well... I've been getting these calls on my cell phone, they must be spoofing their number, its either 1204 or 1104. I can't call back, get a message saying its an invalid number...
Well... keeps calling, 1204 hangs up. 1104 asks me for my bank account number, saying I've won $5,000
After a few times, I told them not to call back. Finally, I said, "you know what, screw you"
its still happening.
Anyone know / having this happen to them?

Bitblaster you are not good at keeping things private I guess.
$5,000? What are you waiting for!
things private, like what?Quote:

why don't answer calls you don't recognize?Quote:

I didn't really give it out to random strangers, and on the net... I just gave it to some people that I seemed to like, and they said that it was safe to give it to them.
Yah many companies dont have a service to block income calls or u just need a special childish line. U may find software to block calls if uve got a s60 symbyan or WM phone.Quote:

Hmm - I don't see why anyone would go to so much trouble for this... and I don't have those phones.Quote:

You shouldn't pick up the calls, they could be long distance and they can reverse the charge.
If I were you I'd report them to the Police.
I will end up calling someone if it happens again, or call the phone company and tell them that I feel threatened... wonder how that question will work out.Quote:

I never answer phone calls I don't recognize...and I don't miss out on anything. If they keep calling I might answer, considering it might be a friend using someone else's phone or whatever. But if I notice that the phone number isn't from the area...good luck getting me to pick it up.
I honestly don't know why you'd answer it, after receiving it once.
Because maybe some ppl have a habbit of using an " unknown " number. I've got it set to that, so it could be some1 he knows doing the same:P?
You may have misread it, or I may have not been clear.Quote:

I didn't mean that it was coming from the school.
Ask for your phone company to block it rather than trace it? Blocking a number shouldn't be particularly hard.
can they do that - even with a spoofed number?Quote:

You txt them with a word and it redirects it to the right company thus loads of companies can use one (shout) service number that's easier to remember.Quote:

But blocking all numbers from it should be possible I reckon. If not just call the police/threaten the phone company legal action because of them not trying to stop it.
wtf r u all being stalked or something,
they r comming for us we gatta hide!
That is pretty weird. I once got a call from the number 888-888 which is obviously invalid and after the number hung up, there was a new voice mail message full of weird static. Pretty creepy. I would say just don't pick up if it is a really weird number or if you know the number to be a stupid ad/scam.

It's a national do not call list. If they were to call after you're on this list, take down all their info, tell them you're on this list. If it where to happen again after you've taken their info, you can sue them.
