I got a call from this scammer also. I turned the ringer off of my wireless land line telephone (base unit and hand sets). I use my cell phone as my primary mode of communication, and check my land line call log once/twice a day, whenever it's convenient for me.
I called this number back anonymously, I have outbound caller-ID blocking, so my number doesn't show up when I call someone (my phone company gives me this service). When I called, I got the message "Verizon wireless, this number has been disconnected...".
Riiiiight, not really. These scammers have their system set up so that if someone calls them with a visible telephone number, then their phone number is logged into a database and they are forwarded to a telemarketing representative. If, like me, you have caller-ID block, then their system prompts the out of service fake message.
