...and you don't suppose that's really the person and he was lame enough
to register a site publicly with his real name, address and phone number
on it, would he? If it is, anybody in New York care to call this
California area code to let him the the cops are on the way?...

+1-209      California, US
              Created on Jan 1 1958 
This code is currently in use for geographic numbering. Major Cities (by
population): Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Merced, Lodi, Turlock, Tracy,
Manteca, Ceres, Atwater

..Oh, and the 95301 Zip code is also the proper zip for Atwater, CA.

Cheers,

Chris
