for those of you receiving calls from 1-207-493-2600, complain to the Federal Trade Commission. I report many of these telemarketers to them..someday they will be slapped with a large fine..maybe then they will stop calling to annoy us??

I have been getting calls from 207-493-26xx (207-493-2600, 207-493-2614, 207-493-2615, 207-493-2603, 207-493-2626) for the past few months and have ignored them. They are calling my Google voice number, which I use for questionable things, so I knew not to answer it.
I finally answered one of the calls and it was an auto recording of a fake operator lady that forwarded me to another auto recording saying I would win a free cruise if I answer a questionnaire. Press 1 to answer the questions (I waited without pressing 1 to see what would happen) and it eventually just hung up on me.
I rarely give this number out, but it ironically started happening right after I signed up for a box.net trial. box.net requires a phone number for creating an account... really who does that. I was reluctant so I gave them my google voice number. I am not saying that it is box.net, but it is odd that it started after I did this.
If you have also signed up for box.net and are receiving odd phone spam please post this in your notes!
Call came in on my mobile phone, a number I NEVER give out except to family and close friends. I ignored the call and immediately did a search of the phone number. Glad I did not answer. Will have to wait and see if they call back.
