Same thing happened to me. Very few people have my cell number, less than 5 and when it rang it was a lady, automated message about lower credit card debts, and I have no credit cards. It is a scam calling numbers randomly. This should be against the law!!! oh yea, the number comes up as 636-614-2902 but if you try to call it back, it states "number has been changed or disconnected"
yeah i got a call from this number while i was at school at the exact same time! i didnt answer and tried to call back but it didnt work. :/ im scared...
Received a call Monday morning, Dec. 07, 2009. They called my cell phone, I've never placed my number on the internet or given it to any company, so my cell phone company has sold their list with my number is the only way. Since I never setup the voice mail they can't leave me a message, saves me minutes that way.
In the past week I've gotten four calls from numbers I don't recognize & those are the numbers I don't answer.
Unless someone in my family or one of my friends gave out my number, in any case I need to find out how they got my number, then give someone a solid foot to [***] speech.
Odds are the scammers are just randomly dialing numbers. They don't need a list of real phone numbers when a computer can just sequence through area codes and numbers very quickly. There are only so many combinations of 7 digits, so it's a matter of time before they can theoretically call anyone. If they call 281-775-1234 and get a fax machine or a disconnected or out of service number, they just move on to 281-775-1235.
