Re: CALL FROM P.I. WKG F/ GOVERNMENT-PLZ READ

And you can call 1411 (I think that's the number I use) to determine the name and address of the person(s) who the number belongs to, unless it was a cell phone call or a call placed from an extension (like a company with multiple lines). Just ask the operator for the name and/or address listed for the number you want to find out about.

Yep Yep Summer, I'd use the *67 code to block your number and see who answers (I think that's the right code). Or I'd have a friend use their cell phone (or I'd just use my own) since some people will not answer calls that don't appear on their caller I.D. (and some cell phones do not allow an I.D. to display).
My cell phone has the option of letting my number display on the I.D. of the persons I call. Regardless, the person you call, using a cell phone, can't get any info about you based on a cell phone number ( the 1411 operators cannot give anybody information about the user of a cell phone - not with existing technology as I understand it). Anyway that's how I handle these matters.
I used to be a medical practitioner and would not give out my home number since I was frequently on call, and would get very puzzling calls, and I.D. displays that I would need to check out (those calls coming through other than from the answering service who connects the caller with me).
By this I just mean to say that I wouldn't, while on call, answer the phone unless it was from the answering service. Too often I would receive calls from patients who were able to find my phone number. So that's how I know about some of these methods concerning anonymity. Anyway I think this nuisance call you got was a deception. No telling who is trying to find out what. Anyway, as wktpdr (above post) said "...There is a data privacy act which prohibits the distribution of some personal information!" For those who want to know more about this look up HIPPA (health care portability act, which is going to make confidentiality almost a 'sacred' thing). However the homeland security act is going to throw a lot of wrenches into the implementation of HIPPA protocols for all health care providers IMO.
Now assuming some government is indeed trying to discover facts, the worst that could happen to you is, I think, having to give your deposition, wherein lawyers would only find out that you have some kind of cognitive deficiency and thus your testimony is useless lol
Further, toward that end, if 'she' calls you again tell her you don't even remember talking to her before hehehe
