This number called and left no message. There was some time during which noise was heard, but not voices, before the hang up when call was retrieved from answering service.

NEVER CALL THEM BACK!! That's how the know you are "real"!!

They are scammers!!

Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru. If you do not know how, call their customer support!

But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:

Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.

It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!

Please call YOUR US Rep and report this scam!!

Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!

Have received several calls from this number, haven't answered, they left no message. The calls come in as "private number". I decided to answer this morning and a man said, "Mrs. (my name), you bought some carpets from us in Turkey, correct?" I said I'd never been to Turkey and hung up.

Now I wish I had played along to see where on earth this scam could have been going. Has anyone talked to these people?
