I had that for a couple of weeks on my cell probably every other day,

their caller ID from me.  It eventually worked, or they decided I
wasn't interested.....
I've been getting it on multiple lines in varous area codes incessantly for a few weeks. About 80% of the time, the IVR selection to speak to an agent leads to a hangup. The caller ID numbers belong to real hapless victims, and the caller rotates them.

It's getting to the point where I'm considering putting a CAPTCHA mechanism on the PBX for accepting calls with unrecognized caller ID.

Googling reveals that many people are getting these calls.

If you can really identify the caller, I'd like more info. I'm getting them mostly through Voicepulse and Vitelity via IAX and SIP, but I've also gotten them on my cell and through a client DID on a T1. I don't know how to trace the origin.
