Been getting this crap for months. I am in the middle off selling my house and this is not helping.

I recieved a few calls from a similar number (201-403-9980) that I reported on here that caller ID said was from hackensack nj.  But internet searches traced it to newark, nj.  It was a robotic voice saying "hello, today is thursday.  thank you, goodbye"  I recently started recieving calls from this number but did not pick up and did not get any voicemail.  But today they called twice and left messages.  Both messages sounded like it came from an actual person, and it sounded like the same guy.  The first said "hello, today is july 3rd, tomorrow is the 4th of july.  Happy 4th of july"  The second said "tomorrow is july 4th, happy fourth of july"

It just called me again after I posted. It used to call under another number. My guess is it is a new money making scam. By answering the phone it can log when you are home. That information can then be sold. I live in NA NJ and the town called everybody over a lost cat. It made the news. One more reason I put my house up for sale. I am on the do not call list that seems to be worthless at this point. After my house sells I go back to screening my calls.

we're in NA too, and they just keep on calling.   Very very creepy.  Today they said "today is July 3rd, tomorrow is July 4th, Goodbye!"
Something has to be done about this....

I'm curious.  I use verizon as my ISP.  Do you too?  My concern is that it could be coming from someone hacking through that way and accessing everying from the computer.  I'm not a teckie and don't even know if this is possible, but these days, you have to be wary.
