My cell rings and I see the number (216) 999-9988. I answer and hear a prerecorded message playing. The message seems to have been playing even before I answered, so I assume it's on a loop.

I googled the number and come up with this:

http://whocalled.us/lookup/2169999988

Has anyone else received weird prerecorded messages in Spanish, or know if this is an evil plot to begin the telemarketing barrage of cell phones?

I've gotten the same call on my cell phone.

Well, I assume it's the same because it completely fits every aspect of your description, but I don't know what the message was saying because it is in Spanish, and I never stay on to try and interpret it.

I've gotten the call maybe a half-dozen times in the last year.

I'm currently with Cingular. I've received random calls before, but nothing this strange.

I got one in an asian dialect the other day talking at 90 mph with no breaks. I handed the phone to my wife as a hoot and said, "it's for you."
