Where would be the best free place to find out who/what owns a skype  
number? The number 661-748-0240 has called my land line 4 times in the  
last couple days. Last night I got calls at 12:24am, 12:25am, and  
5:30am. I answered one of them & got silence for a couple seconds,  
then a dial tone. I’m a little irritated with who/whatever is bugging  
me for no apparent reason.

So my response to ab’s comment is…

Well obviously I was gonna check google. Just wondering if anyone  
in here had suggestions for sites, etc they have used that produced  
good results w/o having to try and sign up to some site for $50 a year  
or something to find the owner of a number.

Apparently that number is the ‘generic’ skype number outpulsed when a  
skype user has not set up their callerid info. Sounds like this is a  
growing problem, so I guess if it gets worse, I’ll just see if I can  
block that number.
