Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

It used to happen to me before I got on do not call.

I have no idea what mechanism in caller ID/number they're calling from that makes this happen.

Whatever you do, don't call back.

With VOIP you can very easily spoof any number. Apparently a very lazy Dutchman called you.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

what happens if i call back?

Turn the phone rightside up--it's Lucifer.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

I know what when I call land lines or cell phones with Skype it always displays random high numbers on people's caller ids. Most likely it was someone using voip.

last time I got a call from this number is was a recording of Mark O' Malley talling me to play ***** at 9 am.

Hopefully this isin't too ***** related but [censored] him.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

Is there any way you can get charged for a call just by answering? I've never had a really weird number call, but if they did I would probably just answer out of curiosity and hang up if it were a telemarketer.

I got this call too and it was blockbuster's automated message system telling me my video was like 20 days late.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

Didn't blockbuster eliminate all late fees? You should have been like shut up bitches what are you going to do charge me?

Curiously,

Perrier

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

Right, they don't have late fees. But they still beg you to return the video so somebody else can rent it. And if you wait long enough there is a $1.50 restocking fee, which is actually a late fee, and they were sued for false advertising because of it, but apparently they won the lawsuit.

i got a call from 000-000-0000 last week and i made a joke to my buddy that maybe it was the fbi or something. turns out it was a telemarketing call.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

I got a call from 0123456789 last week.

Googled it and it's just if the company hasn't set their phones up properly. It was the cowboys that are Dell, FWIW.

Re: Incoming call - 999-999-9999
 

Actually, businesses with a phone system can modify the caller ID strings that get sent so it is not just the VOIP tricks.

I actually had to figure out how to do such a thing on an Avaya system. I could have it spoof any caller ID the user wanted, fun stuff. Never trust caller ID.

Normally it's Party poker (sorry for the poker reference -- but that's what it is for me).
