I answered this number and after saying hello 4 times a man said hello and then hung up.  I tried to call the number back and it has been disconnected.  Who is this?

I received a call from the 224-359-1452 at 7:03 PM yesterday evening (4/13/09).  As stated by someone else, I had received a call from this number before (cannot recall excatly when) so I picked up the phone.  I said hello several times with no response.  I looked up this number and read the comments by others with the same problem.  Because I think this sort of deliberate action by another should be documented and reported, I am posting my experience here, and will be placing a call to Detective Keith Smith of the Kane County Sheriff's office at 630-208-2039.  I find it very odd that the number is supposed to be disconnected!!!

he called me, no one was there. I called back the number was disconnected

Hey he called me too I called back the # was disconnected

I received a call from 224-359-1452 a few minutes ago.  I usually let the machine pick up, but I remember seeing this number the other day, and wondered who it was.  Picked the phone  up and said "Hello" about four times.  Nothing. I researched the number on the look up sites,and it is an Elgin exchange.  I'm in West Dundee.  I called the number back, and got the same response as above.  A recording stating the number has been disconnected.  My question is, if the freaking number has been disconnected for at least a week, how can the person on the other end be placing the calls?

Caller did not respond. Called number back said it was disconnected.

Passing on info to local police.

I too recieved a call with no one speaking on the other end.  This person seems to have some deep-seeded issues.  I suggest they get professional help.

Could be a robo-call number. If you answer and hear nothing, try waiting a few seconds to see if someone comes on the line. This has happened to me several times lately, with calls from different numbers. I think this is a service that can be purchased by companies, political parties, etc. When the system senses that a live person picked up the phone, it routes the call to whoever wants to sell you something - that could be a live person or a recording. Being on the do-not-call list does not help.

Same thing...checked caller id and didn't recognize number. When I called back, says it is not in service.

Also got the call 4/8/2009 and when I called back the number was disconnected.

received the phone call and no one spoke on the other side.  Called back and heard the message that the phone was disconnected. What is this?  Is someone checking if the house is empty??

What town are you in?

Has this guy called you more than once?

How many calls have you gotten?

Called, and Did not speak. Called Number back and got message that this number is disconnected.

Guy called and claimed to be doing a water survey.  Seemed legit until he asked if I was employed or a stay home mom.  When I called back, I was told the # was disconnected!

WTF?  No idea who this is and calls my cell phone.

receiving calls from this number, but never leave me a message.
