Very important to not answer this number. Called and claimed they had my daughter and needed cash money or they will kill her. When I demanded to speak with her it was clear it wasn't her on the phone and I called my daughter after hanging up to make sure she was ok and she was. It's very easy to fall for these calls. Be careful if you see this number! Make sure to hang up and instantly block! And if they don't give details to anything you are asking for know there is something wrong.

The first thing you should do after receiving a life-threatening phone call is to run a trace after the call has ended, by dialing *57, then going to the police and filing a report :
Malicious caller identification, activated by Vertical service code Star codes *57, is an upcharge fee subscription service offered by telephone company providers which, when dialed immediately after a malicious call, records meta-data for police follow-up. Remember to file a police report for each use - law enforcement will only act on the trace once a formal police report is filed in regard to the call.
Malicious caller identification facility, also called malicious call trace or caller activated malicious call trace, when subscribed or enabled, works by allowing a phone call recipient to mark or flag the preceding phone call connection as malicious (i.e. harassing, threatening, obscene, etc.) The phone system will then automatically trace the call by flagging station to station billing and routing data including start and end times. The call trace is not dependent upon call duration (as envisioned in dramatic movie plots) and will record all meta-data regardless of source conditions - even if the call was made from an unlisted number, a payphone or a number with caller identification disabled. To protect privacy the resulting trace data is only made available to law enforcement.
