Thread: What is Going On ?

I have two phones-a cell phone and a land line for my computer . About six months ago, I changed numbers on my landline (someone was harassing me). The change has set forth an era of strangeness.

The first thing was that I found out that was the numbers was owned by a neighbor, who had a bunch of bill collectors looking for her. After I set them straight, I had about a month of quiet, then, it started.

Not a month goes by that some collection company isn't calling me-looking for someone, anyone. A few weeks ago, several medical staffing companies were calling me. Several people, supposedly registered nurses, left them my number as their contact number. If you're seeking a 35.00 an hour job, why in the world would you give them a false contact number ?

So that they wouldn't have to deal with all the calls that they uselessly. Maybe they didn't like you so they gave your number to them as a joke? (that does happen a lot)

Hahahaha. If you can't see how and why that happened, there's no hope for you at all.

For about a year while my son was in high school we had the misfortune of having a number that had belonged to a family that had run up debts all over town. The first few times someone called I explained that I wasn't the person they were looking for. Most of them didn't believe me and would call back. So I took a new tack. 'So sue me,' I'd say. 'Take me to court. I'm not paying you a penny.' In a short time the calls stopped.
