now on the other hand, if you call back some of those numbers, be carefull. I've seen people call 1-876 numbers thinking it was toll free, but they are calling jamaica and other carribean countries with 800-Like area codes, but its an actual billable npa/nxx you are dialing.

so yeah best to just ignore the calls, theres millions of phone customers they will try when they get tired of you.
I figured I wasn't getting dinged for this (Bell confirmed) - but it's tough for me to ignore the calls because I have a lot of clients and a few relatives in the states - so I end up answering them ... I don't want to hang up on these folks, after all it's really not their fault ... but damn, after 5 minutes of trying to explain that I in fact did not call their number, that's pretty much what I have to do.
