When this number called the caller ID display preceded it with a "14." I suspected that it might be a country code. I looked up country codes on Wikipedia and a couple other sites and it makes no sense. Most are three digits. The 207 area code is the US state of Maine. As a ten digit phone number is the norm a twelve is suspicious particularly when there are no spaces. Also, 75% of the calls to my number are scams, telemarketers or bill collectors. There are six people living here and most of them are deadbeats in one form or another. We all use this phone number as default number any time a phone number is asked on a form or elsewhere. It's more or less bait for the aforementioned undesirable cold calls. Ergo, there is a 75% chance that the number in question is a scam, telemarketer or bill collector.
