> I tried calling back and the number was disconnected. Kinda freaky.
Better for the scammer to cite a "not-in-service" number than to (accidentally) "hijack" an in-service number belonging to some innocent person who is *NOT* in any way affiliated with the scammer.
If you do a "call-back", be polite. Tell the person that some scammer has "hijacked" their number, and that they might be getting more "crank-calls" (early-morning, late-night) from people whom the scammer has called.
This number tries to send a fax to my phone line several times a day for several years now... when I try to fax it - I get a message saying the call cannot be completed. I cannot find out who has this number by reverse listing either....
I got a call from this number and they said it was Microsoft. The ususal type in the command scam that let's them access my computer. I told him it was a scam and I asked him not to call me anymore.
