Strange 12 digit phone number?

Question

Has anyone ever seen a 12 digit number come up on their caller id? I did and have no idea how to call it back. It was a telemarketer and I want to contact them to have my number taken off their list! What do I do? I have already registered with the national do not call list months ago!

Answer 1

sounds like an overseas number..

Answer 2

It may be a scam call from overseas to run up your bill.

The phone Country Code for 442 does not exist on this 1st site. Most likely a scam See:

Answer 3

its a uk number with the international code in-front. drop the 44 and insert a 0. they are both inner london numbers (0207)

Answer 4

Scam and advertising and collection agencies companies can put out whatever they want on their caller ID. No amount of looking up the phone number will help.

Answer 5

A lot of times, those places use VOIP services and if the terminating carrier (your phone company) id service is incompatable, you will get a strange number. For instance, in the US when someone on a Skype Phone calls a land line is says something like 00000000001234

Answer 6

('=-.,_,.-+-.,DON'T WORRY,.-+-.,_,.-=')

I've gotten the same calls on my cell before. I called the phone company and asked them. A 12 digit number that starts with 44 is from the United Kingdom. The 207 means it's from inner city London. It's probably a wrong number or some kind of telemarketer or scam artist.
