I got a call from a 1-888 number today on my cell at about 6pm. I don't pick up strange numbers, so I don't know who it was... but I got to thinking afterwards that it might have been my ex-roommate calling from her work, since her work is a 1-888 number. I wanted to do a reverse lookup on the number, but can't seem to find a site that will allow it. Canada 411, white pages and yellow pages have yeilded no results. Does anyone have any suggestions/other sites I could try?
 
Since its a 888 number.. just call it!
 
thanks, I'll try that. Got a call from the number again, at roughly the same time. I was tempted to just pick up. I will if they call again.
 
I would just ignore it. I get these calls once in a while from telemarketers and scam artists.

P.S. thanks for shaving tip Serenity. James and the Twins thank you as well. ;)
 
Could be Rogers, they caklled me last night trying to sign up for another 3 years.I told them that if I wanted to resign I would have called them and asked them to take me off their call list.Scam artists.:eek:

That's the link, on Canada411. It's in tiny text under where you would enter the name you are looking for.

Still no result for it. As I said, I had already tried it. Thank you for the suggestion though hun.

GtG; Couldn't be Rogers, I'm with Bell, and I already know their number.

6T9; I would normally agree with you. But getting the call at the same time three days in a row now? Odd for scammers/telemarketers. And no problem hun *wink* always happy to help a guy be more appreciated when he sees a girl.

If it was at the same time 3 days in a row, it's an automated system calling you. Could be telemarketers, could be your bank, it could be Future Shop calling saying there's a problem with your order.

These systems call numbers assigned to them for whatever reason based on who they are, and once someone actually answers, the call is then routed to a live operator. Answer it, what have you got to lose? You can always hang up on them.
