Persistent Harassing phone calls from usually a man or sometimes a woman always with an India accent. They're asking if I have received medical treatment within the last 5 yrs.
I have refused to answer, I have screamed at them to stop calling, I have threatened harassment charges, I have asked for their information and as of this writing still haven't been giving any useful reliable information. I have tried to block their number which sometimes starts with area code 972 also phone number 1999999 which I didn't think was possible.
My latest effort is simply to say wrong number an hang up. I figure sooner or later someone's going to give up. At this point I have nothing to loose and I am starting to enjoy the challenge. It has to frustrate them as well, I only hope.
However, all that aside, they were able to get some information on a procedure I had several years ago. They had the type of service an my phone number, which is my cell number. I haven't had a land line in 15 yrs.
So the right to privacy act I signed was breeched by the hospital most likely. No way to know for sure, and the callers aren't cooperating with giving info.
I did have to laugh, one guy said to me "I talked to you before" and indeed I did recognized the voice, so I said, "yes I told you to stop calling" he said, "but ma'am I am from the US Medical Dept".....click! As of this date I have logged 58 calls in a three month period.
