417-732-4864 called Oct 6 just after 8 AM, no message, caller ID said Jamey Parks.
516-990-9988 (spoofed number) called later just before 4:30 PM, no message. Creeps.
I never answer an unknown caller...
I did not recognize the phone number 516-990-9988 so I did not answer. I have received about 7 calls from this number in the last 3 days on my cell phone. I am tempted to answer just to give these a-holes a bit of payback. What mutants.
I keep getting calls from this # 516-990-9988, I answer and they Hang-up.
If I redial, I get the message, "They are out of Service".
So how the Hell am I getting calls from a Number that's Out of Service.
I wish the Phone Company would straighten this Nonsense out.
It's a spoofed number. The caller is calling from another number and they spoof, via technical means, a different number that appears on caller id. A very common technique to disguise the number of the true caller.
I also received a call from this number from someone claiming to be from the Microsoft Service Department. It's an attempt to convince you to give a criminal control of your computer so the criminal can steal information, or hold control for ransom. The caller will claim that he / she can confirm that they have identified a problem for your computer and will provide you with your unique 'license number'. The number is actually a software identifier that is the same for all Windows computers. It is not in any way identify a specific computer. When I get these calls, if I have nothing better to do, I like to string them along. After a bit they will give up, or I will get bored and just hang up.
