Received a call yesterday on my cell from 214-279-0990 - Texas area code - it went to voice mail - recording says you've won a vacation and to press '9' - apparently if you answer the phone and do that then they can route LD calls and you get billed for it - weird.
Typed the # into google and found a blog with tons of other ppl who have received calls too on their phones

I recieved 3 calls from these ******s. I stayed on the phone until a rep came on, and I requested they take me off of their list. |
