I've never seen this before but, personally I wouldn't call random numbers.

Yeah, to be honest itd be a bit paranoid. If you called it, now they have a number associated with the address.

I mean, it was out of service, so if this is some kind of mastermind... they probably aren't...

(Also, pro-tip: if you want to call a number without leaving a trace, just use a new Google Voice number.)

(Also, pro-tip: I doubt anybody does clever identity theft heists by writing phone numbers with sharpies on fences.)

Its not very hard to lookup a random address and find who lives there, their phone number, email address and known associates.

Does *67 still actually do anything? That’s what I’d use if I was calling a random number, but I’m old.
