855-586-7800

Anybody else getting numerous calls from this number? I started getting calls, sometimes 2 or 3 a day from this number several weeks ago. I don't answer in that it's not a number I recognise. I did an internets search which came up as a spam, most who have answered say no-one is on the other end and they don't leave a message.

and it looks as if my phone isn't smart enough to block calls.

Or is it through your service provider.

I'm too lazy tonight to look it up.

Tap the little letter I next to the phone number. A screen will come up. You should see "block this caller" as one of the phrases. Choose that and it should be done.

- And in all likelihood it's either an outright scam or the surreptitious kind (advertising). Bookmark the link and check back later.....

Since 800notes is user driven, check back there in a few days and there should be more comments. Maybe someone will ask who the number is, or find out and post it.

Also, if it's driving you nuts you may want to call your service provider and ask them to trace or block the number. Or maybe google your type of phone and see it there's a way to block or trace calls from it.

. . . "It's a debt collector for student loans. She wouldn't name the company, even after considerable prodding, but sounds to me like a sleeze ball outfit. Hiding your identity, refusing to identify yourself when asked. All that spells UNETHICAL debt collector to me. Might also be one of the many student loan reduce your debt SCAMS going around. Well, at least you know what type of call it is, if not exactly who is calling."
