If you receive a call from a number that's been listed as fraudulent..?

Question

I didnt talk to anyone, but this number showed up twice. I did a search on google, and its been listed as fraudulent on several sites. Other people have gotten calls from this number. Its in New Jersey, and I dont even know anyone in New Jersey. At any rate, I changed all my passwords on accounts I have. I'm not aware of any fraudulent charges to my accounts at this time. I know that if they have your number, it also means they have your address as well, or at least have access to it. I asked around, and everyone says its nothing to worry about at this point as long as I dont actually talk to anyone on that number. Are there any other steps I should take? I tried the FTC and SS, but it sounds like you have to have a lot of info to report anything. All I know is the number and what city and state its in.

I really wasnt sure what category to put this under, so forgive me if its miscategorized.

It didnt come up a private, it says woodbridge NJ on my caller ID

Answer 1

Forget about it. They might have dialed your number randomly. You didn't give them any personal info, so you are safe. Check http://800notes.com for reports on this number to see what other people suggest. Other than that, "fraudulent" does not mean anything.

Answer 2

Sometimes numbers come up private... some unlisted numbers can't be found. It may be a telemarketer from somewhere like India. Did the search say fraudulent or it just couldn't be found.
I have had numbers come up as not found. Sometimes these numbers come up this way if they are like a second line and aren't listed in the phone book, which is basically how the listings are done.
