[Talies R]

I received a call from this number yesterday, when I called back its not in service.

The strangest thing is a buddy at work got the same call today.

Anyone else getting calls from this number? :dunno:

They Just called Me !!! haha

[whiskas]

They just called me too!

I don't pick up unknown numbers unless they're 403 area codes. And if it's important they can leave a voicemail.

Caller ID can be spoofed:

I always press 1 and scream into the phone. They never pick up when I press 1 anymore :cry:

They hung up on me after I pretended to not speak english :( And they only asked for my credit card number 14 times....

That's not very good customer service, or persistence...
