Who’s calling from Canada?

Someone just tried calling me right now, but I didn’t answer. A 604 area code traces to Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada. Who knows me from there? I think my uncle lives in Montreal, so it can’t be him. I don’t see a voicemail message indicator, so I’m kinda burned. I guess if it was important, they would’ve right? Breath, Bryan.

Update: It’s Chase Credit Card. Sorry I didn’t update sooner. I put it in the comments, though.

Wasn’t me. What was the number? I might be able to trace or recognize it.

I occasionally get calls on my cellphone from area codes I’ve never seen before. My response is usually, “Wha’?”

Also, is that a plugin, for the quicktags on comments? I’m digging that.

Should I be posting this? :P

@Josh: Yeah, it’s LMB^Box Comment Quicktags. I posted it a few days ago on the 23rd. Whoa shoot, I even started hand-coding the links until I realized those were up there. Haha!

Someone has been calling me from a 604 area code. 604-495-2468

Any leads appreciated. I don’t even know how they got my number but it’s annoying!!!

I found out who it was: a credit card company. Chase. I answered one time, and didn’t tell them who it was. So, I took a message. I’ll call them back when I’m ready to setup a “program”.

Hey I just got that call too. I googled it wondering where it was from also.

Donna: What’s your blog address? It’s not going anywhere right now. :(

Addressing this to everyone: I’ve already figured who this phone number is - no need to add to the comments. Comments are closed now.

I called this number and I think its Chase Bank…they moved their collections/credit department outside of the USA so that they can take advantage of Canadian law…they don’t do our holidays either. I have no idea how they got my cell phone number too - but they have never left me a message either. I know I am a little behind in paying up on my credit card and I called it listened to the person who answered - and voila - it was a division of Chase.

Can you tell me something about QUICK Tab and how it works.

Also, how does Chase get cell phone numbers?

Thanks

What quick tab? Chase gets your cell phone number if you gave it to them.

I just wanted to say “Thanks” for your blog regarding this phone number. I got the phone call twice today (once @ 6:30am BC time & the other @ 7:40am BC time). Chase gets up alittle early don’t they?
Since you posted this blog, I was able to see immediately who this number (604-495-2468) phone number belonged to.
Thanks again :-)
