Strange Phone Call Tonight...

Hey,

Tonight my cell phone received a call from the number '0010000000000' and when I answered it, the line went dead.

This has freaked me out a bit as it's such a strange number calling me. I'm hesitant to call it back.

Any ideas?

Did you Google it? Any time I get a weird number calling and hanging up I Google it and it usually provides some answers. Whoringsme.com is good.

Looks like marketing nothing to worry about!

Relax it was probably just an automated dialer...actually I wouild bet that is what it was. I had an unknown call today and it was a recording of some lady in Spanish. NO IDEA what she said since I live in the US and speak English. I wasn't freaked I just got annoyed at solicitors calling my cell phone and in Spanish even. I woudn't worry. Those numbers mean nothing. It could have been anything number solicitors or automated dialers and the call was disconnected. I know when I worked at a call center many would hang up as soon as the person answered the phone, it was a way to get more calls and make your scores for calls high. It was wrong but it was done, so it could have been that.

Thats a wierd phone number , have you tried calling it back?
I'd guess morpheus got the wrong number.

i had a call from that number a while back. it turned out it was the lottery trying to tell me about a prize i had won....lol.. try this- whocallsme.com...

Could you have someone else call from a different number and see who answers?
Also, I suggested this to someone in a different thread with a similar problem:

I remember a while back I used to use this application from either bored.com or ebaumsworld, and you could enter anyone's phone number, and use any phone number for what you wanted to show up as on the caller ID. You'd type some text of what you wanted to say, and when the person picked up, a creepy computer voice would say whatever you typed. I did this to my mom a few times so I know it works

Maybe it was a friend playing a joke?

Just typed that number into google and it seems alot of people have been getting strange calls from this number

I would not worry probably a scam call just ignore it if they call again

probably you are messing with the wrong people buddy remember that we masons have control of entire world 666 be fear of the beast

Hmmmm seems people have had strange calls from this number involving grunting sounds, silence and sometimes scams such as saying pc's are infected and win a cruise.

Why whoever is making the calls is not speaking and hanging up or grunting is beyond me though.

A lot of people get calls from this number. Some are Viral Marketers, some are Scammers, and some just hang up and call repeatedly.

CallerID Spoofing is child's play. Every Marketer uses anymore...although it actually gets a little funny when they use CallerID Spoofing to read "Marketing Scam" or "Identity Thief".

Thank's for all the help friends. I feel a lot better about it now (stars for all )

(except for the Masons 666 we're coming for you post)

i got a number that came up as 000-000-0000 the other day....

I dont mean to alarm anyone here... But this is serious.. OP you need to run and run far and fast...
If you add up all of the #'s you get 1 Do you know what 1 means.. 1X any number = that #.. So essentially you could times it by 666 and the devil is callling you.. This is bad very bad!

Its just marketing They use all sorts of numbers to disguise themselves.
The drop calls can actually make the company money...the computer just dials a number, connects...and charges a connection fee. They dont need to talk to you to make money anymore lol...it is a scam, and a very well known one

I dont mean to be rude..but how do you get that??
Theres normally a rational explanation for most things....this included. I would have to disagree with you on the devil phoning you lol.
Read my other reply to the thread above/below this one...its a computer dialling, it can designate any number to disguise the true origins of the call...and by that i do not mean the devil uses the same practice

(is there an age limit on here...is it checked??? Lots of young kids on here lately with wild ideas lol)

I had to laugh at this one BRL...I mentally added punctuation to the website name and got Whoring's Me.com instead of Who Rings Me.com. Thanks for making my day!
