Well, <duh> I'm not calling it, but an FYI: there is a downside: 800
numbers display your phone number even if you block it from your side.
Something about them paying for the call. So if you do "fight back <duh>"

if they start calling you for real.
Must be a hot topic, yahoo found: 104,000 hits for 866-266-6600 I didn't
look any further to see who/if they were. Don't care. dr
