I'm with rage and MooreTel! All they ever want is for me to pay some bill. 1 thing about making bad business decisions and destroying you personal credit, you don't have to worry much about identity theft. I figure if suddenly my creditors stop calling, some poor sap is trying to use my identity. John C.

Hey John,
Happy Birthday!!!

I know what you mean Jeff but unfortunately that's a luxury I can't afford when I have to deal with my parents being in one hospital or another or some home health organization trying to contact me for whatever reason.

There are times when both of them are in different hospitals in different cities and I can't keep the numbers straight anyway. Not to mention my business calls on the same number.... you get the point. It is becoming more often that I have to put the phone on the charger every night because I've ran the battery down in a single day.

But there are some people less fortunate than me, at least I am able to take care of them (with the help of family and friends) and still manage to work enough to pay the bills.

This is a good one.

I answer the corporate switchboard. When someone in the buildings makes a call to a caller ID phone and they don't leave a message (as in a miss dialed call)the caller ID phone gets our main switchboard number registered.

Then the switchboard lights up and I answer it. The caller says, "You just called me, what do you want?" I tell them the company name again and ask them if they know someone at Wells in FdL, WI. When they don't, I advise them that someone may have miss dialed and to ignore the call.

What I'd like to say is... Don't you have caller ID to avoid unknown calls? These yahoo's are just begging to talk with someone they don't know. Plus, none of them understand a companies incoming and outgoing lines are different as to what will show up on caller ID.

It's the "little" things that can be so frustrating! Grrrr :bang:

Off subject, but justifiable, at least I think! Thanks for the HB Vad60. And Mike in F'ville, too. John C.

I Googled the number and saw this----
Imagine my suprise to when I came home from voting to find a voice mail message from none other than Bill Clinton, telling me to vote for his friend Jon Corzzine. The caller id number was 1-866-849-3243, so if you want to call Bill yourself, have at it. Tell him and Jon to stop calling my house everynight at dinner time!

Just thought i would toss in a little more confusion to the topic :shrug:

What stinks is that it appears to be a Vodavi voice mail system processing their calls (I recognized the voice used for system prompts. Unless she's double-shifting, we might be able to home in on the offender). I need to track down the dealer who sold them this system and smack them silly.......Twice.

Hey, at least calling this number allows you to block your number from being called again. I blocked all of mine. It says that the change will take effect within one business day. Bear in mind, I have never received a call from this number, so we'll have to just wait and see.

I tracked them on RESPORG and contacted the carrier. I got some guy's voice mail. Sounds a bit shady to say the least.

Hi, I just received a voice message from the subject number [866-849-3243]. It was the Central Florida Blood bank.

I don't answer numbers I don't recognize also.
