This is a phony, computer-generated or tie-line number oriented toward some scam. This is another indication that everyone must please contact their elected reps in DC to demand strengthened Do Not Calls, prohibit any type of telemarketing, soliciting or surveys, whether political, charitable, causes or under the guise of anything else (over 90% of funds donated over the phone will go into the pockets of the organizers, and you risk $100s or $thousands of fraudulent charges on your credit card for a $10 donation), prohibit the use of any telephone number not issued by a licensed common carrier (telephone company), or any use of computer-generated or tie-line numbers, with violations carrying severe criminal penalties (fines and imprisonment). prohibit any calling where the legal name of the caller is not shown on standard Caller Id, no calling before 9 AM or after 7 PM local. The situation with nuisance, scam callers is totally out of control. While away for ten days, we received over 30 nuisance, scam calls for 15 different callers! This particular number called multiple times.
