Time for you to sign up for whatever they are selling and not pay. The calls can't get any worse, and you might get personal attention. For a time, I had some collection agency calling me for a deadbeat with the same name but an address 20 miles away. They must have found me listed in the Chicago Metro directory. They wanted me to prove I wasn't the other guy! When they asked for my social security number, I got mad. I didn't hang up, I just told the guy to hang on as I had to take a shower and get dressed. When I got done, he had hung up. He didn't call again. File a complaint for harassing calls with your local law enforcement folks. Do you folks have the ability to block individual callers? Regards, Bob S.
