This is the VA automated appointment reminder system. Had a missed call from this number but they left an automated message reminding me of my appointment with a local VA clinic.

Got 2 call today shows US Gov 713 791 1414.   No way the VA Hospital is calling this number.  Had it for over 20 years.   No message was left.  No one had or has an appointment.   It is not a bill collector for us as we don't owe anyone.  I must admit was concerned when saw US Gov.   These spamers know the tricks to fool us.    

This is the VA Hospital in Houston.   After this number you select from a group of extension numbers.

No, it really is the VA calling and not a bill collector.

We received a call from this number with the caller ID showing US Govt. and had no idea what it was about. Upon researching the number on the internet we found it was from the VA Hospital in Houston. Since we have been trying to obtain VA benefits for a family member who served in the military in the 60's and who's become completely incapacitated due to heart attack and mulltiple strokes, we were thrilled to find that they were finally dealing with his case. This number is NOT from bill collectors or solicitors of any kind!

Got a call from the same number and caller ID as above.  When I picked up the phone (without saying anything) I heard the end of an automated message (clear female voice), "....if you want to accept the call press 1, or if you want to leave a voice mail press 2."  I hung up without doing anything.  I read that VOIP calls can be made displaying anything they want in the caller ID, and I believe this is one of those cases.

After doing a bit of research it seems it is possible to change your out going phone ID and number to any in coming caller ID and number your phone has captured. This of course takes a bit of know how, but from what I've read it can be done, which makes me even more suspect of these US Government calls for known "dead beats".  I guess the best way to find out is say you are the person they are looking for and see what happens !!

About a year ago I moved and got a new phone number, it must have belonged to some "dead beat" as "people (collection agencies)" keep calling and asking for Joe ..... Usually I don't answer the phone unless it's someone I know, anyway I got a call, which caller ID indicated was from the "US Government" so I answered, someone asked for this "dead beat", I said there was no one here by that name, I asked who was calling they said the VA Hospital. But I suspect it's some collection agency scam !!  They can change the "Caller ID" to whatever they want.

Someone keeps calling my house from this number - comes up US Government. Very scary.

recieve a call from female. she quitly hung-up on me sunday morning 10-23-11 10:54am.  Oh well. have a nice day whoever called. Happy Halloween.

713-791-1414 VA called me to remind me of appointment 3 days in a roll. Then the next day, the same day of the appointment they called 4 more times. hahaha this number has it's own web page

call from this number is random. every few months. just found out its va houston through comments thanx. no answer ever on other end. thought it was xwife bothering me

I never pick up unknown numbers. They didn't leave a message... I Googled it and it said it was the VA Hospital. Honestly, it freaked me out because I thought it was one of my family members. Thank God it wasn't. So thanks Mr. Stranger for scaring the living crap outta me right when I wake up in the morning. Way to start my day...

Who is this???????   Put em in jail...or maybe that's where they are calling from.   Stop already!!!

I got a call from this number while fishing, and I couldn't see who it was from, so I answered it on a whim. It really was the VA, calling to remind me of an appointment.

This is the Houston Veteran's Medical Center.  They call from this number to contact Vets, usually to remind you of an appointment (Which is my case).

1st call 2:40 am. It woke me up, caller I.D. was U.S. Gov. It went to the answering machine and was static followed by what sounded like someone pulling thier zipper up. Figured it was Security Guard that sat on thier phone. 2nd call was at 3:00 am. I answered it, It was a lady with a heavy Louisiana accent (drunk) asking for Joe. I said no, she hung up. Not even 5 minutes later she calls again. Now my wife & kids are awake. I asked her to stop calling that she woke the whole house. She apoligized and said she would stop. I am writing this because now I am wide awake and have to get up in 20 minutes.

Got a call, didn't answer it. 11:42 AM Tues.
Left no voicemail

Calls at 5:40 am on a Sunday morning and hung up

Lol, it's probably a girl calling to check on her boyfriends old phone numbers- that's what happened to me! lol

This number belongs to the VA Hospital on Holcombe in Houston.  Switchboard main line, hundreds of extensions.
