get calls saying to call 1-888-760-1382. they call from 1-888-760-1382 or from 213-261-0300 which are numbers for the same CMRE company. they keep leaving message asking for someone named Tony Jefferson. tried calling the 888 number but was on hold for 40 minutes before giving up. tried calling the 213 number and went straight through to a live person. told them that Tony Jefferson is not at my number, that don't know Tony Jefferson, and to not call my number again. hopefully that puts an end to these stupid calls.
Did you send it to them via certified US mail? If not, they will claim they never got it of course! Also send them a cease & desist letter (you can find a free template online) via certified US mail. Send them a certified copy of your card, not the real one. You can take it down and have it notarized, then send it via a certified US mail. That way they can't say they didn't get it.
