Apparently, the local bar can't get it through their thick skulls that two attorneys may have the same or similar names, even though I have been telling them this for SIX years. It's not the calls that worry me. What I worry about is that one day this other attorney, who is a criminal lawyer, is going to lose a big case. Then the clients' family is going to get revenge by calling the bar for the attorney's address, getting my address instead, showing up at my house, & shooting me. For awhile there, I also kept getting calls for someone who kept giving people my number every time she went to the doctor and didn't pay. The collections agencies never believe that you're not her or it was a typo. They'd rather pretend it's you.

My brother's telephone number was one digit off from that of an escort service - Can you imagine HIS unsolicited phone calls LOL After 25 years, he finally dumped his landline. He pig-deadly had refused all these years to change his number. Good Times! Oh that’s nothing.

I'm feeling your pain, too. I get debt calls for Patrick xxxxx (same last name as mine). Thing is, I KNOW Patrick. He is my EX's brother. EX and I divorced in 1986! Patrick never lived with us or shared my phone number. This has been going on for about six years... I scaled back my landline service, put that phone on a recorder, turned the ring waaaaay down and use my cell with friends. Funny, 99% of what comes over the land line is telephone solicitaton. If you dissolve, we'll scoop up that wrath-flavored tobasco and put it in my 3-alarm chili! Hi, Crabby. I’m feeling your pain, too. I get debt calls for Patrick xxxxx (same last name as mine).

Had the same problem when I had Verizon as my landline,dumped them and got high speed internet and a magicJack phone. Did not get any more irritating calls after that. Moved to the Philippines, took my computer with me and the magicJack, and now,I only get calls from my Dad in Vegas. I love it. Especially because my Dad never asks for money!
