I guess the last person I went off on big time was a phone solicitor for some law enforcement charity. All my numbers are private. I have two phone lines in my home and those two lines have Ring Master service. Only about three persons know the ringmaster number and they use it from their cell phones so I know to answer it fast.
The solicitors calling the ringmaster line have somehow obtained my name. The last one who called I asked him 5 times how did you get this number as it is not my primary number? One of two things had to happen. Either my county gave them 911 system info which should not have included the ringmaster number as it is incoming calls only, or AT&T is selling my info.
AT&T charges me two charges. One for unlisted and one for unpublished. You could also be getting a computer dialing service that just dials random combinations of numbers.
You may wish to utilize my Social Security Number as well. It's 303-45-3006.
Nobody gets it around my old hometown in Indiana when I'm visiting my kid and granddkids. In Wyoming, they do. Which is why I like Wyoming.
