UNBELIEVABLE!! As soon as I picked up a man started saying something about static, hold on, there's static – his voice was extremely clear, but he kept saying it and said let me try again, I’ll call you right back. I immediately Googled the number and found what everyone is saying here. I didn’t answer the second call and immediately blocked. What a bunch of pathetic, desperate LOSERS. (One hint: I don't do business with any company that won't be up front enough to show their name on my Caller ID.)
If you have recently opened a business or applied for a state Tax number - this is happening because your state published your private information. Because new businesses are a matter of public record, these companies scan the rolls for new taxpayers trolling for new businesses to harass. Call your state comptroller and lodge a complaint. Your private telephone number should not be a matter of public record.
