 		[SPEC] Sandoval Engineering
I randomly called the number that was used for the Evelyn Minker memorial fund and it now goes to some company called Sandoval Engineering. At first I thought it was OG but I googled and I can't find one mention of Sandoval Engineering anywhere. Does anyone think this may be IG?

1800-708-2151 Is the number.

 		What did the message say exactly? Can't call it as at work.

 		new game
It's also possible that the number is being used for an upcoming ARG done by the same group of people. I would find it cheesy if they used the same number for the same game... unless it was that company that organized the memorial.

Also it says "thank you for calling Sanderoval Engineering if you know your party ext. you may enter it at anytime. For Sanforn (sp?) Sanderoval, President, press 1. For Samuel Sanderoval, VP engineerning and operations press 2... For HR press 3, for emergency services press 4...etc."

 		I call and asked for minker and it said no listing. i then asked for Leyda Cupe. It went to Samuel Bradley. I left a message to call me if the number is real and apologized for the inconvenience. So far no one has called me back.

 		Really thinking it is there bad luck to get the Number, Company and Owners and non 800 phones seem to be well OOG.

I am thinking it is a Smaller company trying to look large. hence the Voicemail Routing system and no operator. Family run business leveraging Technology

Main Company Phone appears to go a Personal VM (cell Phone?) of the owner.

Thinking OOG again.

 		OOG
I'm gonna go with my gut and say that the 800 number is no longer In-Game and that the number is recycled and was picked up by the REAL WORLD Sandoval Company.
Whois says registered 2007, and the about page has extensive info on Sambran Sandoval and Samuel J. Sandoval.

Definitely OOG.

 		Definitely OOG, I talked with grouchy old Sam, he seemed to be annoyed with the calls. Apologized and hung up.

That's so dumb. Why would they give the phone number away to a real business?

 		There's a finite number of 800 phone numbers available. The PMs must have released the 800 number and the phone company recycled it right away.

Especially while the ARG is still going on.

 		http://sandovalengineering.com/index.htm For those interested here is the link to their website. It's interesting that they are all about microwave towers and communication. What are the chances that a tech company would take over the phone number? Not to mention that Sarah worked for a petroleum company. Too coincidental..... Catfight!
