Once it was because our number was the same as a car service place in a different area code. So, the phone would ring at 6 AM with queries about cars being ready or could so and so drop off their car.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the series of telephone calls from a doctor's officd about a medical test result and then the series of telephone calls about the unpaid for medical test. Sorry...wrong number (so to speak).<BR/><BR/>And so on.<BR/><BR/>Nothing beat what my wife's family had when they moved from California to New Jersey. It seemed their "new" telephone number would get strange calls asking for somebody who lived there. Then there was the visit from the FBI, as their telephone number was found in the address book of a recently-deceased member of a crime organization...Seems like the phone company was too quick to reassign that number!Frederick Paul Kiesche IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503079579685008728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381393706912671861.post-11209416629161562352008-12-02T12:00:00.000-05:002008-12-02T12:00:00.000-05:00You're probably right on both counts.You're probably right on both counts.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054476535275659839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381393706912671861.post-33053753014493041672008-12-02T07:41:00.000-05:002008-12-02T07:41:00.000-05:00Sounds like a collection agency.

I suspect that people trying to dodge debt collectors probably do actually cave and 'fess up the second or third time someone asks if they're really them. It's just one more symptom of the poor judgement that got them into that situation in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
