Same thing here. Gotten a call from the "Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh".
I see two options here: Either:
- The Children's Hospital have got a huge opportunity managing the correct phone numbers or mis-typing them would be common or
- some "company" calls random numbers, the perplexed victim calls back, and all s/he gets to hear is just an answering machine saying it's not possible to leave a message and - hey, presto - your number has been stored in their caller-ID history. Good value for them so they "know" which numbers are for real for further telemarketing use or some others of these "soliciting calls".
Guess the 2nd Option to me sounds much more likely; I mean, what is the chance I get a call from them where, number one: I have a phone number starting with an Arizona local code (928) AND number two, which tops it all, I'm living in Europe, using one of these MagicJacks I got when I was in the USA a while back.
Conclusion, just don't call back this number.
