I never answer calls that show up like this on caller id. I just block & then come here to see whats up..

Received a call from this number shortly before 8:00 PM tonight (Saturday). My answering machine screens all calls. The caller left no message.

I got the same call as everyone else. It's not a live human being, it's a computer. The only possible reason for the calls is to verify that the phone number is active and/or answered by a human.

I'm not sure what good reporting it to the FTC will do. There's no sales pitch.

The ultimate client(s) could be companies that make outbound calls for telemarketing and collections purposes, those companies could scrub their lists in almost real-time, saving costs associated with time wasted reaching out-of-service numbers and numbers where only voicemail or a fax tone is available.

Same as everyone else. Says wrong number. What can we do to stop these scum bags?

Same to report as everyone else
