| Prank call from 213-286-4199
So some idiot calls and I get the sales call. The guy was on some kind of speaker phone or something and then he starts asking me about cars that transform. So right away I'm pretty sure this is a prank call. While he was asking me a bunch of weird questions I could barely hear, I googled the # and came up with a bunch of people saying they say rude things or ask a bunch of dumb questions and basically waste your time. So knowing this, I decided to mess around with him for a bit saying,
Me: YES! we have cars that transform
idiot: OH which is your newest car with transforming doors?
Me: Honda Odyssey
idiot: How much is that? Like 100 grand?
Me: For you, Only 33,000
idiot: Can I pay in yen?
Me: Canadian
idiot: but Honda is japanese! You guys love Yen
Me: Not here but you can get it exchanged no problem
idiot: Ok Im coming down there right now!
Me: Ask for Jeff, I won't be here
idiot: ok Thanks Jeff, I'll see you soon
End
His name is Oliver apparently but he sounded like he wasn't all there...

It's just what shows up on the caller id.

Ahahhaha http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-213-286-4199 Quote:
Started receiving calls from this number 1 213 286 4199 and 1 213 325 3300 approx. 6pm April 23rd. The caller uses SKYPE to call 800 numbers and makes prank calls. 112 direct calls in 3 hours. The caller left multiple messages, one of which provided a Connecticut landline number if we wanted to call back. The caller gave the name of a teenage boy "Gary" who lives there. The local police department was kind enough to investigate and spoke with Gary, who actually does live there. Gary was confronted by the police and provided names of a local boy who is using SKYPE to harass 800 #'s. The office thinks that an arrest is imminent. However, that only solves one of the cases. This boys arrest doesn't mean that calls from this #, or others, will stop. Hopefully, your prankster turns out to be as much of an idiot as our was...Good luck!

It's just a bunch of bored kids from all over the place, and they have discovered prank calling using VOIP. The phone number appears to be a Skype or Goog411 number.
