Just A thought… MAYBE THIS WILL HELP SOME! First, this is my opinion and everything that follows is only my opinion. All of your friends in other cities you usually have their numbers right! Buy a good phone blocker for your landline, like a Digitone Plus or comparable one, it is a commercial grade. Program the numbers and block all except the 800, 866, 877 numbers. Judging from the numbers I looked at there were only one 800 number in the five pages I went through? Even better there were no 877, or 866 numbers? Now you have cut down the numbers you have to go through daily. The 800, 866 and 877 numbers usually come from reputable business. This company in question from what I can tell is in the business of selling numbers, and unfortunately almost every sum bag in the world seems to buy from them. They are in the business of selling phone numbers not concerned with who buys them. Now I don’t have a clue who is selling your number, remember less people who know, it the better off. Secondly NEVER, never give your cell phone out, or for that matter any important information. Why would you take a chance? You don’t know who these people are! If you are having this problem with your cell phone? Buy a new one with no contract! They are as good as the service you are now using plus at $35 to $50 @ month unlimited you are saving money. You can have all your old cell numbers transferred between phones and then relist it with no call registry, (I know, I know unfortunately only legit people respect this it seems). Then add a call blocker to the new cell phone. After just power text everyone with your new cell number. Unfortunately it is a sign of the times. Too many are out of work and need money. They will hit the weakest… The elderly, people who are divorced, poor etc. What is even worse, they try to scare these people. If you see they aren’t very nice, chances are they are not in a real business, but bottom feeder scum. If you have outstanding bills they say you owe? Check your state for limitation laws. Some are done after 10 yrs, but in some states only 5 yrs.. Most that do this type of call really have no case and will never bring a law suit against you. Think about it? If they were going to bring suit against you, it would have already been done. But they will use terror and calling all hours of the day and night to get you to send them money. Tell them to send you the original invoice. Most do not have this. Because these type of lawyers feed on a last resort list and feel any money they receive will be better than none. Don’t Always buy it. You probably owe nothing. they are not nice either. HOPE THIS HELPS, Good luck.
