A lot of Canadians, including my cousin, are getting phone calls from this
Las Vegas phone number: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/7024663253

It is a scam of some sort. Anybody have any ideas of where it is coming
from?

With a 702 area code then it is Nevada. I called the number on my cellphone
and a voice says..."this party is not accepting calls right now. Call back
later" and then it is repeated in what sounded like Spanish.
if you or your cousin get another call, just answer "RCMP" and they should
hang up.

One would think you'd be used to that sorta thing by now.

Damn, return the call already. Can't you see you're on barrowed time?
