I had a similiar experience where I did not owe anybody anything but they kept calling my house... They called ME! They don't call me anymore... I just would listen to them and when there was only silence on my end they would scream louder and louder and louder and lounder and then there would only be SILENCE and they would hang up. Occasionally, I would play the "Sounds of the Haunted House" while they screamed and other times I would play "Sounds of the Firing Range" or to keep them fit, I would play "Marching Cadence Calls of the U.S. Marine Corps"... The calls started becoming less frequent so I would play some Gangsta Rap for them to listen to on the phone and when the calls eventually stopped, I missed them. I KNEW I OWED NO DEBt. it is a scam so they can get your social security number and credit card and checking account information and STEAL YOUR IDENTITY! I rather miss their calls though. It was a lot of mental stimulation to come up with something to do to them every day. The silence and then the toilet flushing was very effective. May I recommend THAT as a response. I think the one that finally stopped them from calling was:" You have reached the residence of Akmed the terrorist and you are now being tracked by Homeland Security..." Well, maybe I will be getting some more calls SOMEDAY but that was a year ago!:(
