This is a bit weird, occasionally I have telemarketers bothering me, but why would I get a phone call from Europe's "Emergency Number 112"?
is it possible that somebody living in the states could spoof this number? that's equivalent to getting a direct call from 911.

well seeing as I'm paranoid, and dodging bail, I did not answer the phone lmao, but if it was the cops it would show up as 911, or the local sheriff department phone number.

nope, never been there. had to have been a prank caller or "phone phreak" spoofing the number. I wonder how they did it.
