757-990-8981 / 7579908981

I spoke with 6 different operaters and basically, I was told it is not a valid # as well--or better yet that it was not a # that could recieve incoming calls.

did a reverse search on this number(757.990.8981) and ended up here. how very interesting to find out that Dish Network has something to do with this. i HATE the DISH. biggest mistake i ever made was switching for direct tv, but that is another story. anyway, the last time i did the reverse search becauz of another annoying number, somebody left the following address. i followed up and got a response from the fcc a few days later. good luckwww.fcc.gov/cgb

After several tracing attempts, was told it is not a # that recieves incoming calls (i.e. cell or track phone, computer, or fax as some examples suggested)

scammed

Today Feb-18-2009 I got a call from this number too, just noise in the background.

The number that is calling you, 757-990-8981, will show up as an unknown number because it technically does not exist in the system. The number is owned by WASHINGTON/BALTIMORE CELLULAR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP which is an affiliate of US Cellular. The number only exsists in thier switch and is used to make test calls to comply with FCC regulations.

I agree!!!

Said they were working with my credit card company to lower my rate. When i asked them if they were authrorized by my credit card company they hung up on me.

I got a call last night at 9:17 PM from 7579908981. No message was left.I work early in the AM, so I am usually asleep by 9PM. I thought soliciters had time/hour restraints to call for solicitation?

Automated call telling me the same thing as the previous post. Hung up, tried to call the number, but got the message that it's not a recognized number.
