For most of a week now, I've been getting hang-up calls on my cell phone, showing a caller ID of 888-695-9405. If I call that number back, I get a recording thanking me for calling the DNC Hotline, and asking me to leave my number after the beep. I was reluctant at first, but after enough of these calls I did try leaving my number, but the calls keep coming.
I've tried all the reverse lookup sites I could think of, none show that number. A Google search only turns up me asking, over in misc.consumers, if anyone knew who that number belonged to.
After asking in misc.consumers, though, I have received email from other people who have received the same nuisance calls from the same number.
- How do I find out who that number belongs to?
- How do I know that's really the number calling me?
- How, other than logging all these calls at formatting linkdo I get the calls to stop?
Unfortunately, the cell phone they're calling is with Cingular, so customer service isn't the greatest.
