I just received one, and it sounds like it's another Dark Knight promotion. I couldn't make out a lot of it, but it started out as a Gotham City notice about a robbery, then it sounded like it devolved into something actually going on in the bank, including what sounds like a hostage being forced to read a statement, and then chaos. It was very hard to make out.
And, since I'm not homicidal or a zombie yet, I'm guessing it's not something deadly...as far as I can tell.

None of this is real, you're in the matrix. Those zeroes were code. I've seen that before, but never with a Batman gimmick.  Maybe the telemarketers are tracking you. |

I assumed that it was from the person to have a phone in America.

Yeah, I got one earlier and couldn't understand half of it because of my crappy service and started to freak out. Then I heard "Gotham City Bank" and hung up the phone.

"Yes, hello sir this is Kenneth from Gotham City Bank. Yeah just calling to let you know some lunatic has busted out of the asylum and emptied the vault and thus your account has been liquidated. What's that? Yes, sir again. Huh? I understand your concern sir but at this point there's honestly nothing we can do about it. You did get the signal light when you opened a chaecking account with us, right? Yeah, just aim it in the sky and this matter should resolve itself. Until then I advise you not to write any checks." |

I once got a call from 000-000-0000 twice. One was promoting a WWE PPV and the other was reminding to vote on election day.

Are these things that you put yourself up for or is it the case that a old lady is being scared thinking that her moneys been nicked?

Sadly no, not since Jim Gordon called me a few months ago.

At least you didn't get a text message from a serial killer named Dexter.

Yeah, I received two calls today.
I was in a meeting both times.
I checked my e-mail this morning, and last night I received FREE TICKETS TO SEE THE PREMIERE OF THE DARK KNIGHT from the Joker himself.
I was too late on redeeming though, as it was already sold out.
Damn.

The only calls I get from 000000000 are from Blockbuster when I have a movie late. They even are nice enough to call their employee's!

What did you guys do to get these calls?
Did you have to enter your numbers into a database? Or is it just random?
