More low life identity thieves, frauds, scammers, liars, etc. using a variety of phony computer-generated numbers and tie-lines. This number came up as New York, but has been used in the past for a variety of educational and college related scams, cleaning services, plus prizes if you pay them a fee up front via credit card or electronic transfer from your checking account. The latter are the worst possible things you could do, as they will steal hundreds and thousands of $ from your accounts. Beware!! Other numbers used by these lowlife, in addition to the ones cited above are 703-555-5555, 732--833-2944 and 917-398-9164 with the same theme. In my household and business, as well as many others, if an incoming call is not identified as to the person or business, it will not be answered. The number for a persistent caller of this nature will be programmed into our call blockers. It is assumed that all improperly or incompletely identified numbers are from the increasing number of scams, frauds, tie-lines, etc. This is why everyone must contact their elected reps in DC to demand they significantly strengthen the DNC laws, providing extremely severe dollar and prison sentences for violators. This is an opportunity for Congress to actually do something useful for the country, not just pass gas and throw spitballs at each other. Any business must be properly identified on Caller Id, not hide behind Not Available, Private, Unavailable, etc. There must be a new scam and fraud being generated every second out there. We need call control, not gun control!
