A Spanish sounding caller called using my child name and asked for my wife who became  suspicious and began grilling him with questions like: where are you calling from ? what organization are you with ? are you aware that everything you say is recorded ? ...etc.
The guy hung up and my wife immediately called back and she got a recorded message informing her that it's disconnected !!
How is it possible a disconnected line can still be used by the crook ?

I just got a call from this number but they hung up before I got to the telephone. I've been getting a lot of calls about special interest rates on my credit cards which is also a scam so I block the number each time one comes in. They keep changing the numbers and so far I've got 18 blocked numbers on my phone. Not knowing who this could be prompted me to search the number and came up with this website. Thanks for the heads up, it helps to work together.

Just received a call from this number and didn't answer it.  I tried to call it back from my office phone and it said the number I dialed was not in service, please check the number and try again.  So I called it back from my cell phone and it rang through...SO...long story short.  It's a sales call about home and auto insurance.  The first words out of the calltakers mouth were 'What is the year make and model of your car?'.  I asked "who are you?" and she said, "you called me, dont you want to save money on your insurance?" then when I asked what company it was again, she said the auto insurance center.  I asked them to remove my number from their list, she said OK, and hung up.

If you are using a VOIP system you can spoof the caller ID
