Got a call from +593 99 589 5834 today. But, I have no idea what it is. They called, I picked up and it hung up quickly. So I called back and it sounds like a man with a thick accent and an American woman speaking about something…I haven’t the slightest clue what they’re talking about but I’m going to guess it’s something racy.
So, I called back and it was the same voices again, saying the same prompts! So it's a recording. Can anyone tell me what this number could possibly be used for? It's a number from Ecuador, which strange because I live in the US and never receive calls from foreign area codes.
Just tried calling it a minute ago, but it was unavailable. I tried to conference in my Asterisk server so that I could record it but my cell phone wouldn’t allow me to do that for some reason (probably has something to do with it being a number from a different country). Guess I’ll try again tomorrow.
From Ecuador. Some International numbers if you dial, the phone company of the foreign country bills $10-$20 per minute (les or more) . The scammer and the corrupt foreign phone company split the loot.
@drwat#86363 Interesting. So, you think this may be a scheme to keep people on for as long as possible so they can trick people into thinking they are listening to a private conversation thus racking their phone bill profits up? I never thought of that, but nothing surprises me when it comes to desperate people looking for desperate ways to make money.
