It came from 202-241-7158 according to caller ID. It was scary for a moment. Then I thought this must be a scam and checked out the number which proved it was.

It irritates me that nearly every day I'm called multiple times by scammy organizations. Being registered on the FTC do not call list doesn't seem to do much good anymore.
