About six months ago I started getting calls from this number. Every day. Seeing as how all my finances were in order I wasn't expecting any collection agencies to be calling or anything like that. But every time I answered there was noone there (I assume an auto caller calls you and then it take a few minutes to route to someone at that company after you answer.) I started ignoring the calls. For about two weeks. I googled the number and came up with all kinds of unclear but alarming info revolving around scams. It seems like the callers are identifying themselves with various companies and demanding money. One day I answered the phone (totally pissed off of course). I demanded the lady on the other end tell me who she was and that they were calling me every day and that it was ridiculous. The lady told me noone at that office was calling me every day and they would take me off their list. She gave me a company name and location which I looked up online after the call. I can't remember what it was now but it seemed to jive as there were reports of fraud associated with the name. The calls stopped for a while.

They started again about two weeks ago. At first I ignored the calls but they consistently wake me up every morning. I started answering the phone "Wolfram & Hart, how may I help you?" But usually noone is there. Today someone answered back. An Indian man asked for me by name, even spelling my name. I told him that this was a law firm. He asked if he had the wrong number and I said yes. Hopefully that will stop the calls.

If not, I'm going to tell them I'm deceased. ugh.

T Mobile can't block numbers apparently. I probably should check my credit file. I called the FCC and they said they don't take complaints of scammers but they told me to contact the FTC so I sumbmitted an online complaint form.
