Lemming Tracks: 000 "Sorry, Wrong Number"

The Lemming's household got a phone call from a 000-000-something number. I picked up - got a very quickly spoken "sorry wrong number" from a woman's voice, and the line went dead. The speed with which the voice came on, and then hung up - noiselessly - made me suspect that it's a variation on robocalls.

Checking online, I found the usual 'CIA conspiracy' stuff.

Also this interesting tidbit:

"[Phish] 000-000-1111
Broadband DSLReports.com (October 17, 2010)

"Hi:

I have been getting calls from 000-000-1111. A female voice says "Sorry Wrong Number" and the call is terminated.

After a lot of searching I found this:

"Whois Output for: infolietuva.net

As I said, interesting.

My own guess, for what it's worth, is that these 000 calls are being done automatically by someone with flexible ethics, and the hope of selling a list of working telephone numbers to some equally dubious outfit.

If this is so, we can expect quite a few spam telephone calls in the near future. 'Do not call' lists or no.
