I meant to add. Many of those services that use these 800's numbers appear
to be using "boiler rooms" from which multiple numbers are dialed
simulatanously. You will often pick up and hear nothing since another line
answered first and that "child of God" spilled his/her spam on that
unfortunate person before he got your call. Call backs to these
numbers often go to a non-working number or to a line that says it cannot
accept incoming calls. How about that?

You can find out about a lot of this by reading the comments people post at
"whocalled.us" and at "800notes.com". A couple of weeks back, for example, I
got a call from "123-456-7890" according to the caller id. Sheesh!

YMMV
