Strange Caller ID

I have been getting strange calls from the following numbers:

• 204
• 507
• 423

Yes, those are the numbers that show up in the caller id on the cellphone. I would see 204 appear and that's it. Very weird.

So it turns out that the numbers are from telephone solicitors that found the number online via the Yellow Pages. I believe that they were trying to upsell Yellow Pages services.

513 275 1387

I can confirm that a call from (513) 275-1387 is Everest University. I received the call twice yesterday, the second time I talked to them I confirmed that it was Everest University.

Use this link, if you do not wish to be contacted by Everest University Online by telephone, mail or email.

I don't know why they continue to contact me, I have told them numerous times that I have no interest in their University.

866 475 8517

I received a call from this number today at work. They ask, "Can I talk to someone who does Credit Card processing."

I told them they need to call the main number. She said, "This is a corporation?"

 "Yes," I responded

"Ok, I'll get the main number. Thanks." and hung up.

We got a call from (954) 332-6243 yesterday, we don't have a septic tank as we use the town sewer. We never have done business with the above company and the person kept pretending that we have.

402 982-0823

If you get a call from 402 982 0823 this is a credit card company. This is a credit card solicitation.

They just called my work number. It appears that they randomly call numbers since my work number is not published and is not something that I distribute out to any company.

They start the call off that they have been trying to reach you concerning lowering your credit card interest rate and that this is the last time they will be contacting you. The action item is that if you want to lower your rate press one, otherwise simply hang up. The way this is presented it appears that my credit card company is calling to let me know that my interest rates are going up. Very misleading.

If you get the call asked them why they called, they will say something like to "consolidate all your credit cards - Visa, MasterCard, American Express - to as low as 10%." You should say, "Oh, well I don't qualify for the offer."

They will say, "sorry for calling you" and they will remove you from their "call list." Which obviously should not have happened in the first place.
