Check your phone bill when it comes through...I bet you have been charged a premium rate for calling them back..it happened to my wife 2 months ago.  should be shot at dawn.

As a rule, never call back an unrecognized number, especially a number left as a message on your answerphone. They will call back if it is important.  | |

Umm, seems to be a residential number. Maybe it should be removed from here? How would you guys like having your numbers posted on here  | |

oh well if thats the case can a mod please delete/modify. the person that answered to me sounded odd tho.
