Just got one. no msg. don't have verison. nor do I shop at Lowe's

The same thing has happened to me, but its been an ongoing  thing for month(s). About a few months ago I types in youtube or what I thought was (youtube) in my url and it brought me to a survey. Normally I don't do online surveys or give out my informtion, but I said what the hell its youtube there reputable and their were giving away free things(red flag). The survey said it would only take a few minutes so I did it, I gave my name, phone number (stupid) and it started asking about my education like online class. Afterthat, the survey redirected me to other websites, spam and there was no talk about the prize you were suppose win after completing the survey. So I backspaced back to the beginning of the site, and the website that I was on was not YOUTUBE.COM but YOUTBE.COM I miss spelled the site. The website has the same lettering like YOUTUBEand the same colors instead of the home page saying YOUTUBE its says THANKYOU(it tricks your eyes because its set up the same as YOUTUBE). Shortly afterthat, I started recieving off the hook phone calls from all over the country including this number. After about 1month 1/2 the call started dying down now I receive about 3 to 4 calls a month compared to the 20 to 25 a month. So what I'm getting at is maybe we all did something without realizing what we've done.

The number called my phone last night when I wasn't home, i called it twice this morning and the phone hung up before saying anything

I am unemployed due to the economy. I go to many different sites daily to look for work. I made the stupid mistake of answering some questions about wanting to return to school. Now I have every school in the US calling or e-mailing me. Most of these 3rd party call centers are outbound calls only. I know because I called my carrier to see what I could do about these unwanted calls. What happens is this... once you do something stupid like I did, your number is sold over and over again to these call centers. Your number goes on an auto call. So the call comes to your house, you pick it up, but no one is on the other end. That's because there is no one on the other end that is available to pick up the call. This can happen over and over again until someone at the call center is available. The bad part is, there is nothing you can do about it. The phone company told me the most I could do is, just keep picking up the phone and when you finally do get a real person on the other end, tell them to stop calling. I followed their advice and it did work. Good luck to everyone.. and do not fill out surveys, ever!
