I've been dealing with this bizarre situation for months now. My friends and I keep getting calls from a number that shows up as 'No Caller ID.' The strange part is, every time we answer, we just hear fart noises followed by some laughter before the call ends. I traced the calls back to the number (662) 255-3743, which I found out is usually linked to spam calls. While I'm not too worried about fart noises, it got me thinking. How exactly does this work? Is the number just a mask for the real one? Can we actually trace these prank calls? It's odd that someone would go to such lengths just to prank a small group of friends. I'd love to get any insight on this!

You know, prank calls like these usually come from scammers who can disable their outbound caller ID. That number you're seeing might actually be a US gateway from a call forwarding service that lets them call for very low costs from other countries. It's quite likely your carrier is the only one who could try to trace it, but they might hit a wall if it's just a proxy. My suggestion? Just block that number and don't let it get to you!
Yeah, blocking sounds good, but I can't help but wonder why they're targeting just your friend group. Seems like such a weird coincidence! Maybe they're just trying to be annoying, which they definitely are!
