How do I get property buyers to stop harassing me?
The same company has been harassing for the better part a year now wanting to buy a property I don't own. I have filled a DO NOT CALL registration, I have blocked their numbers multiple times, I have told them to stop calling and to remove my name from their list, and now I'm getting maybe 1 or 2 calls a day and multiple texts.
You're viewing a single thread.
that means you also have their number right?
make a craigslist listing with content like "free concrete mixer" "free plushies" or something like that and their number as contact info, won't work on robocalls probably
the effect is twofold: first they will get calls (originating from real numbers) from cheapskates wanting their freebies. then their number may be picked up by a crawler and get cold calls from unrelated spam operations. this all in addition to figuring out what just happened
If OP is blocking their numbers and they keep calling from new ones, most likely they're spoofing numbers. Doing what you're saying could in that case affect someone completely innocent
even better. numbers spoofing is illegal right?
But how do you identify who's responsible?
Ask your own phone company. While spoofing is relatively easy, an actual connection has to be made from a real number, and your phone company should be able to provide you with the information. Unless it’s a reseller, then it will be a lot harder.
if there's will, there's a way. playing along might reveal some company info
They're probably spoofing the number. Call them back to confirm before you screw up some poor bastard's phone.
if you get it right you might force them to change phone number
while it's a certified chaotic move, this might be not entirely legal
