This one hit at 5:57 PM today with the ID of "Name Not Found". This roll-over of numbers in the last few days indicates to me that there is a considerable upset going on with the whole spoofy system. Did a report to the FCC (for the DNC) uncover something? Were there enough complaints that came in fast enough for the FCC to be able to make a good trace? Of course we will never know, but I'd like to think that something gave these scumbags a "drop kick in the end zone". They can be hurt.

Update on April 16: Last night my land line phone not only was hit by "Name Not Found", but also "Private Caller" at 7:10 PM and "Unknown Caller" at 8:12 PM (notice a pattern here, ten to twelve minutes after the hour?). Of course there were no phone numbers!
As I have commented for other numbers, it seems that these kinds of calls are going through a transition with the numbers they use to cover themselves by spoofing real numbers.
What would shut down a lot of this malarkey is to make cell phone numbers inaccessible. That is what made cells phones so popular; the junk phone call people could not get through to them. Of course, such action to return to the former policy of cell phone inaccessibility would be too late by now. The cat is out of the bag, so to speak. Don't forget that these hoodlums make certain to hit land line phones with equal vengeance.
This whole business is illegal, yet evidently no one in authority is making any effort to shut it down -- maybe. This sudden increase in activity to set up new numbers makes me wonder if the FCC/DNC have placed a successful "drop kick in the end zone" to some of these racketeers. Unfortunately, the racketeers simply regroup and set up shop somewhere else. So, 800notes and other similar sites will continue their vigil, giving aggrieved phone customers a place to "vent their spleen".
Somehow, this must be brought to an end. I pay for my phone service, so why should I have to endure advertisements from out of the blue?
Got a call from this number but it had unknown number and i didn't recognize it so I didn't answer it. the message light blinked but it was nothing there. i can tell that the line was open but no one said anything. no sounds in the background so your guess is as good as mine.
