claiming to be from Primus.  She knew my first and last name and claimed to know what company I was using and what prices I was paying.  Not really knowing off-hand what I am paying, I sort of agreed but didn't really care.  She asked me how often I call long distance, I said "Never" and she said, "Good, you'll be happy to know that our long distance prices are the lowest!"  ....  Okay, something fishy is going on.  She knows my name, claims to know my telephone company and bills, and then doesn't even listen to what I say.  She asks me if my phone number is 516 yadda-yadda-yadda, but it's not, it's 519.  She then goes, "And your address is Medicine Hat, Alberta..."  I live in Calgary and was born (and bred) in British Columbia.  She then said, "Oh you moved, well thats good can I please get your current address?"  By now I knew something was going on and said, "I don't know what my address is offhand" she says, "Oh that is going to be a problem" and hangs up.  Scam?  I'd like to think so.

Even in High River, Alberta... every day of our life.

We should ask their email ... and flood their mailbox with tons of 123456789 messages...

I have been getting calls from this number for about a week but they seem to call when I am out and don't leave a message.  Thanks a lot for the tips.  If I see it come up I will not answer.  But how do we get rid of them?????
