It is a bit rude to use someone else's phone to make a call wtihout asking.\n\nI would keep a wary eye on this one.

THEY ARE LIKE TELEMARKETER CALLS AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.  I DON'T PAY MY PHONE BILL FOR THEIR BENEFIT.

just what I was thinking.  You probably have a dialer software.  That means your phone is calling an international number and your getting charged a whole lot of money per minute.\n\nadded*\n   run your computer in safe mode to download the software that was recomended.

the person calling you has their number blocked through the phone company.  there's nothing that you can do unless that person wants to unblock their number.

I got a call from these guys today.\nI listened to their pitch and was going along with it until they asked for my bank info.\nI refused, but they kept pushing, gently.\nFinally, I asked for their federal tax ID. The "manager" I spoke to said that no one there had that information, but they would have one of their superiors get back to me.\nWhen I asked for a contact number, she said that it would be better if they contacted me. I asked if it was their policy not to give out their phone number. I was told that they give that info out all the time. \nThen she hung up.

Do they ask you for money or a ton of personal info?  If so it's a scam.

Scams, most likely. I don't trust online too much, they say free and then u need a credit card for a $1.00 charge which they could continue to charge your account.\nAnywho, the old fashioned way, a job or the new way - go on a reality show, act a fool, get kicked off and the phone will start ringing off the hook. I feel like doing it myself.

absolutely not! you are saying you are a DSL user. while the DSL and your phone line share the same line they are actually seperate. your phone line shares half with your DSL and half with your actual land line.. you use a filter that makes the seperation of DSL with your land line.. so NO they couldnt get that number.. unless you got hacked and you have that info avalible on your pc.. but thats another story

Sometimes, I pretend to be one when a stupid person dials a wrong number.\n\nIt's amazing the information that some folk will provide to an "operator".

Most calls I receive that display an 800 prefix and don't leave messages are almost certainly telemarketers.  My guess is that's who called you.

Here's the real question, why would the government call you offering free money. My guess is its a scam, bet they wanted your social security number too.

that doues not work for me because the operator comes on and says the number is untraceble. so i am going to say no but the phone company has a way if you give them the time they called and tell them you want that number. they have to give it to you. but you might have to tell them you keep on getting bothered by them of something because i have peopel here that like to call at 2 am and hang up with numbers that are un traceable. i just report it to the phone company and file a complant and they give me the number. and i cann the police.

If you do phone them 24 times in a row you are an absolute idiot.  You are tying up the telephones at the station.  If a real emergency occurs the people may not get through.  If you do keep phoning I do hope they find you and charge you.

OMG DO NOT! answer to this number!!!!! I've gotten alot of numbers from area codes 305 and 373 these are scams! do not answer phone calls from numbers beginning 305 or 373. I've researched this and found out these people will have your credit card number! They will offer a free gass card or gift cards to various places. When you turn them down they'll offer you a free magazine subscription. They will repeat the last 4 digits of your credit card number and if u say i gotta go or just hang up they know its urs and its valid. If u do happen to answer one of these call ur credit card company immediatly and cancel it! they will charge you monthly about 50$ please dont answer these calls they will scam you! Tell everyone you know to block them block them in ur privacy section of ur cell phone
