Weird phone call from "A Concerned Citizen"

Nope, I think I'll check into it tough. I'm curious now.

area code 956 is a state of Texas telephone area code for numbers in the Brownsville, McAllen, Laredo and San Benito, Texas areas. It was created May 25, 1997, in a split from area code 210.

Counties Served by this area code:

Cameron, Hidalgo, Jim Hogg, La Salle, Starr, Webb, Willacy, and Zapata

Towns and cities served by this area code:

Alamo, Brownsville, Combes, Delmita, Donna, Edcouch, Edinburg, Elsa, Encinal, Falcon Heights, Garciasville, Grulla, Guerra, Hargill, Harlingen, Hidalgo, La Blanca, La Feria, La Joya, La Villa, Laredo, Lasara, Linn, Lopeno, Los Ebanos, Los Fresnos, Los Indios, Lozano, Lyford, McAllen, Mercedes, Mission, Olmito, Penitas, Pharr, Port Isabel, Port Mansfield, Progreso, Raymondville, Rio Grande City, Rio Hondo, Roma, Salineno, San Benito, San Isidro, San Juan, San Perlita, San Ygnacio, Santa Elena, Santa Maria, Santa Rosa, Sebastian, South Padre Island, Sullivan City, Weslaco, and Zapata

Well, that's about all I could get on it. I might try to call it later in the day to see if anyone answers.

Um, elections?

I don't think so. I called it and no one picked up. Some of the comments on 800notes and whocallsme said that they were calling at 3am, 2 am, 11pm, etc.

This person/people were calling THAT late at night/ Early in the morning? GEEZ!! Kinda strange, though, that no one answers the phone, when you call back.

They are probably sleeping if they are calling that late:) :roll:

send them a cease and desist letter

Try getting over 100 calls from 33 different 956 area code numbers... here's a post I left on another site about this same thing:

I work at a company in Arizona that has many different phone numbers we use in advertisments (82 of them) and I see the caller id for anyone who calls the ad numbers, not to mention answer the calls myself. The following numbers in the 956 area code have called these numbers in the past 3 months (goes back farther than that though.) It's always the same--call is about 2 sec long and ends immediately, no one there. Most of the calls come in the middle of the night and they call multiple times. Only this last time did it come up as 'A Concern Citizen' on caller id...

Here are the numbers (all 956 area)... 33 of them: 440-1214, 364-1217, the following start with 504-: 3016, 2753, 2651, 2563, 2561, 1851, 1439, 1318, 1309, 1097, 0778, 0569. Next are 541-: 1628, 1417, 0273, 0213, 1745, 1834, 1862, 2175, 3328, 4363, 4369, 7370, 7511, 8062, 8766. Then 542-: 2204, 4167. Next 544-:0113, 0381, 0435, 0541, 1163, 3289, 5551, 5890, 5941, 6759. There are 10 more, I'm just tired of typing.

I'm getting very sick of dealing with this every day as I have to go through all the calls and delete them from our system.

How does this stop, and when? Seriously.

It looks like it may be a political call . . .

Yeah, I think Goudah is right, it is campaign time!

Tell them that you'll give them something to be concerned about if they call you again!!

we got two this morning... one at 4am and one at 7am, both from 361.882.6690 and 6693... way too coincidental. last one said "A concerned cit"

i'm not saying this because i'm a republican,but it seems weird that these calls start now.in april the democratic candidates were really going at it strong,now that obama is assured the nomination the calls start up again.

I received one at work today. Went on line to see who they were. What I found is a lot of people that they have called. When someone would answer the phone the person who had called would not say anything. And like me when I called the number back, it just rang and rang. Did look the number up and it is a land line phone in Harlingen Texas..............
