Got call from (417)731-4105 @ 5:15 pm, 10/24/15. Caller-ID said Midnite Sun Pro.
Googled the number - found this page.
Googled "Midnite Sun Pro" (caller-id info) and the search results are the same as for the number.
Surprisingly, they left a message, which started out as follows:
"Hi, this is Clay with the Carpet, tile and furniture cleaning experts..." Then there's a pitch that there are specials for cleaning everything - ducts, tile and grouting, furniture, etc. The message instructs interested parties to call
(702)327-3510.
1st, area code 417 is in the Springfield, West Plaiins, MO area. No company named Midnite Sun in that area (or anywhere as far as I can see).
I live in a completely different area, 300 miles away with a different area code.
The message didn't include the name of a company.
Googling their contact # (702)327-3510 brings you back to 800-Notes, entries described the same message I received, but using a different spoofed number. The posts went back to June of this year, so I guess they started with the 417 area code number recently.
The message sounds pretty professional, actually- except for there being no company.
So I have a question for any phone system experts out there. I understand that the government might find it very expensive to implement a national spoofed number list. But let's say the NSI or CIA or FBI wanted to find out where one
of these numbers are actually calling from. Given enough access to system records and expertise, could they trace the actual number? Where can I read up on this?
Thanks.
