Earlier this morning - Call Display says 'Unknown Caller' so likely computer generated. Reverse Lookup does not come up with a valid listing for this number. The area code belongs to Santa Cruz, California USA. Scammers often spoof numbers based on a pattern on the keyboard, usually around the outside edges (i.e., 212-3421). I know no one in that area code, so listened for that 'dead air' pause that occurs when a robo-dialler is used over VoIP (voice over internet-protocol; computer run) is used. Definately dead air, so hung up before it could connect. Second exact same call a few minutes later. Hanging up prior to connection tells the computer that it can't connect to the number dialed, as is done when numbers are disconnected. I get far fewer robo-dialed calls that way, as the computer thinks the number isn't valid anymore.
