im posting this, as i do many numbers i report, only to point out a sad commentary about how us the public are never going to win this battle against phone spammers and pests.
the building i live in just went up for sale last week - not officially yet - it has a "coming soon sign" out front and the realty company. they have yet to take photos or list it but will this week. its a 2 flat. our lease expires sept 15th so we're looking and packing and being screamed at by our landlord to clean up so they can have nice pics to put online for the world to see, which im not doing.
meanwhile, the phone has not stopped ringing from people calling our unlisted landline. some leave messages asking if we know the owners name, cn we give them info on the building, are we the owners. i looked this number up since its local and got an address 2 blocks away but 4 different names attached to it, and all the "free" sites, even the damn white pages, still want to charge you to find a simple number, even a name or landline. another purposely gives tons of names and their numbers but theyre incorrect - ours is with a totally bogus name as are 6 family members i looked up.
i get private clls, blocked calls. One caller ID was "sell to me"
as i type this, 2 calls came in. the guy downstairs said people rang his bell all day sunday. ours doesnt work. :)
its a shame listed numbers are pay now and the phone company is complicit in hiding information. why does 1 phone number hve 3 locations, 4 nmes and why is any spoofing tolerated?
