They called my cell phone. I did not answer, but there was a voice mail. It was an Asian accent who just kept saying hello. How much more corny can you get than to use a Hollywood-type typical 555-1234?
Well, I just checked and the phone number is supposedly Department of Defense, Security Cooperation Agency. There is no telling if someone is using that number just for harassment or not, and why cell phones are targeted is unknown.
Numbers using the (202) prefix have been used for decades to try and scam phone owners out of their money. This prefix is commonly used to spoof our Congressmen and Senators in Washington DC. Don't waste your time trying to track the caller, it's a dead end.
Recieved numerous calls from these numbers today...(201-373-8371)...One with no area code or prefix (9496)...(202-555-1234)...Another with no area code or prefix (9509)...And, (613-226-4730). I called my phone carrier to ask why only 4 digits show up and there are numerous reasons - all for the business of remaining anonymous. I've also learned how E-Mail scam Artists get my E-Address and plague me with every known sceme in the book. The same can apply to phone numbers. Telemarketers and SCAMMERS buy and sell numbers and E-Mails in mass production and can be used in auto-dial-up or E-mailings. There's little you can do except to continue tracing and reporting these incidents to the proper authorities.
