Possible scam. Beware
Complaint
Kimberlin Lonsky
Country: United States
Unknown caller called with a pre-recorded message from 44-208-831-2488 (or 442088312488). He offered to lower our interest rate on our credit cards. The message says to hit 1 to talk to a live person or 2 to be removed. The removal doesn't work. I pressed 2 to be removed the very first time they called but they continue to call.
The calls seem to originate in UK, but these days you never know. In any case, beware! They might be phishing for credit card information.

They offer free VoIP service.
They let you make PC-to-phone free international calls. These calls usually cannot exceed 20 minutes.
So maybe your boyfriend or an idiot is messing with your brain.
