760-705-8888 is the Google Chat number

I signed up for Google Chat this weekend and gave it a try as a substitute for Skype to call my cousin in Barcelona.  Couldn't get the video part to work right, but the audio was excellent.  The number that displays on the recipient's phone is 760-705-8888.  I found a discussion of the reasons for this (and some pros and cons) at this link.

    This guy is actually affiliated with this number 347-727-9566, he is located in bothel,wa. He sells electronic devices and claims he wanted to purchase me laptop. We simultaneously calling me on 760-705-8888 and 347-727-9566, he had a hard accent to hear so I hung up and text him telling him that I knew who he is. Here is his youtube account http://www.youtube.com/jsingh0605 and has been seen selling Iphones on Seattle Craigslist, stop this man from making prank calls!

    anon, as the link in the post indicates, the 760=705-8888 number can be associated with ANYONE, not necessarily the guy you encountered.
