I've kept getting calls from this number over the past few weeks. Evidently it's the Women's Research and Development Center, but I have no idea why they'd be calling me. I don't have voice mail, so there's no message to listen to. The one time I was able to pick up, I could barely hear who was on the other line; they just kept repeating some word (Tina? Ting? Something, anyway...), so I hung up. They call at really weird hours, too; some are during normal business hours, but I've gotten a few that were around 11:50 pm and 12:30 am. I have no idea what kind of social service place would call at those hours. Maybe it's just somebody who happens to work there repeatedly calling the wrong number. Or maybe this organization has a new number now and the caller ID and Google are wrong. Who knows. In any case, I'm getting tired of these calls and want them to stop.

Got another call from them at 5:48 pm yesterday while I was out. Tried calling them back just now to get them to take me off their calling list, but there's no answer. It is after business hours, but I've gotten calls from them after business hours (after midnight, no less), so somebody has to be there. I'm beginning to think this may be a personal call to the wrong number/person
So I got a call from them just now and I was actually able to pick it up. The connection was terrible, so I could barely hear what they said. They said they were Time Warner Cable and something about either the cable box or modem being switched. I kept saying that I was sorry, but the connection was bad and I could barely hear them. After a while, I they pressed some buttons on their phone (Rude!) and I said that I was pretty sure my modem didn't need to be fixed or switched out. I think they hung up right after they pressed the buttons.
I do have Time Warner and I do have phone service through them, so it would make sense for them to have that number, but I gave them my cell number since that's the one I generally use. In any case, that doesn't explain why I got those calls that were so freaking late. When I have more time, I'm going to give the number a call back and see what this is all about. I have no idea if this is really Time Warner, a scammer, a prankster, or just some random person with the wrong number. This is getting fairly ridiculous. :/
I'm thinking it's probably not really Time Warner. They didn't ask for me by name, they just kept saying, "TIME WARNER CABLE" and "NEED TO SWITCH OUT YOUR BOX?" Could've just been a way to get my address or something creepy like that. Ugh. I'm thinking I'll contact Time Warner and ask them about it.
Me: Hello?
Them: Mumble mumble mumble?
Me: Who is this?
Them: Mumble mumble mumble?
Me: I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.
It sounded like a different person than the incredibly rude person who started button mashing and then hung up, but I can't be sure. Let's hope that's the end of it.
