I received 3 calls all within 1 minute of each other on my cell phone. I didn't answer as I was at work but since there was no voicemail left I decided to put the # in on Google and I followed this link. My suggestion is people who have gotten calls from this number go the websites of the FTC, the FBI, and the Illinois Attorney Generals office. I had an issue a year ago where somebody was calling approx.6 times per day, from a number that only showed 5 digits on my caller ID, and I filed reports with these agencies. My research led me to conclude it was a scam to get people to provide credit card numbers or bank routing numbers to pay what was being called an outstanding loan that was going into default. I answered one of these calls after filing my reports, told the person not to call anymore as I suspected it was a scam and that I had reported it to the various state and federal authorities. I then asked if they had a legitimate issue to mail me a certified letter. This person then got aggressive and threatening at which point I said if they called back I'd have all the calls traced and press charges for harrassment. I never heard anything again.
