I am wondering if my cell phone list of names might have been hacked into and this is a way to get people to answer these "junk" calls. I did try calling back the number but got the message that is a non-working number.

The cell phone service is with ATT and the home phone is with Comcast.

Anyone hear of such a thing before?
I have not heard of anything such as what you have described.
Why don't you give Comcast and AT&T a call and tell them the scenario.
Perhaps they can give you some insight into what happened???
