I get a voice message from this number at least a couple times a week. The lady gives her name and then says that she is following up on our conversation we had about a month ago. I know for a fact that I have never had a conversation with this lady. I am sure it is a ploy to get a call back. Clever but not clever enough...

I have received many, many calls from this number. I was nice at first, but after about (I'm not even kidding) the tenth call, I got very rude with them. I asked them to block my number, I asked them to take my number off their list, but nothing seems to get them to stop. They continue to hassle me, asking for Stephanie Banta, a person I have never heard of in my life. I have even threatened to hire a lawyer if they don't stop calling me. This is so stupid I don't even know where to begin. I am frustrated and this company is on "my last frigging nerve!!!!"
If you KNOW you owe no money, or believe the call was from a fake debt collector, please take the time to read this:

Modern technology has given telescammers the tools to call you.
Since those telescammers are criminals, they ignore both the Do Not Call list and any request you might make.
Modern technology can also protect you, if YOU do a few simple things!
The first thing to do is buy a call blocker device, service or app.
Then, use it correctly.
Google "call blocker" for more information.

If you cannot afford or use such a tool, then:
* Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
* Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers! All that does is verify your phone number! And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
* If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar). Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.
