Re: Harrassing phone calls - what can be done?
Posted by Mark on 4/17/07

    I started getting phone calls a few days ago. They call, but when I
    get to the phone, or it goes to voicemail they don't talk/answer. So
    I figured out that if "Operations Division" @ 713-271-3899 is a
    business/telemarketer I would just report them to the do not call
    list and hope that it stops. From the sounds of it, it just gets
    worse and I am hoping that by getting a hold of it before it gets
    out of control, I can hopefully stop it before it starts.

    www.donotcall.gov

    I am not sure it will do anything, but perhaps it will bring
    attention to this guy that keeps calling everyone.

    Until then, I am off to find a website that you can register his
    number at for some sort of harrasment.

    Good Luck, and I hope the phone calls end.
