It's the "U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security".

got a call from this number and the guy says it was for a property in  Rosslyn. I never called the number, neither am I looking for property. Sounds like phishing. Don't trust this number

This was the U.S. State Department's security clearance team.  I had called with an issue earlier in the day and left a voicemail, and received a call from this number in return this evening.  They left a voicemail for me, so I know this was the State Department and I know this was legit.

Sure it was!!!  Sounds a little fishy to me.

It was a government agency - they called me at work (I'm in HR) and they just needed the payroll department to submit a wage garnishment form for an employee.  It's legit.

This number called me 12/02/2012 at 12:17am. Left a message saying " hello hello hello,hey it's mike,(said something I can't make out sounded like "eyebrow"lol)"uh just give me a call back i met u at work (i believe thats what he said),sorry u called when I was running out the house again I was trying to get settled at work ill be here till 6 in the morning ok god bless" he sound African American and young. Iv never called this # nor known any one that works at us dept of states building of Arlington. Call back and get the "welcome to audio please enter ur extension or press *4 for help" press *4 and days to enter extension then password! Wtf?!? This is sooo weird!!! How does anyone kno that this Is the dept of states building in Arlington? Creeping me out!!!!

Oh i forgot to add that they also left a letter off the end of my last name...they have my resume on file (supposedly), so wouldn't they have been able to get that right??

I got a call with an offer from an interview for the position of special agent with the diplomatic security agency. the woman i spoke introduced herself as Vicky M. LeMaster, the human resources manager for the dept of state. then i got an email with a form i have to fax them within 5 days with some pretty personal information on it, including my social security number. should i trust this?? anyone else get this?

This call was made at exactly 9:30:00 a.m. and left no message. Sort of like a computer dialed the call, right? It is probably a spoofed caller ID (Dept Of State) because the State Department is in Washington DC (area code 202), not in Arlington, VA (571). Note also the incorrect capitalization: I suspect the actual State Department would set up its caller ID with correct capitalization (Dept of State). Other callers report that the line is dead when answered; calling the number back probably only confirms that your number is valid, resulting in telemarketers and scammers calling you back from myriad other numbers. All this evidence points to this number being a spoofed caller ID that is part of a questionable telemarketing or scamming operation.

Look at it this way, it's your government in action.  They are trying to "serve" you, but you are too busy to take their calls.  But they do keep trying, see?  Unfortunately, they, too, are too busy to bother to leave their name or direct 'phone number.  Why, you might well have the unmitigated gall to call them back while they are busy trying to reach others they want to serve, too, or maybe even while they are trying to call you, you ingrate!  So, stand to attention and await a call from whomever, wherever, and be quick about it.  It is, after all, your government in action.  Trying to serve you.  Ingrate!

I got a missed call on 10/10/08. No message left. When I called back, I heard "Welcome to Audix".

This number makes me ho**y

We left a phone message for our special phone line on Wednesday with a government agency that has ties to the State Department. On Thursday morning that phone line rang. We answered. No answer on their end--just dead silence. We hung up. The line rang several more times over the course of the next 10 or so minutes. Each time the line would ring maybe three times then stop. We did pick up the phone once during all those rings, without saying anything, and once again there was dead silence on the other end. Bunch of creepy SOBs.

It is the switchboard number for the United States Department of State building in Arlington, Virginia. All numbers from State building calls use that number. Audix is the voice messaging system they use, but you can only reach a person if you have their extension number.

This is the state department building in arlington va. chances are you know someone who works there. i recieved a call from there with no voicemail, and through an investigation i found out that it was the state department building.

Same here... I receieved it as well.  anyone have any idea?

I got a missed call on 10/10/08. No message left. When I called back, I heard "Welcome to Audix". ???

I missed a few calls from this number. When I dialed it back I heard "Welcome to Audix". Who are they?
