The Number shows as 919-555-1111 - This is a GENUINE Number when called from SKYPE...same with 0000123456 ALSO another SKYPE Number.
Gee some people are just so Suspicious...
I was called by a friend and their number showed as 919-555-1111 - it was a real friend and a real call but they used SKYPE from their LapTop to make their call to my Cellphone.
Nothing Suspicious...it's just a number..
Gee - Land of the Free or land of the Totally Paranoid..
Some spam call for merchant services. Like it'll actually matter anyway, I selected '8' to be taken off their list (yeah, right).
How is a 555 prefix real? It gets old that the phone company allows this [***]. If people would never, ever do business with any idiot that calls them unsolicited, we'd not have this problem (of course, the same goes for spam email, too).
We received a call from 919.555.1111 at 4:23a.m. last Friday morning. Of course when a call comes in at that time I automatically think something bad has happened to a loved one!!
I have done all the research I can and found it is a call from Sanford, N.C. but was also told these are not 'real' numbers...they are rented!
No way I could track the company down that is doing this.
I'm with the rest of you...on the DNC list but they don't care any more!
I got a call from this number this morning, and an automated message came on "You have received a phone call...press 1 to answer, press 2 to reject..." i didnt do anything, just waited to see what would happen, but nothing happened so I hung up.
We just got a call from this number. It looked strange so i didn't pick up. Had a feeling it was some scam and googled it to find out if it was legit. Found this site. Thanks for posting about it!
