A phone call from number 000-000-0000???
That's what has come up on my caller ID a couple of times... Both times I didn't pick up (whoever was calling didn't leave a message).

Is that a call from hell???

Who has a number like that?

am I being paranoid?

1. Is your caller ID
a separate unit from the telephone / does it need a battery?


:shrug:

2. It's my cell phone.
I gave up my landline a long time ago.

3. That has happened to me before. I can't
remember who it was but I remember thinking it was strange.

4. Probably a telemarketer or other call center.
Could be a collections agent, though. :7

6. Yeah, it's getting pretty wide spread...
I got a wrong number call from 123-456-7890 the other day.

Ha! A spoofer getting a wrong number... LOL!
