Quick Tip on Phone Spam

Yesterday somebody called me from 179-336-0280. The caller ID didn’t indicate where they were calling from (and you know how I feel when scary states call). Having no idea where the 179 area code was, I did a quick Google search for the number. As it turns out, it’s apparently associated (check the comment thread) with an Indian call centre selling security systems and other crap. So, apparently you should be wary of numbers beginning in 179.
