Phone number keeps calling me and hanging up over the last couple weeks

[BudAshes]

and when I googled the number today it says it belongs to a lady that just died a couple weeks ago. Weirdest part is sometimes when I pick up it sits there for a while and I hear some garbled language then it hangs up.

It's about time zombies entered the digital age.

I get this spooky call every day from some strange man. He has a thick Indian accent and keeps asking if I want my ducks cleaned. I have no ducks. D:

You need to switch your phone system to Covad.

Last time it happened to me it was me trying to contact me from the future. Apparently they have shitty cell reception then.

I keep getting the same kind of call, something about not building a machine. No idea what it's referring to. I wonder if it's the time machine I started on.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. A dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

You are doomed.

Next time they call tell them you have Geese, ask them what to do?

The calls are coming from inside your house!

 

[NoTine42]

Is it a Chicago number? She's probably asking you to vote.

You have 7 days.

My solution:
1. Register with national do not call list https://www.donotcall.gov/
2. Use call blocking service on smart phone
3. Write down numbers that call frequently and block or report to FCC

I was getting same type of calls...one from India, no message, no dial tone
One from local area code something about signing up for college courses that I "inquired about" Of course I never did inquire about any such thing as I have a Master's degree
I also reported these numbers to the FCC
These types of calls stopped.

Sounds like a prankster. I'd suggest you refer the calls to your telephone service provider and have them block the phone number.

 

[lesliefaust]

Or you can get the free call blocker app by Callercenter.com. Simply add the number to your block list and all the their future calls are filtered from coming through.

Good way to test that is to disconnect the line at the NID.

If the calls keep happening, it's time to call a CCNP. Cisco Certified Network Priest. :biggrin:

I have a netbook in the kitchen connected to a monitor which is using a caller ID capable dial-up USB modem and running a piece of software called phone tray. With that it will hang up on telemarketers and numbers that I block.
