I admit, I was suspicious when 508-000-0000 came up on the Caller ID just saying MASSACHUSETTS, as I've gotten plenty of spam & scam calls recently.
However, this # represents the Nielsen Homescan® Consumer Panel (www.homescan.com), something I did sign up for.
The 1st time they called they didn't leave a msg so I thought they were a telemarketer. But today they started to leave a msg w/ my name & pnl ID# so I answered.
Be careful if you've signed up for any survey pnls...often they will try to get you to join others, and perhaps that is how Nielsen got your #.
Well, seems the (508) 000-0000 phantom number is back in play! At 4:55pm, June 22, 2013 I received that number with "MASSACHUSE CALL". Wtitten above it. Did not answer, and no message was left, and this came in on my HOME TELEPHONE 'UNLISTED' for over 3 yrs now! I have a restraining order on an ex...so the bill is not in my real name !
