Same experience as Dave [above], only my call was on 9/15/2009 and once before but I don't remember the date. I saw on another website that an individual called her phone company [Verizon] and it blocked this number. I'm going to call my provider and see if that works.
Exact same thing just happened to me. She said her name was Sarah. She mentioned her last name as well, it started with a P but I do not recall what it was. She refused to give me any details. My wife said she didn't know anybody named Sarah so I hung up on her.
I live in the 704 area code, and do not believe we have a 999 exchange. The Caller ID said Out Of Area.
We've received several calls from the Kidney Foundation since we donate on occasion. Those callers always tell me who they are. This lady was much less polite.
I got a call from this number from a woman today asking for "Mrs. Gilder". I was not trying to be difficult but asked which Mrs Gilder she was looking for. She seemed annoyed so I went on to explain that my wife and I had recently taken my parents old phone number when they moved out of the county and that we often times got calls for my mother. Then in a slurred jumble of words in a rather annoyed tone I understood her to say that it was probably my mother but then asked to speak to my wife my wife instead. Her words were hard to follow because of the slurring and I was so surprised by her confrontational tone, that I asked her to repeat herself. She then got even more frustrated and hung up after saying "goodbye" in a mocking tone. I called the number back immediately and left a VM telling her that I didn't appreciate the rude call and that I hoped her night got better. What a dirt bag.
