The one that was legitimate was an auto parts house that came up unknown. I asked the individual about it, and he said he would refer the question to their tech department.

We are now ignoring calls with*"unknown name" or "invalid name"* or "private" on caller ID. If you should call us during normal telephone hours, and get our recording, would suggest you check how your telephone is configured.

The Missouri State Lottery Commission will most likely try to call you next week to inform you that you have the winning number to a multi-million dollar prize, but the ticket will be void by Friday. Of course they use Unknown numbers to call prize winner to avoid too many unnecessary call backs.
