It's a number that calls you to say you have won a free home security system. Press 1 to speak to a representative. It's obviously some kind of scam if you call the number back, you get an automated menu. You can press 3 to be removed from their calling list. Give them a few days to remove your number, and if they still call, there are apps for Android, iphone, Web OS, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone so there calls go automatically to voice mail. You can also use the apps to select certain phone numbers who get sent to voice mail automatically, and hear a message that your phone has been disconnected. It works very well, I highly recommend it to anyone being hassled by any number. The apps work in a way that you'll never even see that they called, so you never have to worry about answering your phone again. Worst case scenario, get a Google voice account, and use that for friends and family. It automatically transfers the call or txt to your phone, so you can ensure its someone you want to speak with. Use your old number for bill collectors and others you don't want to speak with, and it will make your life so much less stressful.

Good Luck
