    Unfortunately, they are spam and I too intend to report them because they have rang everyday for a week tirelessly and shamelessly and even woke me up early on a couple of occasions:mad: !!!! So you poor thing might be up for more of these nuisance calls till you put an end to it. I wonder why people accept to do such a job.

    The more important question is HOW they get our numbers? I think that companies that sell them should be held accountable and I would love to know who sold them my number.

    Good luck to you in getting rid of them.
