I, too, am from TN. Got this 212-000-0005 call today. I did not answer because the number was so odd. I. Get so tired of DoNotCall being of no noticeable use.
My mom received a call from this number on 11/22/2012 at 1:02. I don't live in the same state as my mom so I monitor her phone calls. The call lasted for over 3 minutes but my mom doesn't remember what was said. It's hard to block all the calls that come in. If anyone has a suggestion besides don't answer the phone please let me know.
Concerned Daughter, Please get your Mother an answering machine and/or Caller ID and suggest to her not to answer the telephone if she does not know the caller, Especially the 8xx series numbers.
Note: To those that report unsolicited telephone calls.
Reporting them to the FCC, The Do Not Call Registry and the Telephone company does no good. I have done it in the past and was informed by all three that they could not do anything about it unless it was a threat. I guess attempting to steal a person's ID is not condisered a threat. The telephone companies are not going to do anything about it, They're making too much money selling the numbers and/or the telephones.
Recieved this call twice and i will never answer it. Probably contains a virus anyway. I live in Tn. Have caller ID and if I don`t reckonize it I will not answer the call.
