Although 800notes.com says this number's a landline in Virginia, the call I answered was from a boilerroom, probably in India or Pakistan, although the male caller, who offered to lower my credit card rates, said he was from Dulles Taxes(this area code applies to the Dulles Airport area of northern VIrginia and the caller id said "Virginia call") . When I asked him to repeat it several times and eventually spell it out, he had problems with vowels but eventually spelled out Dallas, Texas, United States. When told him this number was on the do not call list, he said he couldn't do anything about numbers that came from the computer, then eventually promised to remove this number. Frankly, the guy sounded like last Wednesday's caller whose caller ID said "bp independent" and told me my dad had won a free medical examination because he was really from a doctor's office. And the NY/NJ accented woman from prime time windows below also said she could not remove my name from their call list because it came from the computer.
For what it's worth, my elderly dad was the victim of female scammers several years ago, and the straw buyer (whose wife at least is South Asian) of the bank fraud house next door (which is being demolished today) bragged about knowing the "real story" of that particular fraud on my dad. He and others associated with that house (many born in the USA) also bragged about government corruption, at least at the local level in Illinois, where the recipient line is physically located. Frankly, many of the scam calls also seem associated with a computer telemarketing guru or fraudster named Paul Maduno, about whom I've posted several times recently. But he seems to have teflon, or maybe that's what the government shutdown's really about, letting the fraudsters run wild.....
Other bogus calls dad's received on this landline on the "do not call" list in the previous week or so (the fraudsters take weekends off) include:
206-397-1149 "jade orchard"
212-777-4567 "bp independent"
212-999-9999 "unknown name"
309-530-4779 "wireless call"
309-585-8044 "unknown"
458-201-0437 "seniors kit"
630-446-0737 "illinois call"
847-737-7384 "illinois call" (4x)
847-592-8550 ""caution"
847-621-1360 "prime time win"
847-915-3217 "illinois call"

The person that is calling from this number just cussed me out & it's a good thing you cant reach out and touch someone through a phone, because I would of knocked his teeth out for disrespecting me and telling me F*** You MotherF****.......and for calling me a liar......were is our Homeland Security for people like this.....this call should of never went through!!
Some guy with an Arab Accent I think asked for a name, When I said speak English. The reply was I am Osama Bin Laden. I then told him he was dead, and then went to say the rest of your [***] Terroists will be killed by The US Military. He got very upset lol and then started cursing. I hung up, tried to call back, got an operator message that the number was disconnected.
