Okay, a little googling of that number brought me this info from a poster at Yelp.com re: Broadwing Communications, 5655 Carpenter Rd, Ypsilanti, MI 48197:
<i>If you've ever wanted undeserved harassment, then this is the company for you. Broadwing Communications is a call center that caters to scams. Often, its representatives pose as a collection agency and call about "a serious matter at our office" even if you've never owed anything to anybody. If they call, be sure to ignore them and if they tie up your phone line be sure to complain to the FCC, or better yet, threaten them with a lawsuit! There's lots of fun you can have with this company.</i>
So that's one mystery solved! We get fake-called from a number of fake collection agencies that accuse their victims of owing money, then gather up all the critical info they can when said angry, flustered and unwary victims protest and try to prove they do not owe money.
I hate being first! That means this might be a legit number for someone trying to contact me. But if they were legit, their caller-ID shouldn't be "unknown" and they should have left a message, and this unknown caller didn't leave a message. So in the vernacular of my dear old dad, "Screw 'em!"
