213-537-1000

Called my personal line. Gave them as many "No" or "not saying" answers as I reasonably could. Of course, there is little I can do about it as they are outside Europe. The missing country code on the caller ID was typical of these calls. Called at 18:44 UTC. They're going on the redlist!

numrerous calls from this pest to my home phone UK. no answer when picked up either

Had 2 of these calls in last few weeks - both times they hang up on me.

I have been called by this number several times a day recently - no one speaks.  I have called the number back - no-one speaks and I don't know if I have been charged for the call.  April 2010

Around 3:30pm UK time I missed a call from 00 213 537 1000.
No message.
Either this is Algeria - country code 213
or "Downtown" Los Angeles area code 213

This is the first time an overseas number has shown up on 1471.

Had several missed calls from this number over the last week- also when I have answered they have hung up. They are calling me from LA to the UK. Can I just ask the other UK posters here if anybody who has received these calls actually knows anybody in LA where they might have gotten your number from? I do know somebody in Cali but not in LA- although I have a theory as to what might be happening.

Have had several calls from that number over the last 2 weeks or so.
As soon as I take the call, they hang up.

The odd thing is that the number has varying numbers of '0' on the front, according to the CLI of my Panasonic cordless handset:

02135371000
0002135371000
002135371000
00002135371000

anyone any clues? I am being called up to 3 times a day for the last three days 2135371000 its driving me nuts

Picked up and they said they were calling for a quick survey - they knew my name!

I asked how they got my number and they said it was from an internet site. I said i was part of the TPS and they immediately hung up.

Anyone? This has been happening to me too. Its very bizarre. As someone above has mentioned, its either Algeria or South Central LA. I dont know what is more disconcerting, an Al Qaida operative calling more, or a gangster from Compton.

Help!
