I told them one call to go ahead and file but then they call again the next day. What do I do! If you know the phone numbers the calls are coming from, you may be able to block the calls. You don't have to answer the calls. Sometimes, when you answer a recorded call a 'robocall' and talk to the person or press a number, it leads to more calls. You might have call blocking features on your phone or answering machine, or you can ask your phone service provider about options.
I have been receiving calls from the same number for weeks that is a "robo call" but that says papers are being filed against me. I am not the person that they are trying to reach. I didn't look at my caller ID, as I was expecting a call.
I pressed the button and explained to the person on the phone that I did not know this person and would like to ensure that they would remove my. I am disabled from a rare syndrome that only one place in the U. I explained that I am quite sick and would like my to be taken off from this issue. The man I spoke to was rude, refused to give me the name of the company,actually made fun of me because I said that I wasn't well.
I again just redirected him to removing my please. He would not allow me to speak as he continually spoke over me. I asked if he was done? At that point I stated I would like to speak with a supervisor to ensure that I was not going to be harassed. He said sure, then he said hello, you asked to speak with a supervisor. I said yes, the one above you. He laughed and said he was the highest.
I stated that there is always someone above you. Again laughter, my husband is a supervisor for a large cell phone company and there is always someone above, did you think I was that uninformed? He said that he thought whatever medication I was on had apparently made me confused. I asked again for the company's name and got more abuse from him, and he refused to give me his name. He stated no, he was quite good at his job and that he was getting paid to be on the phone so we could just continue to talk.
I said that would be fine, but I needed to speak to someone who is actually able to do the job correctly, as my 3 years old granddaughter had more sense than he did, he hung up at that point. There is always an address.
However the representative that just took my call was definitely more logical because he was able to give me the companys name and that of the person he was transferring me to with out any issues that he had in our prior conversation. He kept trying to talk over me, again, until I finally I have 5 grown children and realized that he needed to be talked to like a child l increased my voice to say ENOUGH! You are literally acting like a 2 yr old throwing a tantrum! Adam Fortis. Have a good day Mr.
I apologize for basically giving a play by play of a call that should have never happened. They do not care who you are or what you are saying - as he said I can stay on the phone with you, I get paid hourly to do so. Sorry again for the rant. Just block their numbers if you can do so. I rather enjoyed reading your story. It's nice to know I'm not the only one being so rudely harrased and frustrated with telemarketers.
I had a similar experience, but I wished I had handled my situation the way you did yours. You stayed calm for he most part. And you were smart to call back and get his name and info like that.
When I tried to call back I got the same person 3 times in a row, and then it went to voice-mail 3 times and then I got a different person, who was just as rude as the first. And they kept hanging up on me! I was just calling back trying to see why they would call me everyday multiple times a day just to hang up when I say hello? They would say your number is removed from our system and hang up. But it's been happening since I got a new number 3 years ago.
The Same company keeps calling me looking for some miguel guy. Im like im not even a dude, or spanish I keep telling you people I don't who who your looking for. But then they threaten me saying I'm harassing them! Because I kept calling back when they would hang up on me! It just amazes me how people can be so mean to others. And I'm sorry that guy made fun of you being sick. That was un called for in any circumstance. But you know what they say, what goes around comes around I will take your advice tho and block the number so I don't get any more calls I got calls asking for a "Miguel" too.
When he asked if I was sure then I replied, " yeah, I'm lying to you - he lives under my bed! Their purpose is to get you to say "yes or yeah" Wow commuter girl. I'm glad for stumbling across your comment. The treachery today is out of control!!!!
Good information!!! I hadn't thought of that possibility! Most of the time I don't answer those calls at all but did today and wish I hadn't!! I tell them I am not that person; some will remove the number from the person's account.
Today, the caller said I don't think I can do that because this is the number she gave. He then asked me why this person gave this number, after I had told him that I didn't know the person. She has some legal suits pending, I guess since there have been live callers to tell her to call or the case would be closed. She tells the pharmacy that my number is hers and they call to say medicine is ready.
At least, they took the number off, as they said there were 4 people who said they had this number. Frustration is the issue here; I'm beginning to feel like I'm getting harrassed. The other day I got 2 calls from someone looking for Mr. But if you want to come over and mow the lawn you're more than welcome to do it.
I think they were a bit stunned as they didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then they abruptly hung up. I believe in "an eye for an eye I'm not gonna take their B. I usually tell these callers that I may have been born at night, but I wasn't born last night.
And if the IRS wants their money, they can come and get it. Let them garnish my wages if they want it that badly. In these situations, putting your number in the Do Not Call Registry simply does not suffice, and you need to use other methods to keep these callers at bay.
One of your best defenses is to use call blocking options. Which type of call-blocking technology you need depends on which phone you are using—a traditional landline, a mobile, or a home phone that places calls over the internet VoIP. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which means that your phone makes calls over the internet and not over phone lines.
Most of the Android and iPhone phones offer an option to block the calls immediately before they reach you. This means that you will not receive the blocked call at all—it will go straight to your voicemail. Call-blocking apps work like a filter on your phone. They can help you:. Be careful as installing these apps means that you will most likely need to grant access to your contact list.
If you wish to reduce the number of unwanted calls, check which blocking services your phone company offers. In the table below, you will find each of the big phone carriers, along with the protective features they have provided for their customers.

Additionally, write down the phone number if it is displayed on your caller identification screen. File a report with your local police department. The report is important in case you need to subpoena your phone company for the caller's information.
Without a subpoena it will be difficult for you to learn the identity of your caller. Visit your local police station or call your local police department's non-emergency number of your life or property is not threatened. Otherwise, dial immediately to report the situation. For example, ex partners, debt companies, silent calls and so on. In this day and age we have a tendency to be highly strung and our patience for things short at the best of times. Malicious calls are by their nature intended to cause you stress and anxiety.
They are usually made from one person to another with the intention of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety. They can be upsetting and distressing, but there are ways you can deal with them. Try walking away from the phone for a few moments before replacing the handset.
