This number is being used in scam attempts to phish for private information. When I answered the call, the woman on the line claimed to be working for an organization that handles legal mailings for various other organizations. When I asked for more information, she redirected me to an 888 number to call for details. When I called that number, they claimed to be holding legal documents for me from some unknown organization, but they couldn't disclose who the documents were from or what they were about until they verified my identity and received my permission to deliver them. When I refused to provide my social security information and stated that I did not want any mail that they had to ask my permission to deliver (seriously, what legal organization would need that? wtf), they hung up on me.
Please do not fall for this scam, and report it to the FTC.
