You know, a long time ago we bought one of those "telezappers". You can still get them on EBay. I got a call from that number but when I answered no one was there. So, thanks to the telezapper, their computer interpreted it as a fax machine. Now I won't hear from them again. I've been so impressed with the Telezapper that I bought one for our summer home!
Yeah, it was in my area code also. I believe they are in Des Moines, WA, but that's as far as I could get. I've been reporting them to the "Do Not Call Registry" every day, but they haven't stopped yet.
I know you can assign any name you want for your cell phone number. So perhaps he/she has a phone system, or certain kind of phone to assign the words Out Of Area where they are suppost to put their name. Or that person has a different local service provider than you do.
Here we go again! They just called a few minutes ago...
Like you, I have 'em shown as being in Des Moines, WA - but no usable info.
I usually wait until the third call to file a DNC complaint, unless I am SURE they're not some sort of 'charity' or a political survey outfit, both of which are exempt by the Fed's rules (with which I disagree, but that's another story!).
