This is actually some local switchboard that re-routes international calls.  I get calls from a friend who is in South Africa right now and it shows up on the call display as a local call from 480-9170.

So the number itself is harmless, however, people calling through it might not be.

Called without asking for anybody in particular or identifying himself.  Then the idiot tried to offer me lower long distance rates.  It seems like the only people who call my landline are trying to scam me.  I might as well just get rid of the damn thing and use my cell.

Yeah i got a call last night from this number telling me i had credit card problems and do i need a lower interest rate, when i started asking him questions about where he was calling from or where he got my number he started nervously laughing and tried to get me off the phone immediatly.

it's a scam
