Phone numbers not always what they appear

The other day I was having lunch and I had call on my cell phone, it was a local number, I answered it and hung it up right away.

Since it was a local number I thought I would call it later. Before calling the number I did a search on the number. The search turned out to be a surprise. 206-660-6006 is registered to a caller from Arabia. Just because its a local number doesn’t mean it is!
