This place keeps calling my phone and I have had the same number for years. All the sudden they mistakedly call a number looking for someone else stating that they can't take my number off the list... what a crock of BS!!! They are a collection agency and don't check the numbers that they are given or are calling just harrass and continuously call regardless of what you tell them or say to them. HOW do these people get our phone numbers??? I don't get this at all or the right that they feel they have to harrass anyone at anytime.

There are several possibilities: None of which will help you stop them; the first is they got your number off a phone list they bought, second they misdialed but now that you've answered they know you're an active number, third if they are in fact a collection agency, they too got your number from a purchased phone list (these people are unscrupulous) or they bought an old bad debt list and again either got your number wrong or you at one time failed to pay a bill on time and even if you've taken care of it, that showed up on a slow/no pay list and these people are out to collect whether you owe it or not. I had one of these agencies calling me numerous times a day for weeks before they finally gave up. My advice to ANY and EVERY ONE is get caller ID and then only answer calls with numbers you know (do NOT be tempted to answer and give them a piece of your mind, that only justifies their calling you more frequently). Anything else, ignore, ignore, ignore!!!!!
A quick search of the number came up with this:

Apparently it is a collection agency. Again, DO NOT TALK TO THEM. If you honestly owe money, a legitimate (albeit obnoxious) agency will also send a letter.
Just received a call about a ticket that I supposedly got in 1994. Um, no. Tell me what it was for. There was no information. Funny and nice try. I've never gotten a ticket for anything in my life!
