Someone keeps calling me and harasses me

Hi

I guess since you don't have any specific information about this person except that he is calling from 'American Lending', you can request him to provide the mailing information of the company so that you can do future correspondence.

This way, you will be able to acquire the address of the company and send a letter explaining your issue.

My husband and I have been getting calls from the same 718 number. Every time we answer the phone, though, the line is silent for a minute or so and then they hang up. When we call it back, it does say it's not in service. We were recently scammed by a company who pretended to offer us a loan in order to get money out of us, so we thought it might have to do with that. We've been thinking of changing our number since it's gotten so bad. Please let me know if you find anything else out.

There is a device out there, the developer claims is for Law Enforcemnent use only (but hey this is the good ole' US of A and if someone wants to give their money, someone else is always selling). The deivsie allows the user to change the Caller ID information which is dispalyed on a receiving phone or CID unit. For example , they could have the caller ID say its your mom calling, when in fact its a bill collector. I think this is highly un ethical and the FTC needs to propose legislation to block this before it starts,but lets face it they probably won't.

You can do a search for Caller ID Spoofing.

Wow...amazing what money can buy. Maybe changing our number isn't such a bad idea after all. We've never been harassed, per se, but I'm concered about whomever is calling selling our number to others. We finally got most of the bill collectors off our back and were able to answer the phone without looking at the caller ID....I hate being nervous when the phone rings!

like sickofit,people is call and hang up on me and my husband.after that a girl speaks,that she is looking for her father with same name of my husband.my husband and me,try to help her but she hang up.i try to locate her telephone;402-517 9978 ,maybe other state and the computer,this wonderful friend,told me was a pre paid card of att,and the list goes on.numbers reports include:720-587-9978;404-461-9978;402-5179978;412200-9978;4122309978;312-7309978."you'll notice that they are end in 9978."a message recorded-"you are returning a calling to apre paid calling service system,and the system andthe party that called you can not be reached at this number.i really like people with feelings and i dont like to see good people sad.if my husband was a father,i really treat this girl like mother,because i hate people with no feelings.but you see this girl dont want to be found.

402-Omaha Nebraska, 720= Denver Colorado; 404=Atlanta, GA; 412 Pittsburgh, PA;312-Chicago, IL.

Often times, calling cards will display a number which is just the number of the switching station the call was routed through.For example a person may be calling you from say Chicago Illinois, but the Caller ID may route throuh Pittsburgh. That person could call you back a few minutes later and this time it may come through Denver.
There is no reasoning for this, it's just the way the call was routed.

There is no easy way to determine a persons location by phone number if they are using a calling card.

they continue to call and make suspense like a terror movie.i really dont care,because i have cheese and knife to cut the cheese the time i want,i go to give them a suprise,go to be a big suprise,i dont like to disapoint so hard work telephon maniacs .thanks all the wonderful people from debt consalidation help us,because all of you are the best of the best.

The same thing happens to me!!! They keep calling my cell phone asking of Janet, which I'm not. When I try to call back it says that I can't call back the number. They called this morning, on SATURDAY, at 5 in the MORNING!! Sometimes it makes me cry because they will call at early hours of the morning after I have stayed up late studying for an exam. I am about to go and just try to change me number :(

Sickofit---same thing happens to me from the 602 area code. I finally talked to someone, and it turns out, their calling card # is my phone number! How screwed up is that!

Someone keeps calling me from a (630)-462-4524 number when I answer it the person hangs up when I call the number back it says that this number is no longer in service. What should I do?
