Any way to look up a number that has called you?

Could be debt collection.

Been getting odd calls on my phone and they aren't leaving messages. How do I find out who it is?

Maybe try answering the phone when they call?

Google

Truecaller worked. It's something called SSI.

I take their surveys too.

I give them bogus answers.

I think voter registration info is sold because I get DC calls of poli surveys all the time. Either that or NT effing with me.

there are really calls now that they ring cell numbers and hang up on the first ring. some kind of a scam if you call them back. you won a cruise/timeshare, or you won a zillion dollars and you need to send the tax money now. they were convicted with moneygram of actually sending out checks in snail mail for 2 grand and the check clears and bounces d a y s later. In the meantime you send then the tax money ahead via moneygram.

How does a number call you?

Rachel from Card Services.

If you are one of the legions of consumers who suffered through those annoying robocalls from “Rachel with Cardholder Services,” you could have money coming your way.

That’s right. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer watchdog, has reached a settlement with a collection of companies it says used that ploy. And now a special administrator is preparing to mail out checks to victims.

The total amount available to repay consumers is $700,000. The FTC says it is mailing out 16,590 checks this week. Each check will be for $42.95 and must be cashed within 60 days.

Here’s how the scheme worked: Robo-Rachel called you and claimed she could help with your credit card interest rate. If you asked to be connected with a real operator, the company then claimed it could get your credit card interest rate reduced for a fee. Credit companies are not supposed to guarantee you credit or a particular interest rate in exchange for an up front fee.
So… does this mean Rachel is dead and gone and you won’t be hearing from her again? Maybe. When a robocalling scheme works, other companies often copy it. In fact, after the FTC took its first action against “Rachel,” investigators were frustrated when the calls continued, likely placed by other sketchy companies.
