It might just be telemarketing.
Where you have companies set up for telemarketing, they don't dial in each individual number, a computer tends to dial several numbers at once and when you answer this then connects you to a free operator.
These numbers usually only display as a private number and you can spot them easily as when you answer and, as usual, say," Hello." there's a lag of a couple of seconds before someone comes on the line.
I suspect this might be the same thing. The lag gives you the chance to just hang up or stay on to abuse the person on the other end if that's your thing.
I got a call and the caller ID came up as 8888 8888...
I dont suppose you are in arrears on a load, CC etc,
I know that the dialers in some credit call centers can dial several numbers at a time and put the first to answer on to the operator
I got a call this evening from 00123456789. There was no-one on the line when I answered. I was going to ring back but decided not to, as I reckoned that it was an international number that would have cost me a fortune.
