Calls From 253-802-0308 in the United States

I have been plagued by this number.  Read more about others who have from this web page. What is interesting is this snippet in the page.

I have posted this before, so I will paste it here for others who may benefit. My husband and I both work in IT and Telecommunication. I researched the number and came up with the following. The company International Telecom has a service called Kallback.  It says it does the following:
1. Kallback lets you change your callback® phone number as you travel. Or you can pick a single, permanent location
Standard Trigger Numbers allow you to receive calls at a single, permanent location.
Traveler Trigger Numbers allow you to change your callback® location.
Personalized Trigger Numbers ask for you by name at a permanent location.
You can also trigger a call from the internet.

I also received a call from the number listed on this post.  The carrier for this number is  International Telcom, Ltd.

The thing with this service is that they can call you, but you can’t trace them.  These calls originate from outside the Continental U.S.  They do not come from Washington state.  They are like calling cards.  They show the trigger number, but not the number the call is actually coming from.  It is deceptive.  

I think the information is genuine, so perhaps it is time that International Telecom got shut down or at least stopped their system being used by scammers.
