This number is for a collections agency. They called one of my phones looking for my nephew and when I tried to call this number back, I got the same "dead" line.
I have gotten several calls from this number and stopped answering because no one ever said anything. I just googled it to see what it was and this forum popped up so I thought I'd put in my experience with it, too.
I've been receiving calls from this number for some time. They either ring the phone 2 or 3 times then hang up and will not leave a message on an answering machine. The call comes up on caller ID as a wireless caller with the number. I'm thinking this number belongs to one of two places, a creditor, or perhaps Verizon Wireless. Has anyone else out there had Verizon Wireless cell phone service or perhaps they dealt with a FL based collection agency? If so this could be them. Either way, I suggest that if you get a call from this number to answer it then stay on the line until they hang up, wait for the tone and hit *57. This automatically logs the call to your telephone service provider who after three calls must send a letter to the owner of the number asking them to cease and desist. In some areas this information is forwarded to law enforcement.
While searching for this number on another search engine I found it interesting that a consumer site has this number listed as a possible ID theft operation. They call you to verify that a person lives at the address before they start using your information. Just to be careful I would not suggest anyone saying anything to the calling party but instead hit mute and wait for the tone, then dial *57.
The sad part about calls like this is the fact that although it's a federal crime to harrass people, telephone companies protect the phone owner as if they have a higher priviledge of privacy than those for whom they harrass.
