Phantom Phone Calls + "Charge Complete"
Posted: 2005-10-23 12:40pm
For the past week or so, I've been getting some extremely bizarre phone calls. The number that shows up on my phone is "1-666-800-6" or "666-8006." Normally, I just don't answer, but lately I decided to start answering, as the calls have been occurring with increasing frequency. When I answer, there is no sound -- no noise, no breathing, nothing -- but my phone's display prints out under the number "Charge Complete."
I immediately called the phone company's emergency number, and they said that no such calls were appearing on my bill, so at least I'm not being charged any extra for these mysterious calls. Subsequently, I received two more calls last night (after calling the cell phone company), which I did not answer. This morning, I did a Google search on the number, but came up relatively empty.
The cell phone company said to call tech support on Monday, which I'll do, but in the meantime has anyone heard of anything like this? It's half-annoying, half-creepy.
