Brian & I are getting annoying phone calls from same person but different phone #'s 1st one stating that I'd hit his car and left a note on w/shield. then it was "my daughter had kicked his dog & Vet bills staggering, Pizza delivery can't find my house, returning call that I'd found his cat. I've figured out these are computer generated calls as they don't answer any questions, just a pause then start talking again. I blasted a "air horn" no effect at the end of one call he stated " you've been had by ? .com [ can't make out the name] Both our Ph # are on ad in Kijiji for his Cutlass. Calls coming from Gormely, Fort Erie. Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa,, and the 613 code I'm just hanging up now as soon as I hear the VOICE but concerned that some how they are tapping Ph #'s to make these calls from different #'s in a short time?????

It sounds like phone calls from a phone prank website. How they work is you pay a small fee (some sites allow 2-3 free calls) and choose the "topic" and the website will make the calls. There's one in Quebec called Kawab.com
I don't have anything listed on Kijiji but lately we have been getting a spate of those stupid calls. The numbers are very close to ours (or not), but in any case they are completely bogus. I think they are actually Internet phone in origin, and they can display whatever # they feel like. The cops are currently investigating on our behalf Criminal Harassment charges as they relate to calls and e-mail we are receiving. Wifey had to restore her I-phone back to factory settings as she found some rogue stuff on it that even Apple couldn't delete.
The latest call said that my credit limit is going to be reduced if I don't call my bank. Really? What is my name? What bank? What credit card? Air horns sound like a plan, but some of these scams are pre-recorded; who knows if anyone is listening or not.
Total losers with no life, no scruples, and delusions that they will never be caught. String 'em up!
Next time I place a Kijiji ad I am going to include a temporary e-mail account to contact me through.

I dont put my number in online ads. Email only and have a secondary email address for that purpose. If someone is interested they can send a number for me to call
I do not want to jinx myself but i have never had any issues at all. I have a very large number of ads in Kijiji and my number is on all of them. I have been doing the Kijjiji selling thing for a number of years. You guys now have me thinking that i should remove my phone number from all my ads. Thanks for sharing this information.

If you have your phone number in the spot where KIJIJI asks you to enter it its not too bad as a real person has to find it. If you publish it in your description robots can collect it automatically.
I just dont have it as all so i can weed out the potential kijiji pen-pals
Called my server, they are swamped with complaints from this comedy site hacking!!! Said they will fix it??? I edited my ad for brian's car & removed Ph#'s in all places!!! On a good note have at least 5 people in line to view car when it comes out of storage next Monday!!!!
