On Friday, January 18, 2008, at 7:30 pm, after 4 rings, my phone answering machine started to give my "Please leave a message..." routine, when the caller hung up, (without leaving any message). Caller ID showed "Illinois - 217-735-2128." Some other people who have received calls from this phone number suspect that it came from the FOP, and I think that's a strong possibility in my case.
This is what you call phone spoofing which means the person calling can masks its real number by using somebody elses number. And is currently legal,hard to trap with a trace to actual number. We need to contact our congressman and get a bill started to make it illegal.The Lincoln police has issued a statment about it on their web site. And yes I'm on the No Call list.
Call received at 7:58 pm cst. The person really upset by 14 year old daughter. They asked questions like are you parents home? How are you doing? This is the police department. We will call back later.
I will call the Lincoln, IL police department to report this as well as my local PD.
Number on caller id was 217.735.2128 Davenport A. I did a reversal and found the address at 1105 N State St Lincoln IL.
