My caller ID captures 50 numbers. Beginning July 11, 2011 thru July 15, 2011, they have called every day. The dates are older than the above stated dates. The first call I listened to and followed the prompts but it was too confusing, so I ***g up. They leave messages on my answering ma****e but I delete them.Locally, one of the radio networks has issued internet info about how to identify who is calling. My phone number is not the one for the person they ask for. I am handicapped (in a wheelchair) and it is an irritation to chase down the telephone in order to pick up a call.I need to know who is calling and put a stop to it!!

This company called my husband's cell phone three times today (he doesn't answer if he doesn't know the number), they left no message. When he called back (3 times) he gets the message to hold and to have his 9 digit number (which if they left no message you don't have) and after about a minute of listening to hold music, it automatically ****s up.

Just got this call today and not much came up on the Caller ID except the phone number. Where it was from said "TOLL FREE" and that's it. Family member passed away and was probably the wolves looking for s****s.
