Feel like I'm being stalked....very frustrated

I don't answer it if I don't know the number either. I'm definitely of the mind that they can leave a message if it's important.

Just keep answering but don't say anything seems best to me (or else the whistle) they will get so tired of it and hopefully be charged for the calls.
It happened to me before and I suspected one of my kid's friends must have got hold of the number. David just took the call and yelled he'll get the police on them. Surprizingly it worked

That sounds frustrating! I would get tired of that too! :grumpy:

I like the air horn idea, or use some sort of noise maker when they call. Hehe, that would be pretty funny.

Hopefully they'll knock it off!

I do that too.

This is going to sound very odd, but if I don't know the number, I answer it anyway with "Hallo!" When they ask for someone, I ask, "Wo is dis?" and if I have no idea who it is (or a telemarketer) I start speaking in (broken) German. They normally hang up

I verbally abuse telemarketers

Like in "The 40-Year Old Virgin"? Has anyone ever seen that?

"Are you near a tall building? Uh huh... JUMP OFF!"

EDIT: Wow, I must have been tired when I wrote this (I typed "version" instead of "virgin") :shock:

I hope you get to the bottom of this. Peg. Gosh, how strange. Here's a story for ya, along those lines:

We get some too, but mostly creditors for the few things we owe on with strange numbers and being "unavailable" and all. We're not listed, so, unless we give them our number, or comes from a health agency, they shouldn't be calling.

We had a strange number show up this weekend, but it was my hubby's mom's cell. But, on our tv and phone, it showed up a totally different area code and number. Weird!
