I was gone but this number showed up on my caller ID. When I called it back, it said that this number is not in service.....what I have learned from numbers like this when nobody says anything, is that it is a computer calling your number to find out if you are a legitimate number or not so that a telemarketing service can call you.
Whenever you get a call with nobody else on the other end at all, immediately hit your pound key about 4-5 times and immediately hang up. After a few times, this will confuse that computer into thinking you are another computer and it will remove your number from their system. I have tried this and it does work if its done every time the calls come in.
I was getting calls like this at least 10 times a day, no exaggeration, and I learned this tip and tried it and within 3 days, I never got another one.
I got one today and didn't pick up since no name was listed, and I don't know anyone in California. No message. I tried to return the call as I'm in the job market, but the number isn't a working one. Exactly how can they call me from a number that's not working?
Because it's legal to spoof your number! And no real company (I don't care how big they are.) would ever call you on spoofed number.
