A woman asked to speak to me by name but when I asked who was calling she said only, Harris and Harris. When I informed her no message would be passed to the individual she was calling unless she explained what kind of organization H&H is, she refused to tell me because it was none of my business unless I was the person she was calling for. I informed her that as long as she is calling MY home, I made the rules and that no information would be passed to anyone unless I knew who was calling. She got angry and said she'd call back and hung up.
I hate this crap. Who are these people to call my home repeatedly and then get all cryptic. If they call again I'm blocking the number. Creeps!
My calls started yesterday and continued today - three calls in all to my cell. I, too, don't answer calls from numbers I'm not familiar with. Don't owe any money to anyone so have no idea why they're calling. I wish this would stop as well. World is getting a bit too messed up.
Keep getting automated phone calls from this number 312-423-7537. They call my house every single day. The caller Id read ash law firm. When I call the number back another machine answers and states they are attempting to collect a dept for a traffic ticket, missed toll, or parking tickets. FUNNY THING IS I DON'T OWN A CAR, And I DONT DRIVE.
How does one block a number? They call daily. I don't answer it, of course, but I would like them to stop calling. I am on the DNC registry. I am glad for others' reporting what the nature of the call from this number might be. Since it would be so easy to find them - for the correct agency - why aren't they fined or prosecuted for harrassment? It would give scammers pause before dialing.
Here is the information on how to get a call-blocker- see my post on whocallsme under 3059182338.
Also, I found a post from someone on whocallsme that might interest you and give you peace of mind. They compiled everything they could find about these dodgy debt collectors, including how government agencies handle complaints, what your rights are and how to defend yourself.
