Did not leave message.

Called our unlisted third line directly, at our office.  Recording of a female voice saying "that is not a valid entry".

Thanks for the information, mf (22 Jan 09). It is helpful to know who is behind at least some of these.

The call was dropped when my answering service picked up. It may have been a phone bank or a spam fax call.

Denton, and areas near Denton and Dallas, harbor a nest of spam FAX operations. The Attorney General should take notice of this, it is a very pronounced, and apparently localized problem. This is the only area (but not the only area code - 817 is involved too) which originates such problem calls to my telephone numbers.

It may be associated with reported illegal phone banking out of the same area, though that connection is inferential, and I have no direct evidence of that.

This number, and a string of other 940 and 817 numbers, has called our business 800 numbers multiple times.  No fax (though, sounds like a fax tone), no one on the phone, no way to look them up or ask them to stop calling.  Filing a Junk Fax 1088 Form with the FCC, recommend you do so as well, or you can fill out a Do Not Call Complaint with the FTC if you're not a business.  The more people who report this, the louder we are, the faster we get the FCC's attention, the more likely they do something about it.

Same thing....Fax tone or "Invalid Entry" if I pick up

I have been getting harrassing calls from this number for months.  I get calls too early in the morning to be at all humerous.  This has got to stop and I am about ready to file a complaint with the FCC.
