Maybe you're a bill collector.

Maybe you're a telemarketer. Maybe you're calling from a doctor's office, and god I hope not, because if your response to "I'm sorry, who is this?" is to give your own first and last name and not the name of your employer and the reason you are calling, then as far as I'm concerned you are a wrong number.

I have a collector calling me who is flat-out lying. They claim to be calling about a legal matter involving a local animal hospital where we have taken one of our previous dogs, but we're in New Mexico and they're calling from New York. I called the vet and they say no, our account is clean. So these collectors bought some debt that I cleared through bankruptcy and they haven't sent me any letters: they've been calling me for two years now, leave the same one minute message.

They're blocked, so it goes straight to VM without ringing. I just have to delete the VMs occasionally as they fill up my phone's memory.
