I have found that telling the ones I can speak to that I'm reporting them to the FTC does work whether I report them or not.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-30254460049186276942011-06-29T07:52:53.867-05:002011-06-29T07:52:53.867-05:00I had the same thing happen - some automated calli...I had the same thing happen - some automated calling system kept leaving a message during the day (when I'm not home) saying that Brian Greene was late on his student loan and needed to call in. But of course they left no number to call. <br /><br />So one day I was home when the call came in and there was an option to hold for an operator. I told her that Brian Greene was not at this number. "But this is the number he put down four years ago." "Yes - but he doesn't live here - I don't know him and I've had this number for 20 years." And this is what she said, "OK - I'll try to get this changed - what is his Social Security Number?" <br /><br />Can you believe that? Some loser puts my number down (probably randomly) and I just told her that and she asked for his SS#. She said she didn't know how to make it stop otherwise. I said, "Well you can keep calling here, but Brian Greene will never get the message. Just so you know." <br /><br />:)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-9304679445417801222011-06-29T07:47:06.476-05:002011-06-29T07:47:06.476-05:00Pain in the neck...pure and simple.Pain in the neck...pure and simple.Changes in the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942797186537814864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-29413305127222109152011-06-29T06:14:08.905-05:002011-06-29T06:14:08.905-05:00Robin -- I thought about that but wonder if they w...Robin -- I thought about that but wonder if they would then start abusing the person's number I called from. I would hate to infect someone else with this problem.

I might try that but I fear picking up the phone would give them some assurance that there is a live person at the other end of the line and they would only pursue me more.<br /><br />Holland -- That is hysterical. If someone is really looking for Massey Raffe they will start haunting my blog now too. LOL <br /><br />Bonnie (Borninazoo) -- I'm sorry to laugh but that was funny. After your big speech they still called you Mary Poppins! So what was the legal verbiage your lawyer friend gave you in case I ever talk to a real person? <br /><br />Riot Kitty -- Love naming these robocalls. That is the perfect name for them. I can tell you who would be dumb enough to call them back...the person they have driven completely insane from the constant calling. I'm afraid that might be me very soon.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-17039597351653078642011-06-28T23:18:53.962-05:002011-06-28T23:18:53.962-05:00My parents are on the do not call list but still g...My parents are on the do not call list but still get all kinds of robocalls. "If you are not so and so, call..." Yeah right! Who is dumb enough to do that?

I ignored them and as time went on they increased daily ... sometimes as many as 10 times a day/night. One day I answered & actually got a person on the other end. Explained to them that I've been the only one living in this house at this number for many years & a Mary Poppins has never lived here to the best of my knowledge. Then the dude on the other side says, "Thank you for the info 'Mary Poppins'." Ohhhh ... that made me mad. I happened to mention it to an attorney at work & she gave me some verbiage to tell them the next time I answered & talked to a real person. The phone calls stopped not long after that.Bonnie (BornInaZoo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14207856559699180659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-55210898212482721762011-06-28T17:15:56.614-05:002011-06-28T17:15:56.614-05:00I thought... let's find out who MASSEY RAFFE i...I thought... let's find out who MASSEY RAFFE is. I google the name and what comes up as the first 2 best possible answers? Your blog... LOL<br /><br />Massey will remain a mystery as well as a burden.

It was to inform someone ( I did not know the name either) to report to the judge's office. It was real call and did not give another number. Your is clearly a scam. I guess you could try picking up and dropping the phone really fast and see if that screws up the computer.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.com
