has been calling for weeks

I get the same call all the time. Usually it says "Im glad we had the time to talk.  Thanks for answering. I'll call again."  It freaked me out!!  It was like something out of the movie WARGAMES!!!  Anyway, I live in NA as well.  I also happen to work for the phone co.  Im gonna ask my boss tomorrow.  Let you guys know whats up.

My mon is in NA and has been getting the same calls!  I called for and blocked the number for her and it stopped for 3 days and she just told me it started again today.  Th caller ID says Hackensack but then on Reverse lookup I found it is a landline with an MCI carrier and it said Newark.  I am wondering if it is coming from a Jail in Bergen/Essex County???  I had trouble with that a few years ago when I lived in Jersey City.
I do find some common thread here, my mom had her house up for sale last year.  Coincidence???  Someone has to get to the bottom of this and I won;t stop till it happens....Good luck everyone!

You mean you hit Star 57 and then reported them and nothing? Sounds to me like they are in bed with the morons. They sell you callerID but the system
can be beat very easily. Star 57 costs $1 That made me laugh! So you spend several dollars and nothing?

     I am back to thinking the machine just logs what time people are home and who answers their phone. I got that call center from Nigeria looking to help me lower my credit card rates again today while hoping to log the other knucklehead. In between someone wanted to show my house.

Got me again today too.  I reported it again, but it does seem to be useless reporting them as I have reported this at least four times and it is still continuing.

Got me again! I called the Worthless complaint center. I now have to let the phone ring two times then if it is him hangup and hit hit *57 and then call the center again. The caller ID number is not usable in court. still the same number 201-403-9978 tone of voice is more human.

robotic message, today it said today is monday. Calls almost everyday!

It may be our political pals tooling up for November! There was another number calling me with the same system. I can't find my post.

I have been getting these calls for awhile now never really thinking about it, but now they have become more frequent.  5-10 times a day is absurd!  Also, got the creepy message about the 4th of July.  What's the deal.  I called Verizon today, and even the Verizon guy thought it sounded freaky.  I will call the "Unlawful Call Center" and see what happens.  It seems that we are all in the same creepy boat!

I used to live in NA and still have the phone number that I had there.  You may be on to something.

At first I thought it was caused by the items I put on Craig's list. Second guess was the listing of the house for sale. Looking back it started with that lost cat. A guy at the town hall claims he used an online service to hit every person in NA.
   I use dial up through Earthlink. I also get a guy with a foreign accent that asks to show my house on holidays and Sunday. He never shows! There are some real crazies out there!

we're in NA too, and they just keep on calling.   Very very creepy.  Today they said "today is July 3rd, tomorrow is July 4th, Goodbye!"
Something has to be done about this....

I'm curious.  I use verizon as my ISP.  Do you too?  My concern is that it could be coming from someone hacking through that way and accessing everying from the computer.  I'm not a teckie and don't even know if this is possible, but these days, you have to be wary.

It just called me again after I posted. It used to call under another number. My guess is it is a new money making scam. By answering the phone it can log when you are home. That information can then be sold. I live in NA NJ and the town called everybody over a lost cat. It made the news. One more reason I put my house up for sale. I am on the do not call list that seems to be worthless at this point. After my house sells I go back to screening my calls.

I recieved a few calls from a similar number (201-403-9980) that I reported on here that caller ID said was from hackensack nj.  But internet searches traced it to newark, nj.  It was a robotic voice saying "hello, today is thursday.  thank you, goodbye"  I recently started recieving calls from this number but did not pick up and did not get any voicemail.  But today they called twice and left messages.  Both messages sounded like it came from an actual person, and it sounded like the same guy.  The first said "hello, today is july 3rd, tomorrow is the 4th of july.  Happy 4th of july"  The second said "tomorrow is july 4th, happy fourth of july"

Been getting this crap for months. I am in the middle off selling my house and this is not helping.

I reported it to Verizon and traced the call.  According to Verizon, they are working on it.  However the calls are continuing and now it's a person's voice saying. "Hi.  It's me.  Happy Fourth of July."  This is some sick individual.

they seem to call every day.  The first day it happened, I answered and got that creepy recording.   I tried calling the number from my cell phone (all the while blocking my number) all you get is a recording that this is a non-working number.   I called the police & they told me to keep track of it, and if it continues to come up & file a report.   Apparently others are receiving the same call.   very creepy!!!!!!!

We are receiving these calls continuely & they do not stop they continue

It is very errie & the phone company cannot control them because they are identifying the number.

I get that too, started out of the blue... The robotic voice "Hello, this is a test. Goodbye.". If you answer it, no robotic voice just silence. I'd suspect its probably some telemarketing firm fine tuning their electronic delivery system and records?

Not sure who your carrier is, but I have Verizon and called to report this issue.  They gave me the number for their "Unlawful Call Center."  It is 800-518-5507.  They're closed now, but I'm going to call back tomorrow.  Their hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Hope this information helps.

The call comes in at random times from this number.  As above poster stated.  It just says in a very eerie robotic voice.  "Hello.  This is a test.  Goodbye."  It's bizzare.

Got the same thing tonight.  Used to get it a few months ago, but it suddenly stopped.  Started again.  Got it twice today.  It's a very eerie robotic voice.

A robotic voice: "Hello, this is a test. Goodbye."

Just something eerie.
