I received calls from this number as well and other 888 numbers. This is a scam! I'm not sure how they get their numbers but they usually feed the caller (when they do respond) a bull shit story of ,"You've just won some prize," Or, "we are from a college that you filled out an application for and we need more info," these are lies to gwt you to hand over information that they can use or sell to people to use to take out credit cards in your name or other nefarious scams. My advice is to not answer any 888 numbers, never give out your infor in those situations or if it's a too good to be true prize you won. Also i think they way they get their numbers to harass is from online surveys and when you are offered prizes online. I saw a comment on here saying exactily what i have but the person gave them the info thinking they would receive a prize only later to find out it was a scam. You can block these calls with downloadible block apps but these only block their call and you still are aware every time they call. My suggestion is to do as i do and call your service provider and have them block the number, most block up to five numbers for free and you wont have the problems anymore from that number at least. Also file a complaint with the fcc or call your local police and make a report, it is harassment. These people most likely opperate out of the U.S. which is why if you're on the no call list they still call you but if enought people complain they will have to do something about it. Protect yourself from identity theft. Hope this helps.
