Just received a call from 949 503 8859. Computerized (but good approximation of human) voice saying hello, I can't hear you. are you there? repeatedly.
Got a text from (949) 414-4160 from a Marissa from ADS (don't know what that is?) asking if they could leave a delivery on our front porch. She put my address in her text. When I got home there wasn't anything on the porch. Tried to look up the phone number and it's untraceable (I have reverse phone number lookup programs at work). I called the number and it went to a generic voicemail. I'm a bit concerned. Anyone have ideas or had this experience?
