I found out today that my phone may be tapped.  I can call out but am having difficulty with incoming calls.  If I can answer a phone call within a second or two of the phone ringing, I am able to connect with the person on the other line.  However, after a few seconds, if I do not answer the phone, the line clicks dead and is followed by white noise.  I called the phone company and they think the line has been tapped.

This afternoon, we noticed that calls were coming in and the caller would seem to hang up after a few seconds.  If this happened once or twice, this would not raise suspicion. However, when it happens 10-12 times in short succession, something is going on.

I had a friend over tonight who is an IT professional. He said a friend of his in Atlanta had the same thing happen to him on Friday.  It also happened at his work.  He believes that it may be the work of hackers trying to tap his computer.

I do not know what is happening exactly, and am having a repairman come out to check everything on Sunday or Monday, but I wanted to give everyone a head's up and be aware of what is going on.
