This number called me today on my cell. Apparently they think I speak spanish (perhaps the person who had this number before me (I just got this number with new service from Straight Talk) was hispanic... Well I answered it. A woman speaking spanish spouted off a long list of words then paused, i then said "um you have the wrong number" and she paused and then said in English "oh I'm looking for (and said some name I couldn't make out in spanish)" I didn't know who she asked for (I know it wasn't me since I haven't given this number to anybody but a few family members and friends) so I said "you have the wrong number" and she I think said "im sorry" and hung up on me. This is not the first spanish-only call I've received on this new number of mine. The last two were from another number. The first of those I answered and it was an automated spanish recording which then put me in a queue I think to speak to someone. The second time that number called I ignored it since I was in a doctors appointment at that time. That number was 319-242-7360.
Received calls daily from this number. Called it back and got a recording in Spanish, then music, then hung up on. Had a Spanish-speaking friend call the number. She pressed "2" to speak to a representative and they had my name. Said they were part of a CB group? She asked the rep what she meant by CB group and all the rep would say was "this call is monitored". She asked the rep to not call my phone number any more. We'll see if I get any more calls.

Doubt that it was because someone prior to you being hispanic having that phone number. I have had the same number for more than 5 years and just got a call from that number today...and I most definitely am NOT hispanic, in any way, shape, or form.
