Confusion Reigns in Wake of 1-866 Number for Income Assistance Recipients in Surrey

Currently I am documenting my encounter with my welfare office.

If I screwed up like that, and was a business then I'd get sued.

If the government fucks up, then I have to gaman (bear with it).

Boy, are they lucky I'm Japanese-Canadian cos my Anglo buddies in the line at the local office would cuss up a storm.

Since I have been using the 1-866 number, I am getting fucked over by the confusion caused by not noticing I am in North Delta, not Vancouver!!!!!!!

Why are the Pakistani Scammers Calling Me?

On Feb 12th and 14th , I received a call from Pakistan. So I googled the numbers and also "Pakistan call", and discovered that it's a scam operating out of Pakistan.

FYI "92" is Pakistan area code.

Luckily I know no Pakistani or Urdu.

I figured something was up when the last time they called, they called at 7AM!

My guess is, the previous owner of my phone number was South Asian.

Followup: on Feb. 14 I received another wrong number at 10:07 PM. Dunno how my phone number has gotten onto someone else's mail list.
