Phone Kept Ringing

[st11x]

G'day,

It started yesterday afternoon. Once every 20 minutes or so, the phone rings and if you answer it, there is no one on the line except for a beeping tone, like some auto dialing machine. I don't have caller ID so I don't know where it is coming from.

Had to unplug the phone to have some peace. I'm in the CM area, any one experiencing the same nuisance calls?

Either its a debt collector or someone who you crossed recently.

It is dead easy to setup a PC/modem to do that.

There was a similar post to this a couple months back on TV .... dont recall the details other than it was thought to be some sort of scam.

More than likely it’s someone trying to send you a Fax – is the sound really “beep – beep – beep” or a more continuous but varying tonal screech?

Probably just a wrong number originating from an automated Facsimile sender.

It's a beep followed by a pause of say 2 seconds, then beep again.

I read about that scam thing too, and immediately I thought it could be that. Don't know how to make it go away though. I'll see if by unplugging that will send a signal to the the "algorithm" to stop.
