Re: scammer calls
It is likely nothing Fibernetics can do about it. The scammer can spoof any phone number. Fibernetics can only police it's own network, it has no control over others.

Re: scammer calls
The fact is, in 10 years of using the freephoneline, this was the first time I had a scammer call

Re: scammer calls
As bridonca mentioned, Freephoneline has nothing to do with you receiving spam calls.
If you use this guide fully, you'll learn how to use your OBi202 to block or route known telemarketer calls elsewhere: http://forum.fongo.com/download/file.php?id=2065.
However, it's unlikely 5878874869 is the real phone number. People are able to fake or spoof whatever outgoing phone number they want.
If it is the real number, since it's a Fibernetics number, you can report it here: https://www.fibernetics.ca/legal/nuisance-calls/
