My number was once listed as a small business. Numbers like these keep calling and not speaking to me once I answer "hello", and not a business answer.
They're pretty persistent. Tip: If you have AT&T Wireless, add the feature "Smart Limits for Wireless". For $4.99/mo , you can actually BLOCK up to 15 phone #'s from calling your cellphone, even if they use the same phone # and decide to get slick and mark it a private #, it won't fool the call block feature, but it will only work if they call from the same #. For your land line phone, contact your local phone company and add call blocking to your account. This should take care of it. Worked for me :-)
I just recieved a call form there and they told me that the 8,000 credit line they said I applied for had been approved and all I had to do to activate it was call a number. It's very wierd. I'd recommend not doing that.
They are calling TX, too. I get three calls every day on a cell number that is only 2 weeks old! I have registered with the Do Not Call list. In 31 days if they keep calling, I shall report the number to federal authorities.
