This number actually belongs to our local Subway sandwich shop so it's definitely spoofed. It rang one ring too long and tripped my voice mail. Imagine my surprise to learn that Subway's half-price foot long-sub of the day today is a medical alert system for seniors!........"P'--cress 1 to continue or press 9 to opt out."
Recently, the trend appears to be to spoof caller ID numbers that are local to the "mark". Seems it's more likely that someone will answer a call from their own area code or exchange. The sad thing is that these schemes seem to work or they wouldn't still be using them. Please people, don't answer unknown calls. Even though it costs them only thousandths of a cent per call, when their profit drops under minimum wage, maybe they'll move on to less annoying cons.
