Wayne,They are able to get your private phone number through different methods of skip tracing.  I work as a bill collector and I utilize many different sites to find people.  Go to peekyou.com; if you have any info on the web you can see a good portion of it there.  Anytime you fill out an application for credit, etc. it asks for your address and phone number.  For a small fee your information can be pulled from there.  Obviously this company/these people have the funds to be able to pay for the informaiton.

I have been called twice by this company today and have only had my new cell phone number for just over 24 hours.The first call was very disturbing, as I asked the man called "Simon" at Premier Exotic Vacation to remove my name and number from his listings as I was not interested.  He responded with "listen to me you a**hole.....I am going to f*** your wife and kill both of you!"  I of course bit onto this with some very choice words of my own.  These people are sick and need to be dealt with ASAP.  This was not a nice call to receive at any time, especially at 6:00pm on a Saturday evening, especially with my family present.  And guess what?  The same idiot called again at 8:15pm, so I wound him up, asked for his number, which he wouldn't give...there's a surprise!!!  So, I played stupid, pretended to play along and hung up.  Let's see if we get any more calls.I would certainly like to have these people cleared away with the rest of the s**t.  The Law needs to be swift and act very fast to stop this invasion of your privacy.This posting is factual and I have not listed all of the profanity used for very obvious reasons.I would love to see all people of this caliber prosecuted and dealt with very harshly!

I get these calls all day at work, no one there I just hang up.  I tried to call the number back but it will not let you call the number must be an outgoing line only.

12:41 PM   2/19/2010   (GMT-6)They just called my landline here in MN for the first time. The CID only showed 'TOLL FREE', and there can be no '000' exchange, so I didn't answer.Stay angry, and always complain to the FCC, the only way to stop them short of hiring a hit man, as appealing as that sounds.

Guy called me, I couldn't understand him through his accent, so I hung up. He called me back, I said "whatever it is you're selling, I am not interested." His response? "Hold on now, you bi***! You bi***!" I am infuriated! Where I'm from that is NOT acceptable!

This number called me 3 times yesterday.  I answered the 1st time and no one said anything.  Didn't answer the 2nd time, 3rd answered it getting it out of my purse but they would not say anything.  How do we stop them from calling?
