The two numbers I am reporting are:  +33106187 and +5050000000  

This is exactly how the numbers displayed on my phone, with the "+" symbol included.   Although 800notes.com requires a phone number to fit their specific format, these two numbers were not the typical 10 digit format we use for calling other US phones.  They more resemble calls coming in from a foreign number.  

On 6/16/07, I began getting calls around 7am and the last call came in at 10:43pm!  The frequency was anywhere from 2 times in a row to 6 or 8 times in a row.  Each time they used both numbers one right after the other.  Most times I sent the call directly to voice mail (no message was ever left), other times I let the phone ring the full number of rings before the voice mail picked up (still no message was left).  

When I got about 8 calls in a row, thinking that it could possibly be one of my clients trying to reach me from Europe, I finally answered.  When I did, the caller hung up.  The call came through again and when I picked up, the connection was so bad and I couldn’t hear what the person was saying... it wasn’t even clear enough to determine what language they were speaking. One of the times, I tried answering as I would a business call and another time I said answered with "hello" and the person on the other end said "hello" in return... but then nothing else!  

I asked "can I help you?" but again, the connection was not clear or their English was not understandable, so I had no idea what they were saying.

I tried replying to the +331 number and it rang (but not a normal ring) and then it gave me what sounded like a busy signal. I have not tried dialing the +505000 number yet as I am concerned that I will be dialing a number that will end up charging me hundreds of dollars or that it is some kind of scam situation that will allow the people on the other end to use my phone number for their own purposes.

My home/office phone is transferred to my cell phone so I'm unsure if the calls were coming through my land line or simply through my cell phone.

I apologize for such a long report, but I wanted to provide all of the details.  I would really like to know if anyone else has had a situation like this or has an idea about what is going on.

Call came in at 9:52pm on a Saturday night.  Did not answer.  Message left on voice mail was not understandable and may have been in a different language.  Also, before this call came in, about a minute earlier, another call came in with a strange number on the id... as if from another country.  It did not appear to be a US 10 digit number.

I got a call from this number a lot of time..it had happens for about 20 times.....abt 10 times a day

did not answer the call, thought it was a strange number and probably and automated service. I then realized that the latest an automated call is supposed to be placed is 9:00pm... calls came in at 9:41 and 9:54

We had three calls exactly as described above at 10:36 PM 10:44 PM and 10:46 PM. EST. Having gone to bed, we really thought it was someone trying to make an honest call, but dialing the wrong number, thus tried to be helpful and curteous, letting them know, but no communications going on. Sounded like an older man (same person all times with background voices) speaking in a foreign languages(s) - even a couple different languages. My questions are: (1) Who is this? (2) What is the prpose? (3) How do they get a number? I never give out my home number. Is it a lottery pick? If so, why can't I be so lucky with the lottery? (4) Why can't the phone Co. track it and prosecute them severely with Federal FCC violations? Could be serious jail time and prevent many others from annoying situations that seem to happen. (5) Why is it allowed for people to have blocked numbers or have a number like 505-000-0000 this show up anyway? All calls from any and every phone should be identified with a name and number - no exception. Common decency. All blocked numbers do is allow people to hide activities like this. If it is a real call - they will identify themselves when the caller picks up anyway and it is person to person - still private between the connection (not wire tapped) - so why blocked numbers - one good reason!

I think if people use public communications, their number ID should never be blocked from caller ID, no more than a car registration should be  anynonomous.  Every car is identified, not to the general public, but to those who have a need to know. If someone is calling me - I have a need to know who it is!  It seems like any serious calls you get are identified, and the only ones that are not are those that are up to no good and do not want to be known. Well, if I am going to visit with someone, I would like to know who it is.

Our system is all screwed up to allow such clandestine actions, most annoying, and some that could have a criminal intent. It is not personal privacy and a right to do this when using public communications.

Let's someone in the phone companies and the Government (FCC) do something about it and solve the problem once and for all! That of course if the Government can solve a problem!!!
