My Dad from Europe, but how?

Arab dude I think..called him back and number not in service..phone company should shut this dick down

it rings and hang up when i pick up. every hour for past 10 days.

Doesn't leave message. Hangs up.

calling and asking for some who use to live here

Yep, I just got the text message, too. And my service still charges me for text. This was unsolicited and cost me money. Is this legal? If it cost me money then they should have to pay since I ONLY use this phone for family and volunteer work and they would not have given my number. So how did these marketing scum get my info? And how do we go about making them pay for/reimburse the cost of their unwelcome text? I am on disability so for those of you who want to jump on my case for "whining" about cost... believe me... especially in this economy... EVERY penny counts. I tried calling it back via Google-voice but it just came back after a few rings with a prerecorded message stating that this number has a mailbox but that it had not been set up yet. Real professional. Can you say SCAM?

Michael says he represents a online yellow pages and do I want to renew. Since I have never asked or agreed to such a service I say no. He says that to get my business off of their records and to not be listed in next years book I need to go through a recorded verification process. I am very careful to never use the word yes or any other affirmative. Then he proceeds, in this verification process to tell me that I owe $499 and they will invoice me and my name will be removed. I tell him that I have never agreed to a free trial, to be in his book, that there is no contract and that I do not owe him anything. I'm contacting the state attorney general, as did my husband when they tried this scam with his company.
