can't find a suitable category, sorry

I've been getting phone calls from this number(not answered) and have searched the whocallsme web site,this number has been around for about 4 years it seems, the responses have ranged from a company in Salem Ohio to identity thieves to ambulance chasers. Does anyone have any relevant info ?
I'm not too fussed, if I don't recognise the number, I don't answer.

more seriously alba - please read the below that I have extracted on a quick search

"To better inform everyone the number 123 456 7890, it used to hid the actual caller....it's called caller voice over internet protcol (IP) or caller ID spoofing. It's like a call card, with a pin. Look it up and better inform yourself. If anyone is familiar with the phone company Vonage? this company made this device, it's illegal but criminals now use to to hind where they are actually calling from. A bill was passed in June 2007 Bill S. 704 named truth in caller ID Act. Law enforcement is expempted from this law. It original purpose was for business personal to make it look like there are calling from the office,which in return they were not. or the average person for privacy purposes. So fraudulent telemarketers use this device, they could be calling from anywhere, so be careful of calling any number back due to long distance charges.

I might just, apparently someone did answer and they got white noise.

Some one else answered and said at the second beep the time is (according to the poster was accurate) and at the third beep you will die in 10 days. What a load of twaddle.

Nice knowing you, alba...............

I read that too DT, hence avoiding answering the phone.

I've no idea about vonnage, and don't wish to know anything about them Telus also was mentioned somewhere.

It's my hubby's mobile they phone, but I don't have caller ID on mine so I guess I could be more susceptible. (what wa word for a Monday night !!) if that word exists :)

Vonage is an American outfit.......many US prisoners have latched onto them, as they have also tried on land lines over there...

Aye, a sequence like that, the odds are near 100% it's someone spoofing their calling number. Probably used by loads of dodgy outfits.
