Frequently Asked Questions

How did all of this come about?

One day back in the 1990s, growing up I started noticing 555 numbers being used as bogus forms of communication and on a whim decided if any were reused. Thus began my master list of writing down any and every fake number I ran across on television. I even recruited my family and friends to write down any they may encounter. Finally in 2007, I dropped what I was doing and put together the 555db. The rest is history.
