It's one of a series of numbers from that area code, I believe. From comments of those who mention police or crime stoppers, I believe it's a donation scam. Sometimes they're for veterans, too. Don't pick up. And do block.
Called today, no msg, I blocked it. I'm getting calls every single day now from 516 and 518. Need a good app that blocks whole area codes to zap these pests!
Someone is calling my home from 5166287689 at least 4 times a day. Early in the am and as late as 9 pm. No one responds when we pick up the phone. We want them to stop calling.
