Where did this strange phone number come from and why are they calling me?

Question

This number came up on my caller ID when I answered the phone showed conected but there was no one on the line. Anyone know where a number like this could have come from 726-001-24

Answer 1

Russia  starts out with a 7, followed by  a Subscriber Number: of   5-7 digits so, I'd just discard the message if any. It's probably a scam  like these emails saying "so-and-so died in a plane crash in Kenya and left you 20 million US dollars, providing you let me act as your agent. We will then split the money fairly, with me getting 70% and you to get 30%, blah blah blah if you send me ALL your personal information."  Probably an identity theft scheme.

Answer 2

google the number - the caller id on ur phone isnt always truthful-there is a way to manipulate a caller id to show any number u want it to show
