I'm thinking a programmable call blocker might help. Or you can see if *60 is available from your local phone company. http://800notes.com/nb/search?q=call+blockers
Someone keeps calling from this number, 312-508-5998, throughout the day on my business line. No message is left as to what the caller needs. Extremely aggravating as my business line is used when presenting and every time the person calls, the beep interrupts my line and I am unable to hear questions and conversations from the discussions lead.

If the previous poster is correct, this is a criminal enterprise operating as a debt collector. They have been known to do stuff like this. Sending them a certified, return receipt cease and desist calling letter as well as reporting them will help. You may have to sue them.

And from that, Bizapedia lists some of the head criminals at this organization:

Federal law (FDCPA) requires them to send you a letter (US MAIL ONLY) within 5 days of their first contact that contains their name, physical address, the creditor’s name, and the amount of the alleged debt. It also must contains “mini-Miranda” telling you that it is an attempt to collect a debt and that all information will be used for those purposes. The one other important thing that this letter must also have in it is that you have a right to dispute the debt within 30 days of receipt of the letter and if you do so, all collection activity must be stopped until the debt is verified.
