All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".

Just the one time on this occasion: 2008-04-23 16:00h ET.
Skype'd 1-800-882-4184 and gave the operator a piece of my mind. I plan to send them a C&D letter by registered mail shortly.
Well, well, well... another Saturday and another 4 calls in-a-row with 8 seconds in between, with the first 3 coming from "90754". Unlike the last time (on 2008-03-15) the 4th CID number was not blocked - it came from 1-800-882-4184 (StarTec Communications - whocalled.us) just 8 seconds after the 3rd call, just like last time: 2008-04-12 10:24:02, 2008-04-12 10:24:10, 2008-04-12 10:24:18 and 2008-04-12 10:24:26 (toll-free number was auto-fwd'ed to voicemail, but no message left, just like all the other calls from StarTec). See also whocalled.us (more CID number weirdness) and whocalled.us
Back to repeatedly calling at 8 and 9 second intervals: 2008-03-15 11:10:21, 2008-03-15 11:10:30, 2008-03-15 11:10:38, 2008-03-15 11:10:46 ET. What's very interesting is that the first 3 attempts were from "90754" and the 4th (last) attempt was from a blocked number (just 8 seconds after the third attempt - it has to be them). My VoIP blocks calls from unknown/blocked numbers. Sounds like a telejunker is desperately trying to get through. No matter, my VoIP will keep auto-forwarding these spamtards to an out-of-service number.
Inconsistency: only called once, instead of trying multiple times - 2008-02-28 ~15:55 ET.
6 months on, these wuckfits are still periodically trying to get through - they are on perma-ban in my VoIP block list (auto-fwd'ed to an OOS number). Does not call as frequent as whocalled.us but I suspect it's the same perps, as they try 2-3 times in the space of a minute (just like the inbreds at 90560): 2008-01-22 11:01:34 and 2008-01-22 11:02:03 ET.
Yep, a 5-digit CID *REALLY* makes me want to pick up the phone. These idiots blatantly fake their CID and call 1-2 times each month. Also get calls from "90560", which are probably the same perps.
