I'm just puzzled, why would "guest" accounts be asking for phone numbers to be blocked? Isn't that for customers?

Hopefully just a customer that hasn't bothered to log in to their Sonic account before posting. I always log in before posting anything.

Thank you for reporting the above number! All the sources I can consult show it as being used by a credit/financial scammer.

caller-ID showed 486-650-5819 --- apparently not a real number.
" area code +1 486 is not currently assigned to any region."
Caught napping, I carelessly picked up.
Heard: silence, then heard a phone ring, and someone with a thick (India? Pakistani?) accent said something garbled followed by howareyoutoday.
I hung up.
*69 doesn't call back, just gets "cannot be completed as dialed

PS for Sonic --
perhaps block all calls that claim to be from an area code that is not currently assigned to anywhere on Earth?
That will prevent the aliens from Arcturus from reaching us, of course ....

Silent call from "6-650-5819" -- I didn't stay on the line long enough to see if it did eventually get a human being to try to sell me something.
Caller ID shows as "unavailable"
I'm guessing the same people who called a couple of days ago with the fake area code number. The last 7 digits match.
Can they get past Sonic's screening if they just lose digits off the beginning of what should be an area code?

I'm being barraged by calls from 800-466-4427, IDed just as TOLL FREE CALL. Some online notes link it with some political campaign in Wisconsin. (Go figure.) Please consider blocking.
It would be lovely to have an option on the member tools page to block 8** and 9** calls.
