Getting them on a cell phone. Nobody there when we answer. The Caller ID shows too many numbers. One of the recent ones, for instance, was 50255631462. Another one started 408.
It is a puzzlement.

Getting phone calls from strange numbers

It's coming from inside the house.
My work cell phone I pretty much answer any number... my personal cell phone, if I don't know the number you betta leave a message!
I used to get this a couple of years ago, as well as people with Indian accents telling me that my "prescriptions are ready and require payment so they can be shipped." When I tell them I haven't ordered any prescriptions, they would hang up. Thankfully, this stopped happening.
If you have a smartphone download whitepages id...shows you what calls fraud, scam, telemarketing...etc
The best thing about it is that you can block those numbers.

I was getting texts about 3 weeks back from numbers I didn't know. The number was changing each time, but the text was always something along the lines of "sexy", or "WRUD?"
I'm not sure what the scam is here... maybe they just look to see if you will respond first (which I didn't) and then the scam starts.

I think I didn't make myself clear. The caller ID shows numbers that can't be numbers; 11 digits instead of 10.
These are all coming to Mrs. LC's phone.
Just got one from 478 142-15. Answered it. Guy with a strong Middle Eastern accent. I asked him who he was. I couldn't understand what he said. It could have been "friend of jihad" but it more likely was "friend" of somebody whose name I couldn't understand.
A couple of minutes later got one from 502 478 142-15. Same guy. This time he hung up when I asked him who he was.
Unless the pool boy is using some kind of cloaking device to communicate with my wife, I have no idea what's happening here.

Yes they are. I don't answer any of them if I don't recognize the number. And they don't leave voice mails.
scammers....id stealers....wait until you get one from the "IRS" demanding you give them your bank account and routing number! 
Several political campaigns are having "Contact Parties". They invite supporters to a central location and ask them to bring their cell phones. Then they dial from a list and contact potential voters/caucus goers with a loose script. If you live in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina you may have experienced such calls, if not you soon will if you have ever voted in a primary or participated in a caucus.
I heard a story on NPR a few weeks ago about activists and pollsters setting up hot spots in a one mile radius around rallies, and they'd scoop up numbers and contacts for later fund raising and poll taking attempts.
Most likely because the OP is elderly he doesnt know about voicemail.
Sorry, man, your wife's having an affair. You weren't supposed to answer her phone.
Amazes me how scared so many of you are of answering the phone and want it to go to voicemail.
Are you afraid they will convince you to buy something?

ive been getting a lot of political calls on my cell phone lately. those numbers get immediately blocked (along with the numbers from calls I get that don't leave a message). I can't wait for these domestic terrorists known as politicians to be done infesting this state.
