This appears to be a semi-local number used by ARS Nation Collections in order to make the phone ID appear to be accepting a "local" number.
Basically, it's yet another form of "lying" by [***] collection agencies to get around the letter of FTC law. this number is a "piggy-back" provided by "Smart City" Communications [should be called "Village Idiot" Communications.
I got some 13 year old sounding woman on the answering machine calling herself "Heidi" [yeah, uh huh...] who "had important information on file that she needed help with" and that she "was simply looking for information regarding the file that has come across her desk"... She then gave the ubiquitous 1800 number [incidentally- linked to ARS through this and other invaluable sites!] and a bogus reference number [people, think- it's used only to get you to call- she'll ask for a name, number, address and tele- and since YOU called, you'll feel obligated to do so... One four letter word for that... TRAP!] don't bother calling back.
People- aka "Collections Pukes- you need to get better/newer dunning books/notes- I can read through you saps like onion skin over a newspaper.
I do not know who these people are or where they got my number, but I am not late on anything. I do not owe MasterCard and when I have tried to call these people back, you can't. It is busy and will not go through.

I have had a few missed calls from this #. They do not leave a message and I don't answer. I owe a lot of companies and it is a similar story with all of them. Some local area code numbers and usually they don't leave a message.
I get calls from these people all the time. Usually though they have a lot of spoofed numbers, and all use "WKISSIMMEE FL" for the CID, at least I get that on my Via Talk line.
So, I just blocked all those with that CID since normal people have names or others non generic stuff.
Number 407-966-4482 came in under caller ID, Kissimmee, FL - there was a message on our answer machine from Babette (?) speaking extremely fast stating that this call was for (unknown person) and that he was to call ARS National Services at 800-232-1258 x 01054 - or something like that. Obviously, file 13 got the message ... get it??? Don't call!
