I win a cruise to some exotic location every month...

The best part is when I have to go pick up my tickets in FL...I live in WA.

It's really not odd ..Numbers are reused, numbers are similar..

And deadbeats & identity thieves deliberately give out wrong numbers that can't be traced back to them when they are making phony merchandise orders they have no intention of paying for.

I read on here, actually that if you press the # button on your phone a few times during the call it messes up the caller and knocks your number out. I've tried it and seems to work. We don't get as many as we use to.

Most likely, this is some sort of scam caller, or in some cases, some charity call, with an auto dialer. What I would do is take note of all the numbers, and look them up online. There are sites that allow people to post such calls, and you might find out who it is that way. Also, if you are not on the "do not call" list, get your number on there. That will filter out telemarketers (to a point). Charity calls can still come in, though, and scammers won't obey that list, either. In any case, it's not likely anything sinister. More of an annoyance.

A few times!! What is really weird is when you call the same number back, it has been disconnected. Even when you do talk to someone, do not give them any personal information. Have you had any weird disturbance in back ground noise on a call?
