888-218-5094

I didn't recognize the number so I didn't answer the call.

so how do you know it wasn't for you?  i answered on a line that belonged to my failed business.  the caller asked for me but not in the version of my name that i go by.  i told she had the wrong number and she kept calling back.  could have been an old customer, tho!
So, between these two postings, we really don't know if the number belongs to anyone we know!

I have received several calls from this number lately and a few times I answered but no one was there.  This is frustrating and I wish they would stop.  I have put a block on the "Unknown" calls so now the number shows but it says Caller Unknown.  I have also listed my number on the "Do Not Call List" but this will not stop charities, political parties, or basically anyone looking for a donation.

Got two calls, one right after the other, on a Saturday afternoon. Don't usually answer calls I don't recognize, even on a "free" day. Doubt it's a legit call, esp. 888 AC. Put the number in google to see if it's a scam and found this website ... good idea for tracking these jerks.

it's a number used by people dialing long distance via a pre-paid calling card.

This call is from a GISOL.COM (Global Internet Solutions).  They are a web hosting company that is highly corrupt.  They are probably calling to scam you, especially if they are already providing you with web hosting service. Google "gisol.com" to learn more.   If you are involved with GISOL in any way, you should cancel all service and report any poor behavior to the BBB.

just got a call saying she was a cousin and another cousin is in the hospital

This is a calling card number that belongs to a woman named cindy in PA

Just got a call from the number.

The funny thing about it is, immediately after I got the call, I got a second one. On my cell phone.

I think I'm legitimately confused.

Have received several calls from this # but didn't answer since # was not recognized, calls made anywhere from 9pm to 2am. Called back once and "Marion" answered

Call was from my Mom. Seems when she calls, she has an odd number every time she calls out of state. Will try to update if the number rotates.

This is actually a phone number that is a "path" for making long distance calls with a pre-paid plan from Verizon. This is news to me that this service exists. The guy who called me from it says that Verizon doesn't tell you your number will come up this way. Same thing happens when you call from a calling card. It could be any crazy number and it changes every time (I used to make business calls using calling cards.)

This is good evidence that you DO know the caller and that they are using a service with a phone company (probably Verizon) that uses this particular avenue to place the call. The caller very likely has no idea that their number is coming up this way. It is a pre=paid long-distance program where you pay and it never expires and you can dial normally from your phone instead of messing with a calling card.

This is the number that shows up on a person's caller id whenever we call long distance from our unlisted home number. We've complained to our local phone comany and Verizon, but no resolution yet.
