Unknown who they were (Nuisance call) reported by


This person was calling asking for my husband, they call like 10 times a day, every single day. I have even asked them to take me off their call list. This time I said please take me off your call list and the woman responded, "I'm not talking to you ****" and then hung up. I tried calling the number back to report this person to their company for harassment and her vulgarity but I got a tone like the phone number was not in service but without that message.

When I informed the gentleman that he had reached the wrong number, we started to ask for my name and location. He then asked how much money I had. I eventually just put the phone the phone down. When I tried to call the number back, all I got was a busy tone.
