This same thing happened to me a few years back when a company (I don’t remember who now) kept calling me on my cell phone over and over again trying to collect an unpaid bill that I had nothing to do with. They kept asking for a “John Somebody” who I had never heard of. This went on for nearly two months. I called their 800 number twice and asked them to quit calling me which they assured me they would but the robo calls kept coming, the last one warned that they would shut off my cell phone if I didn’t pay up (they had nothing to do with my phone service). Sure enough, the next day my phone shut down and I took it to Verizon to ask how this could happen and they had no idea how my phone was shut down. Verizon gave me a new phone and number and I no more problems. I got no money out of though like this guy did.
My home phone is pestering from a call from “Hello, this is Rachael from Credit Card Services. There is nothing wrong with your credit card, however . . . . yada yada.” I normally hung up on them. Then one day I stayed on the line till this guy came on. I told him I was stick and tired of getting calls from them and wanted them to stop. He hung up on me. The calls continued. But now the calls are no longer on my home phone and somehow the are now pestering me on my cell phone. Same ole Rachael and same pestering calls.
