Woman says telephone makes unsolicited calls According to the *Detroit News*, Becky Sivek doesn't even have long distance service. Nevertheless, "thousands" of long distance calls all over the USA are being made. The calls disconnect as soon as someone picks up. Some people are getting this same call dozens of times a day. Although Sivek isn't making the calls, and they don't appear on her bill, caller ID shows her number, meaning that she's now getting many angry and/or threatening calls from people demanding she stop harassing them. Phone phreaks, maybe? http://www.detnews.com/2002/metro/0201/18/d06d-393292.htm Carl Fink, I-Con's Science and Technology Programming http://www.iconsf.org/ [Carl Fink via risks-digest Volume 21, Issue 88] 0:00 # G!
