(608) 371-6666

It's not a scam. It's nomorobo. When a live caller enters the random number that nomorobo requires, the call goes through. It comes to you as this 608 number. Look for the number that called just prior to this call in order to block it,

spam

I received a call from this number at 11:13 am on Aug 27th, 2017 When i demanded to know who they were, the woman got testy and told me I should beware as she had my address and phone number. When I asked if she planned to find me and kill me, she disconnected. Lovely.

called and stated for me to log in the number that called before they did in order to put a stop to their calls.
The previous number was 202-838-6547. The lady informed me that I was the recipient of a $10,000 Government Pell grant. I told them to mail me the check to my home and thanked them

STOP CALLING MY NUMBER

Called 3 days in a row after first using 800-290-6106 number. Immediate ring afterwards using the 608 number

Just log-into your landline account and add the number to the block list. You good to go after that.

As someone mentioned below, this is actually the number that shows up when someone manually bypasses the NoMoRobo call-blocking service. If you are seeing this number and you use the NoMoRobo service, this is why. Your phone probably rang once a few seconds earlier, then rang again with this number on Caller ID.

If you do not use the NoMoRobo service, you should probably contact them to find out why their bypass phone number is sending calls to you.

I am not affiliated with NoMoRobo other than as a user of their service.

No message. Blocked afterwards.

Everybody knows "Do Not Call" does NOT Work. Try "No More Robot Calls" @ WWW.nomorobo.com. It's a no fee service (for VoiP land lines), eliminated 95 % of my Spam. Check the site . . . it explains how it works and it costs nothing (for land lines) ! [And No, I don't have stock in the company, but I wish I did!]

This guy said he was from My Heritage.com, and they are having a bonus sale. I said no thanks.

They now say they are Geisinger Medical

Why Am I Getting Calls From 608-371-6666? Because its a robo-call blocking service!
Here's why you're getting calls from 608-371-6666:

To ensure that we don't block important calls made by humans, when a suspected robocaller calls you, we answer the call and plays a message to them.
If the caller successfully enters the random number (technically called a CAPTCHA), we send the call back to you but we change the Caller id to 608-371-6666. If we didn't do this, the call would get caught in an endless loop.
Here's an example.
Let's say that Shady Charity, Inc is making some calls to ask for donations. Their phone number is 800-555-0100 and, of course, it's blacklisted. When they call, they'll hear the message asking them to type in a random number but, since they have live people making the calls, they're able to get through, heres how:
You'll first get a call from 800-555-0100 and then it will stop after one ring (because we answered it). After a slight delay (while the worker types the random number) you'll get another call (it'll be the same Shady Charity worker) but this time, the Caller ID will show as 608-371-6666.
