Collection Agency, using VOIP numbers to show they are from other states. They might not be licensed to do collections in your state, so they call in using a VOIP number from another state. Not that it will work for them, but hoping to fool you.

I got a few calls from 1-409-822-6712 on my office phone.
First time I picked up the phone and told the person it is bad time to talk to me. He called again after a few hours. I did not pick-up the call. The caller left a voice mail.
The voice mail was left by some business organization (I could not catch their name). The caller identfied his name as Alex Well (so I think) and his company name. The voice mail message tried to sell me a local business listing which would apprear on the top of a google search page. He left a call back number 1-877-490-5185.
I did not call back. The person called again. I saw the caller id and before I do anything he hung-up and momentarily called again. This time his caller ID showed as "Unknown Caller". I picked up the call and spoke to him. I told the caller that I do not sell anything on the internet and not to call me again. It is waste of his time. I just hope he wont call again.
This just a computer generated number that means nothing.
It means they are calling from an "Internet Phone".
The system just creates a number that does not ever reflect where the call is coming from.
