I received a call from 6786793361 looking for someone I've never heard of. It was a recording leaving the person's name and a reference number. I returned the call asking them to remove my number from the calling list. Instead of them listening to my request they repeatedly asked if I knew (name). I repeated my requested, they repeated their question. We went about this for about a minute then they hung up. I called back again I got a female voice and of course my number will pull up my name they ask if I was (name) and did I know (name). My reply to them was remove my number from your calling list. The female continued to ask did I know (name) I replied remove my number from your calling list. Again we go at this for about a minute then the young lady hangs up on me. I called back again, got the same person... She tried to change her voice...I stated [***] you just hung up on me...remove my number from your calling list. She hangs up... I call back and get the same female again.... I ask to speak with a supervisor, she claims there is no one there. I repeated my request to remove my number from the calling list and I don't know no such person. The female hangs up again without an acknowledgement that my number would be removed. So I called back again--Dammit remove my number, I don't know this person--STOP CALLING MY DAMN NUMBER.

Based on what you posted, I get the impression that this MIGHT be a third-party debt collector. In fact I went through something similar to what you have described. In my case I was receiving calls from a debt collector asking for a complete stranger. Getting them to stop was impossible. I got the impression that they were seeking whoever had the number before I did. It seems to me that these characters assume that the contact information in their records is accurate and assume whoever they are speaking to is only making excuses. There is also the possibility that some immoral person entered a random number in application when they were applying for a line of credit. When the person in question defaults, the innocent party connected to the number used ends with the calls. Consider the option of a call blocking device or app. In the meantime you might want to look into sending a cease and desist letter to the operation in question by certified mail.
