There was a time when, if you received a call from an unknown person, you could dial *69 and find out the number. You can still do that--sort of. But the new trick seems to be to say it so fast and in such an illogical manner than unless you can write it down in record speed, you won't know what it is. Of course you could try again when they repeat it. But they don't repeat it. Now why is that? Because they want you to pay an extra charge to have them connect you. Just another one of the many scams and deceptions that make up life in the 21st Century.
