On Caller ID

I got a call today from a number in the 789 area code. I ignored it because unknown numbers are usually cold calls or recordings, and I wasn't interested in learning anything new. But I was curious.

So I looked up the 789 area code to see where the caller might be dialing from - that's usually interesting and I can sometimes guess what comany it might have been. Not this time. See - the 789 area code isn't used. Anyone with some skillz and access to a PRI can change what is shown on the caller ID display. My question now is why they were calling me and what the scam was. There is no way I can tell who it was or call them back. The only thing I'll do now is post the number:

789-999-6966
