Starting a few months ago, I keep getting calls for this woman, I'll call her PC. Apparently she gives out my phone number to people she doesn't want to talk to. A few months ago, she owed (owes?) someone a TON of money, and the collections agency was calling like 15 times a day for a while until I finally convinced them I wasn't her (you know, cuz my vm says "This is JULIE leave a message!). They were kind of rude about it at first but I'm sure they get that a lot from people who really are that person.
Anyway, it's happening again, but this time it's different. I'm not sure, but it seemed like the person I just talked to was a cop in Jacksonville FL. He's been calling for a few days too. He never said what company he was with... If it wasn't he had a lot of questions and I guess maybe I shouldn't have answered them all, but he didn't ask where I live or my last name so the red flag never went off... you know, how long have you had this number, how much do they call for her, you're sure you've never met her, why are they calling you for her, etc.
Is there anything I can do about this? Is she allowed to give my phone number out to people? I've had it for 4 years now, and I can't change it for any number of reasons.
