I think this is a scam. This number (317-472-8016) has called my home and cell several times lately at different times of the day. When I answer the phone there is never anyone at the other end. I get the feeling that they are trying to figure out when I am home, and when I'm not. When I called the number back I got an answering matching saying that I had reached the Childhood Leukemia Foundation, I would have expected to get some kind of automated phone dialer, so I'm thinking that it is someone spoofing the caller ID of the Leukemia Foundation.
I receive calls constantly from this number claiming to be Barabra from Childhood Luekemia Foundation. I blocked their calls with my provider, it only lasts 90 days. on the 91st day the calls began again - every day and at all hours. Never a person just an automated call I am so frustrated and want them to stop forever.
The problem is that these are really "robo-calls".
Their phone system calls the numbers and when a phone is ANSWERED, then it switches to the first available live person.
Sometimes, there's a delay before the "person" picks up.
Which is also why you sometimes hear conversations or laughter.
They somehow indicate that their line is "available", and are talking to co-workers when the computer hands a call off to them.
So, THEY didn't actually dial the number.
and the computers can dial LOTS of numbers, over and over and really don't care what time of day it is!
Just saw this number and the name on caller id,pissed me OFF,as our son has just been diagnosed with a brain tumor,so I thought it may have been an important call....so not right- and we are on the do not call reg....
