This is a SPOOFED number. You can re-write 912-345-6789 as 9 + 123456789. Notice a familiar sequence of digits? If you DO choose to answer it, just be aware that you're going to be talking to a fraudster.
I received a call from 9 123456789 tonight (March 6, 2008).
I received a call from 6 123456789 one week ago (Feb 29, 2008). See the info for 612-345-6789 here: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-612-345-6789
I think this is just the latest technique that SCAM ARTISTS (do not confuse with honest telemarketers) use to mask their identities and try to come off as calls you might actually want to pick up.
I recommend that you do a CALL TRACE immediately AFTER you receive a call from this faked out number. (Usually, you dial *57 to do this.) The phone company should be able to compare the displayed number to the actual number it came from. Read up on this feature in the front of your telephone book white pages.
