Good advice. However, I received those robo calls prior to when I ever created a twitter account and I really am not heavily involved in social networking. I didn't use my first or full name. Remember that most of those robocalls are simply that they take blocks of phone numbers and their software either randomizes the phone numbers which are automatically dialed or they dial them in sequence. When I've received those calls, they also have never addressed me by my name nor asked for me by name.
