Every morning c. 8 AM, we get a call from 980-202-0016. When you pick up the phone, there is no answer; no message; nothing. Has been happening a couple of weeks. Investigation so far has located the phone number in Matthews, NC as a "Land Line", and is associated with "spam".
I got a call from this phone number. When you call it back it says it Verizon Wireless and the number has been changed or no longer in service. I think it's some kind of telemarketing or a scam. How can the numer be changed or disconnected so fast?
It didn't get changed or disconnected.
There are devices that telemarketers illegally use and scammers and thieves regularly use that fakes the Caller ID when they make a call to you.
They can make it say anything they want, but they like to use fake or not-in-service phone numbers so when you try to call them back it will never go through.
Repeated calls from Emergency Medical System - the "I've fallen and I can't get up" type system. It is a recording and you cannot speak to a person. I tried pressing 0 for an operator to no avail.
Would like for the Feds to locate them. This is a "do not call" registry number.
