I've read the above posts, and I'm sorry to say . . . "They're back." Got a call from this number at 10:43 EST. Didn't pick up. No message. Now. Blocked.
Just got a call at 10pm. Hung up before i could answer. Tried calling them back to let them know they are not allowed to call after 9pm and a recording said this number is no longer in service. How can that be when they just called be from that number.
The number that shows up on your caller ID is not neccessarily the number that calls you.
Scammers and telemarketers set it up that way quite often, but you may also see it when you get a call from a large business, university, or medical office.
Your caller ID may only show the switchboard number, not the individual number that called you.
In this case, sounds like the "hide their identity" that shady characters use.
