Yes - I got a call from this number. My caller ID said "wireless caller" but I picked up and it was the same automated message talking about statistics from the fire department, and then asks if I needed some security service, or would be willing to put a sign in my yard. I have received these calls (from different phone numbers, but with the same automated message) to my home landline, now over 15x in the last 3 weeks; and I am already on a do not call list which was renewed in January 2012.
There is an option to press 1 to hear more, or to press 2 to be removed from this list. The first 14 calls, I pressed 2. After not being removed, and receiving this call just 15 mins ago, I decided to press 1. I got another very brief automated message and then "Mike" came on the line. Here is how the conversation went:
Mike: Hi, thanks for showing interest in our services.
CC1: Hi! can you tell me who I am speaking with?
Mike: I am Mike.
CC1: Hi Mike! What company is calling me today?
Mike: I am with "Security Promotions".
CC1: Thanks for that, and where are is your company based?
Mike: North Carolina,
CC1: Ok, where in NC?
Mike: Charlotte, but we operate all over the nation.
CC1: Do you have a website url I can check out and a phone number I can call back on in case we are disconnected?
Mike: No, I don't. Anything you need, I can share with you.
CC1: Really? A nation-wide company doesn't have a website for consumers to take a look at?
Mike: Hangs up.
I was chipper and friendly the whole time, as my aim was to find out who has been repeatedly calling and harassing my elderly parents in their home, and to make a formal complaint. I called the operator to see how to make a formal complaint on this "company".

My wife received a call from this number this morning. There was silence on the other line for a few seconds and there was the sound of rapid breathing and someone said, "help!" very faintly and then hung up.
My wife was quite disturbed by the call, when she tried to call it back it was not a valid phone number.
We reported it to our 911 service to have them follow up if possible. The caller ID said "charleston, wv."

I just receive a call from this number on my cell. It was muffled machine sound, which I couldn't understand, and it didn't respond to hello, so I just hanged up.
