I get calls 10-20 times a day from an 866 number.?


When I answer they hang up. I called them back a few times, I believe it's a call center for a collection agency. I tell them to stop calling me (they ask for a name of someone I am not familiar with), since I get a different person each time I'm assuming this is a large place. I said I would report them, and was told, "go ahead and report us, we'll still keep calling and harassing you." This is after they admitted they have the wrong number, they have no business with me, and the number is dialed via a computer. My (cell) phone rings continuously while I'm at work or during dinner, I don't want to turn it off in case it's a legitimate call, I just ignore it, but it's harassment, I know it's illegal, what can I do? I registered with the do not call registry and filed a complaint online, and when I googled the number I saw I wasn't the only one they are doing this to.

there is an awesome website to enter the number into and find out who is calling you

whocalledus - you can even sign up (free) and enter numbers and what shows up on the caller id to help others as well I found it the other evening when I googled a number on my caller id

also you may want to go to donotcall.gov and register the number they are calling you at - if that doesn't work you can report them to the local attorney general because they are breaking the law

record it, post it online, and give them hell.

Or change your number and live in peace.

If it is a collection agency, the dishonest approach is ask for an address to which you can send a payment (just do not agree to send the payment) and then use it to send a letter telling them not to call.

The other approach is to get a phone of the kind that you can program to block calls from certain numbers that you select.

I worked with a call center & I'll advice u to stop all this call jst send them a legal notice through ur lawyer on the company name they are calling.Because If we mark the no. as wrong no. still it keeps on calling as the details are with the dialer.To stop all these calls u can only do two things 1) Change ur no. OR 2) Send them a notice.If u send them a notice then they will sized this no. & the dialer cant read the no. so u wont get the call.Bcze online request or sending jst a letter wont help u I knw this think very well only legal notice by the lawyer can help u.


add information:- I checked it with my seniors tht if there is a wrong no. then tht person can send a legal notice through the lawyer on the companies Fax no.(which u can ask the person who called u tht I want ur fax no. but dont tell them u need it to send a legal notice) which hardly cost u $200 not more then tht & they will give u a $1000 as a fine for harresment tht u faced by them. Hope u enjoy with tht money & dont forgot me.

you can always give a call to your phone provider to have them block that number or another thing what's fun:
buy a sports-horn (can of compressed air with a horn on top) and when they call TOOOOOTTT
They will not call back ;o)

If they do, your last step can be to go to the police and report them for harassing you, making you feel scared...
Good luck
