Being the kind of person i am I just kept telling the ones who called for the other ppl how i got the #.
I did try to call the phone company back and get a new #. They said sure for another 45 dollars. Being stubborn , I thought heck no. 
I would get a call about 2 times a month for these ppl. Each time I explain how i got the #. Each time it was settled. Well you would think the one time a police person called here looking for someone., and I went threw the whole story again. Luckly small town. They knew me or could check.
That one should have really set me off. Nop......
The part that made me very aware. Was when it effected my credit card.
I Had to prove who I was because I had changed my #. The # brought up these other sets of ppl. Who had bigger issues than I thought.
After dealing many times with them. I hope , I pray its fixed.
The smart thing for me to have done. But I did not know why this was happening was to unblock my # so they could see my name.
I got a wonderful person who told me to lose that #. After I answered a ton of questions. Alot ....of them.
Who would have thought they would give you a # hooked with so many issues .
Also lesson learned if you are calling a company and they more than likely need to know who you are and have a unlisted # unblock it LOL
Lesson of a lamb....that may make lesson ....i have lost track 
I can laugh now, but its been that kinda day |
That can be very aggravating
I have had this happen many times b4 with the two #'s I now have.
Our city & surrounding area were having a heck of a time a couple of months ago, it was on the news about how ppl were getting up to 10 different telemarketers calling in a week. I ignored them for as long as I could stand, than I would call them back.
AND Boy do ya ever have to be clear & quick cuz they are well trained. No, seems to mean to them I will get you my supervisor whom is even more well versed in getting you to buy something.
I simply ask them right away, Please add my number to your no calling list.
Or that fog horn that you get from the Cruise lines after you say hello? If you were deaf you no longer are after that.
I had a few personal calls to my cell # when I had just gotten it last year, they called each morning at 6 or earlier, thankfully I hadn't gone to bed yet or had just gotten up. :S They were guys looking for their supervisor for some type of construction company.
I had this one lady call for some girl. Thought I had gotten rid of her. She calls back repeats my number and was like well the number's correct, but where is she? You're not her. DUHHHHHH She wanted to argue with me about my number not being mine. I hung up. LMAO I am not obligated to stay on the phone with anyone. It is not my duty to repeat. AND I don't like to waste my cell, paying for other ppl's mistakes.
There is a time to be polite, and there is also a time to bring out a buisness like sharpness. <<That always seems to work the best for me.
