I always thought the "555" prefix was for phone numbers in TV & movies.  That's the only place I've heard it.

Sorry D_F, my bad.  I was putting 900 in front of it, though.

i tried that in several reverse lookups, and found nothing... probably a telemarketer...

check with your phone company about blocking calls...

It's a ficticious number. There is no "555" exchange. That's why you hear it in the movies and on TV all the time. It's a bogus number so you can't call them back.

I ran it through the data base here. Comes back to some holding company in Langly VA. Some guy named "Mr. Clark" answers.
