I received a call from an 866 prefix phone number ... not the area code but 636 866 XXXX. In searching the web I learned that it is a toll free call from the caller and charged to the called phone #. Does anyone know what the deal is on these calls and is it a scam or possible fraud attempt?

I dunno but I get them all the time, sometimes 4-5 times a day. I'm on a biz rate though so it shouldn't be costing me anything. I assumed they were either a collection agency or a sales call. They never leave a message on my Sony secretary.

Isn't that just a regular Saint Charles area code and prefix??

According to the "City ID" app on my phone, yes, 636-866-xxxx is a St. Charles, MO phone prefix.

There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
